Richard LittlerI popped over to LinkedIn, so you don't have to.
Yes, it's still like a scientology convention.

erik@Richard_Littler What? Aren't you a passionate people leader dedicated to empowering staff to actualize their authentic selves by making the tough choices that inspire them to maximize their potential to do less with more to meet the quarter-after-quarter demands of shareholders calling for sweeping budget cuts destined to ruin your company? Or maybe you're just not into Kaizen?
Miri@erik @Richard_Littler Holy shit you just won buzzword bingo 😳
jamespthomas@Richard_Littler landmarkedin?
bananamangodog@Richard_Littler I'm sorry you had to do that. Glad you made it back here safely.
Sumukha S@Richard_Littler I use LinkedIn only as a job portal.
Marc Etienne@fnordius @Richard_Littler Actually I am looking for a job and I use it and apply to companies.
sunflowerinrain@Richard_Littler The nudge I needed to close my account. Sad because some of my friends and ex-colleagues don't use anything else, but the spam drowns their updates anyway.

Dan Sugalski@Richard_Littler I liked LinkedIn better when it was just a honeypot for MBAs and the Ambitious and kept them otherwise out of the way and out of sight.

Someone here described it as "Grindr for companies," and I can't really disagree. It has minimal utility for me, there are only one or two folks I keep in touch with using that platform.
The rest is unsolicited job inquiries and connection requests from recruiters. The absence of an option to flag my profile as "I am NOT looking or a new job, thanks very much" is telling.
LinkedIn is quite enshittified.
Raindrops and Roses@Richard_Littler Intrigued. What's a scientology convention like?
skry@raindrops_and_roses @Richard_Littler People stand around and try not to emote.
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)@Richard_Littler I engage with LinkedIn exactly as it was intended: as a marketing channel. Writing things there is fine, but dear $DEITY never read anything anyone has posted.
I come here and a few other places for actual communication. Sometimes I'll post the same thing here and there because I am interested in hearing people here's opinion and I want to throw it into the void there. There seem to be a few people who use it wrong and post intelligent replies there, which just confuses me.
JaxxAI@Richard_Littler are people still stupid enough to get up at 4:30am to get ahead of the competition?
Dźwiedziu@Richard_Littler Why? Is someone's wife missing?
@Richard_Littler I consider LinkedIn to be the Successories poster from hell.
I dropped my account when I retired. I felt liberated as a result.
xyhhx 🔻@Richard_Littler connect w me tho i'm funny (and looking for a job)
moeIf only there was a way to stay in touch without staying in touch.
Cosvak@Richard_Littler Everyone is super stoked about a pedophile who wrote some shit scifi novels and enslave children to do outdated and menial tasks as a way of control and torture?
Dats fucked up
RevPudDudley@Richard_Littler I realized at last, there's no kind of job I want to do anyway ...
It's very liberating

Cassandra@Richard_Littler That’s not fair; there are way more people on LinkedIn than there are active Scientologists
😉
Negahyphen@Richard_Littler I always thought the relentless positivity and shunning of anything unpleasant on LinkedIn reminded me way more of some people I know from Salt Lake City…
