Because it’s not fool proof.  
 At least that’s what I feel. There are so many ways people can still easily find out.  
 Hence I think it does makes sense to not have give false hope.

It is such a basic feature, where I don't want to let my company people know that I'm working outside of the company or looking for a job or post something around it. Why would I want my company folks to know about my side hustle?

Why doesn't LinkedIn have the option to exclude current company people?

Why doesn't LinkedIn have the option to exclude current company people?- Grapevine

I see LinkedIn as the generic platform for technical personels. Presence on LinkedIn guarantees presence on other niche platforms but not viceversa

1. Probably a old person, as for them digital presence doesn't matter
2. Have not been actively looking for opportunities in past 2+ years
3. Probably not familiar with latest industry trends
4. Isn't aware about the bhaiya/ didi influenza, so also making him/her unaware of the current industry hiring patterns

Things you can assume about someone, whos doesn't have a LinkedIn presence:

Software Developer

Got a mail from my manager to stop using LinkedIn anywhere at work. Even though we can use LinkedIn for purposes other than searching for different jobs, but these people are getting too insecure because people are leaving left right and center. 

What are your guys thoughts?

Using LinkedIn at work

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

My Experience as Fresher with Workplace Harassment and Forced Resignation at Accenture

Is it okay to mark yourself open to work on linkedin while you are connected to most of your company colleagues. Its visible to everyone and eventually the news will spread  in your team team that certain person is planning to move out.
I might even affect their behavior towards you.

Will this fly with the audience or will it change X (Twitter) into another hyper competitive platform just like LinkedIn?

Hi guys

One of the companies I worked with previously didn't  pay me for 2 months.
Obviously, I have sent a notice and intent to take legal action.

They have been getting paid media attention for a bit now. Even though I didn't intent to post anything publicly, I received a notification from LinkedIn informing me that they have disputed my position with them. Really low move.

Now I'm pissed.

I just want to know if I make a public post against them, will it affect me negatively in terms of public perception or future aspects?

I know I'm in the legal clear and the company is a very new startup and I'm not really worried about "burning bridges". My only concern is would a it potentially put off clients in the future?

Would appreciate some industry veterans weighing in!

What are some potentially adverse consequences of publicly calling out a former "employer"?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Recently I have joined a seemingly good company. Since a while, I have witnessed a surge of linkedin request and I have accepted all of them, I even referred everyone who asked, gave them tips on their resume also and responded properly to everyone's query.
However, lately I have witnessed that many linkedin connections are sort of from less known companies or freshers. The thing is even I want to move ahead further and thus want to connect with people at a better position than me, but as recently many of my connections have been fresher or from lesser known companies thus my mutual connections and suggestion have been also like same.
I have been thinking of removing some of my recent connections, basically those who just sent request and since then have not pinged related to anything referral etc. I am unable to decide if I am a ad person for doing so.
Basically I would be myself doing what they have done, so I am feeling a bit guilty if I do so, but on the other hand I also think that I have not rejected anyone's request till now and even I future won't do so, I just don't want to fill my connection with people who are just randomly sending request to everyone.

Please help me..
