What a prick he is
@Chloeg THAT is very good. Thanks for the laugh, I need all I can get today.

@LockEx what an asshole. Iād love to see a fediverse version of LinkedIn to undermine their monopoly on careers
FeloniousPunk@thomas_klopf @LockEx The mere thought of this just made my eye twitch
@FeloniousPunk @LockEx yeah not really sure fediverse would make the concept of LinkedIn any better, rather just to see it damage them a bit
Karl Heinz HƤsliprinz@thomas_klopf @FeloniousPunk @LockEx #fedihire is a thing already. Searchability still tricky, but should be doable.

Shannon Clark@thomas_klopf @LockEx the original version of LinkedIn was, in fact, really good and useful (I was one of the first 1000 users of the site). Back then you could't just contact anyone and "connections" actually meant something - to reach someone you needed to ask for a referral from someone who already was connected to that person - which meant that both people had agreed to connect (you couldn't just "follow" someone)
it was slower but meant that people only passed on reasonable requests
@thomas_klopf @LockEx it also meant that over time as you referred people to someone, you also reconnected with each other and kept your connections up-to-date. It was also harder for someone on that early site to put up a fake profile (while now I can't trust that anyone on LinkedIn really is who they claim to be) especially since most people had ways to connect with each other outside of the site (if they truly knew each other)
But then people started gamifying the # of connections
bignoseHe's right. I have no commitment to working more to help Reid Hoffman win.
Jeff Zugale - Z Factory@LockEx capitalist pig = tasty bacon š„
Kaito@jeffzugale @LockEx can we eat the rich now
Em 
Brassica-boy now in #F9CBD3@LockEx
To everyone else: have a nice weekend off work.

Sieva š“ššļøš¹@LockEx I'm committed to cooperating with my comrades and keeping us healthy and happy 
The asshole can keep his capitalist wars with winning and losing to himself.

š š@LockEx Note he said this is for startups. setting up a business is not for the faint of heart. That said if an employer talks about their startup environment, at least double your normal rate and ignore any stock option BS.
Roy #EatTheRich Pardee šŗšø@LockEx TIL that Reid Hoffman and Reid Hastings are not the same entity, and neither one is a law firm.
punIssuer@LockEx FWIW, this seems to be targeted at founders, i.E., the only ones working there that actually might become rich
Randall Lee@LockEx A person that thinks winning happens at a job is a god damn lunatic
I am Jack's Lost 404I created a social media site exclusively for pro-capitalist sociopaths guised as a way to help their minions get hired, AMA... 
The Noid You Should Avoid@LockEx If only I were still on LinkedIn so I could leave it again.
Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@LockEx Would it be crude to point out that he seems to have a bad calorie intake to exercise balance?
Yora@LockEx But we're getting so tired of all the winning.
youknowthatonepersonwithaface@LockEx For context, he was talking about founders starting up a company and "what it takes."
That said, I still don't trust this attitude in general. I like working long hours making pedals (or rather, I just like something to occupy my time), but I never got into it to be successful, I got into it to make stuff because loud noises are fun. Anyone who hangs their hat on the idea sacrifice of everything is the only means to be successful is the first person to sacrifice employees, and shortly after, patrons for that continued "success."
SufferForMe ši'm committed to winning a good work-life balance...

Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC@LockEx Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
Overdrawn at the Gravitas BankFunny. I never wanted work-life balance much, preferring work that kind-of consumed me, not because I was 'committed to winning' which is asinineā'[ā¦]the race is not to the swift,nor the battle to the strong,nor yet bread to the wise,[ā¦],nor yet favour to men of skill;but time and chance happeneth to them all.'ābut because I wanted to spend mine only life doing what seemed worth doing, and that seemed the best I could do.
ā¦but there should be other ways to live, for those as want them.
underflo@LockEx Says the guy who visited Epstein Island
CaveDave@LockEx that's why us in Western Europe suck so much. Us with our workers rights and work-life balance. We're just hate winning!
Eric Lawton
Nathan A. Stine@LockEx OK, I'm not committed to "winning." Now what?
Johnno@LockEx Do you know anyone who has successfully closed down their LinkedIn account? They seem to stick like velcro.
ReallyCanadianFly@LockEx "not committed to winning for him." There, fixed it.
theehermitĀ©ļø@LockEx Oh god that is cringy. He founded a hell hole site.
@LockEx
Clearly he does not understand what an enjoyable life is about. Or how to enjoy one.

@LockEx I really hate this fucking timeline. How brainwashed are we as a society that there are people who genuinely think like this?
JohnnieMac@LockEx Is ādorkā still in use?
revphil@LockEx "please continue your work-life imbalance, thank you"
@LockEx if anyone needs balancing it is him. With his diet.
Jonathan@LockEx LinkedIn is such garbage
Nicole ParsonsReminder that all that work that people do (unpaid overtime, working on vacations, working weekends etc)
That is value added to billionaire wealth.
The same wealth that is frying the planet and ending democracy.
Ambition that doesn't directly benefit you is a waste of precious life span.
rewarp@LockEx Yeah it's a red flag. I raise it with my black flag of anarchy.
I quit LinkedIn even before I started grad school more than a decade ago. Never relied on it. Never saw the need for it.

StarkRG@LockEx Winning what? What's the goal? Making some rich dipshit a lot of money while working yourself to an early grave? He's right, I'm not at all committed to winning that particular prize, in fact, I don't even want to compete for that prize.

Jnaš@LockEx they do talk bollocks, don't they. Surely 24/7 work is slavery?
HaroWell, he's absolutely right. At least in his frame of mind of what 'success' means.
If your definition on success is that you control a hive of mindless corporate drones that work from at least 9 to 9 and that sure are greatful for the opportunity to sleep at home, sacificing everything for the almighty money god.
That's not my definition though and I try not to kinkshame.
But I did, didn't I. Sorry.
not a martian, honest@LockEx I am committed to winning. But my win condition is having a good work-life-balance.
