I took a picture of my wife for my her profile on my phone, and it ended up on a profile they created for her. She has no idea what LinkedIn is, but she's got a profile and a picture.
I wanted to like them, but they are simply douchebags. They give zero thought to how their customer would want to be treated and they consume your entire life.
I can't wait to see them at a trade show or get an email about the class action someone is filing soon.
And if you're from LinkedIn and reading this.. Quit now and save your soul. Your employer makes the Internet a less valuable tool by degrading it into some mega corporate data fleecing machine.
Have a good week....! ;)
Speaking for all rational people who expect a "social media" website to stay in their lane.
--As for the rest, it is mine. To everyone who feels this way, and has *some* influence: Please tell your HR people this as well. I've been searching for a job for months, and getting a LinkedIn account is 'highly recommended' by most job agencies, and outright *required* for application to some companies. Complaining here is complaining to the choir. Talk to the people who think it's a useful tool and are requiring other people to use it, against their own better judgment. Daniel T.
