Have you ever read a LinkedIn post and NOT wanted to roll your eyes?
These posts can range from being utterly tone-deaf to faux motivational to wildly performative. Gone are the days when LinkedIn was a social media platform used to democratize pure networking and job opportunities. Now, it's just like every other social media app except everyone is playing at the idea of working hard. But they're not because they're focused on writing a post that will get them lots of likes and comments. That's not professional networking. That might as well be Instagram or TikTok.
These posts were shared on Reddit's r/LinkedInLunatics subreddit. For more content like this, check out this story, where an employee learned his Glassdoor review became a problem for his former company's hiring process.
