Welcome to NEW LinkedIn, where professionals go to get distracted - Because nothing says "professional networking" like knowing that out of my 30K connections, 48 have played Queens in the last hour. Exactly the vital information I needed today. And it's so comforting to know my boss not only sucks at setting my KPIs but also sucks at LUDO (oh wait.. they dont have LUDO, but you get the point). Say Yes to LinkedIn Games : because what better way to showcase your professional skills than competing in virtual board games.

I see feeds getting converted to scoreboard and people bragging scoring new highs every day🥲

Just curious how LinkedIn’s internal staff would be going through this :)) Bro if you know it’s annoying why the hell it’s still live??
