Is it just me that I find such longform posts on LinkedIn boring af. I usually skip such posts. Why do people even bother writing stories here.

These super long posts on LinkedIn.- Grapevine

Everywhere on LinkedIn posts, people add a line break after every single sentence. 

Like this.

Like this.

Also this. 

Why do they type like this? Can't they write it as a paragraph like we do on blogs? Forgive me for being dramatic but it really feels annoying to read these posts. Few of the posts are genuinely informative and it makes it difficult to read. 

Is there any reason behind writing like this?
For example, this gentleman wrote a decent piece of content but why did he have to add line breaks after every single sentence? Why not write it as a paragraph?

Is it just mine or is everyone’s LinkedIn blowing up with absolute crap. Like the most basic thing people are posting and making it sound like they discovered something huge or they’ve found some crazy insights. 

Everyone is trying to build their own LinkedIn brand and it’s just become frustrating. 

A lot of recruiters/founders still put out hiring posts on LinkedIn 

Some funny posts - 

- All founders acting like they’ve achieved something huge by being on the Forbes/times now/etc 40 under 40 list 
- Today someone posted about the business model of Shyamji Chole Bhature 
- People copy pasting the same fake stories

I have been watching LinkedIn for a while and recently it feels all the comments seems and feels like ppl trying to present themselves and glorifying the post, like chatufying, those making meaningful comments are discarded or ignored completely. 

I feel LinkedIn has failed as a platform, ppl who can game the platform get visibility rest who are good and genuine don’t get calls or visibility at all.

This might be a reason why everyone is trying to game the platform rather then learning and having skills

Why does every comment in LinkedIn feels like

People are just writing random posts just for the sake of it. This idea of LinkedIn Influencers is so bullshit.

Also , this is not directed towards a single individual but to the whole community.

Everything wrong with LinkedIn.

Engagement profiteering and sympathy farming off someone's passing away is just pathetic and shameful.

They will stoop to any level if it gets them a few hundred likes and increases conversion to their actual business.

Stop gathering sympathy using the poor fellow please!

WTF is wrong with these LinkedIn influencers

Imagine getting laid off and being subjected to a free financial planning lesson regurgitated over multiple clout-chasing accounts.
If they really care enough, why not use that clout to refer folks in need of jobs?

I keep seeing these viral posts with a selfie or some copy paste article, feels a time waste at times. Has anyone else faced similar?

What to post on LinkedIn which doesn't get tagged as Cringe?

I noticed a trend on LinkedIn that people use the layoffs as an excuse to preach others that if you constantly upskill and learn then you will be safe from layoffs. 

To any freshers who believe in this crap listen this - The folks who got laid off from companies are not in any way underskilled. I've seen my colleagues get laid off at my previous company who were extremely talented and responsible for building products from scratch. 

These companies layoff people randomly and not skill based. They choose the people who are drawing more salary (often the most skilled) and fire them in the name of cost cutting. So, how does upskilling will help this situation?

Note that, the current tech market is unstable and will continue to be for next few years. Upskilling may get you up the corporate ladder but it won't in anyway save you from impending layoffs. The so-called influencers preaching this should STOP.

NOTICE this post, how this guy conveniently skipped mentioning Google layoffs in the list, since he currently works ar Google 😆

People who lecure to upskill to prevent layoffs need to stop 🛑

I swear dude, the subtle condescension is so annoying. "Don't be in your comfort zone" and shit - as if (most) people aren't already trying their best to stay up to date and keep their skills sharp. Sounds like classic victim blaming, if you ask me.

Most of the people just keep adding so many irrelevant pictures to their posts!! I mean what do they get out of it. If it’s anything to do with regards to the picture, I understand. Other than that, it has become a trend to add photos to the posts. They say they will have greater reach and greater views. It’s so annoying. I don’t understand the difference between Instagram and LinkedIn. Most of the time I feel Instagram is better than LinkedIn. All these so called entrepreneurs have also started doing this shit and feels 😖😣

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Ranting.  Just read a post about how a super-human struggled with the interviews and finally got an offer from Bigtech. That super-human wrote a whole damn essay on it and received 30000 likes. I knew it would upset me if I read the whole thing but they did it anyway. Now, I’m depressed. I have removed all 14 of my connections who liked and commented on this post. Any other workaround to cure my depression?

Why do female founders and other budding LinkedIn female influencers post their personal pictures(gym photos, selfies, random photos of themselves) on LinkedIn? It’s a professional platform for fucks sake. 

You don’t post these photos on Leap Club but LinkedIn is okay because validation. 

And nobody calls them out. Men are lost in simp behaviour and others ignore them.
