That senior engineer dodged a bullet.
Top post is satirical, mocking the bottom one
In defense of the lady, it was a marketing position, the guy parody example is an engineer, they’re not the same.
They should check LinkedIn before asking persons to come in for interviews if that’s their requirement. Save everyone some time
That sounds entirely too efficient for middle management.
I’ve never had a LinkedIn and I deleted my Facebook and Instagram years ago. I actually think it’s why I can’t get a new job in my field. I’m currently employed, get good feedback from my supervisors and peers, have tons of experience, and have good working relationships with the people I deal with outside my company, but most networking in my field is all done on social media and most jobs are posted on Facebook. I’ve been looking for a new job for months and have applied at multiple places and followed up and heard crickets, and yet I know people with the same exact job who were fired for cause and had a job the next week. The only job openings I’ve even found are places that coworkers with social media pointed me to, because they saw posts that the companies are hiring. I’m starting to wonder if companies are looking me up on social media, not finding me, and throwing me in the reject pile. The last thing I want to do is rejoin the metaverse, but I’m starting to think I’m wrecking my career by avoiding it. It’s so frustrating.
I have never posted anything on my LinkedIn account, I set up the account years ago when I believed it it would actually be beneficial, quickly realised it wouldn’t be, and abandoned it.
I get recruiters chasing me all the time, everyone in the industry does.
That’s not to say there are necessarily a lot of jobs, there may be, but the recruiters are so bad at their jobs that it’s hard to tell. They’re also trying to get me to move to another continent all the time. Why can’t Saudi Arabia just use their own people, I don’t get it.
…and then when you get there, they take your ID and passport. So odd. /s
I’m reasonably confident Saudi Arabia is not trying to human traffic 30+ software developers.
You, my friend, are welcome to roll those bones.
If I could not post on LinkedIn more strongly I would. Maybe I should start hacking into accounts to delete their posts
Half these posts are just AI bots shouting nonsense at each other.
The other half are worse: people shouting nonsense at each other.
Not even whimsical nonsense, just nonsense about the maximally efficient way to exchange your labor and/or morality for the idea of financial security.
