How does sharing my thoughts and strategies with people I am competing for jobs with give me an edge over them?
(I actually do advise my peers all the time but I want to know why these idiots think that)
Highly paid bullshit jobs are all about social perception in networks.
The point is to post something that makes it appear as if you’re already ahead of the game, and to use as many buzz words as possible so that you will appear in searches, or someone remembers you knowing something about those words.
It does not matter if the “strategy” makes any sense at all. It’s not like anyone reads it, or that anyone tries it out, or even if you know anything about it. All these posts with motivational and strategic wisdom are just “tags” for people trying to sell themselves.
The people involved in those games rely on each other to support this self-induced value. It’s like “fake it till you make it”, with the twist that they never actually do anything. When they fail, they’ll hopefully have enough other people involved, so that they can only fail upwards.
If I could not post on LinkedIn more strongly I would. Maybe I should start hacking into accounts to delete their posts
My crew are the most sought after talent in our little niche of the tech world. To my knowledge, not a single one of us posts on LinkedIn. The people that actually do the work don’t have time for bullshit and probably have multiple open offers to join other orgs at all times.
Well, at least I have a spine and refuse to go with the flow. No Facebook, LinkedIn, Xitter or whatever that sewer is called these days and I’m just fine with that. Just a bit of Lemmy for some discussions and memes, but fuck having to share everything you do.
They should check LinkedIn before asking persons to come in for interviews if that’s their requirement. Save everyone some time
That sounds entirely too efficient for middle management.
But then they wouldn’t get a story to post about on LinkedIn.
Are these satire?
Top one is, bottom one not sure
“if he isn’t posting about how hard he’s working, is he even working at all?” is obviously satire
The entire response is satire
6 days a week… Fuck this company, and fuck this idiot.
