LinkedIn is probably the closest thing we have to a parallel universe,

where all HRs hand out more salary to candidates than they asked for,

where 100% of people struggle in the beginning get their big break and turn their business into a multi-billion dollar company,

where there is no such thing as office politics, every employee is always happy to be a part of the organization.

where each team identifies themselves as a "family".

#ugh

I left linkedin when they started pushing "all white people are racists" racism. They are a shithole.

Metaverse is on its way though

Don't forget, if you don't work overtime for free, the CEO will cry.

My micromanager brags about being a “Twitter and LinkedIn influencer”

Like, no joke. She bragged about it during standup twice in the past month and a half.

I only ever use it to get recruiters on my ass just in case I need to get another job. I do not know why anyone would bother wasting their time in there otherwise.

I'm getting fed up of LinkedIn too. Recently I saw a post where someone said that he was honored to be part of the school game.

He paid for the ticket to see the game.

@ostream What CTO doesn’t have a bottle of single malt hidden in the server room? Certainly none worth their salt.

Linkedln where you get the inferiority complex that you are the least skillful person. If somebody passes a driving license test he'll brag like this on LinkedIn

"I am honoured and thrilled to announce that I have been selected among the top 5 applicants who participated in professional and the most respected exam which evaluates the skills and ability to operate fuel based light vehicles. I cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds, and i cannot express my appreciation to the ministry of transportation, Google, NASA, my neighbors who supported me during this difficult journey. I would also like to thank my mother's husband i.e my father, without whom I won't have been able to get the key of the vehicle."

@Root we need a special island to dump these asshole influencers

@TeachMeCode As long as said island has a volcano on it 😉

@ostream Jan Mayen: hold my beer.

@ostream more like an island in the middle of the North Atlantic where they will live off seal fat and build huts with deer skin. It’s not a bad life but to them it would be from an LA mansion to the netherworlds lol

@ostream

@Root nah thats too generous. She needs her own special island where she’s captured by a tribe and forced to live on lizard blood

"family"

biggest god damn red flag you can encounter.

Any company that at any point uses this word, don't walk. Run for the door.
