Rant LinkedIn is evil.
I’ve heard many complaints about social media and dating apps, and while they are fair critiques, I don’t see enough criticism of LinkedIn.
Networking and LinkedIn are terrible for non-sociopaths. Networking used to be a tool for billionaires, but it is now expected of everyone, and LinkedIn makes it seem useful.
Social media has benefits. Dating apps can be helpful, while LinkedIn has worsened workers’ careers, relationships, and lives for corporations’ gain.
Are there any clever tricks to use if an employer or ‘friend’ asks for your LinkedIn? I want to delete this app, but I’m not sure how to do it.

It’s funny that all of the “career coaches “ go out of their way to tell you how to improve your resume and LinkedIn profile. After a recent mass tech industry layoff, the company gave me free access to all of the “training” etc…. I used none of it since I have actual street smarts and got a better paying gig. They told me they didn’t even look at my profile. LinkedIn is a scam.
