LI is probably the worst social media site in general. You can't block anyone and you can't search it without joining and letting people know who looked at their profile. I know it's supposed to be arbitrary and thus "fair," but I'd rather be in charge of my own privacy thanks.
I don't have LinkedIn or Facebook or TikTok. I work for 1 company for 5 years now and if would be in need of changing my job and the potential new employer would judge me on the lack of social media posts then I would rather not waste my time to get involved with such company.
What happens when these LinkedIn NPCs are soon to be replaced by AIs? I was ‘restricted’ from LinkedIn for posting an honest response for advising caution on the ‘shots’ in Dec 2021, I haven’t tried to recover my account and won’t do so, I’ll find jobs the old fashioned way, the NPCs can have their self made purgatory.
My ex got married out of the blue because he got some random chick pregnant who happens to posts on Liked-In unironically and ngl I felt immense joy when I saw her post about her boss randomly calling her at 1 o’clock in the morning to “congratulate her on how hard she works at her costumer service job”. Needles to say I believe this shot gun wedding is not going to end very well.
I felt the same way creating my account. It's just . . . stupid. I don't post but my brother does and the last time we talked about LinkedIn I criticized it and he got offended . . . that's when I realized he's a corporate douchebag.
I never login to that website.. It's just pure cancer to see people thanking everyone for being fired or thank people for getting the drivers license. xD

@@agamersinsanity I recently saw my former boss using his father's death to praise the company he works for, because they "put family first" LOL. Which literally just means they will give you a day off when someone close to you dies, not to mention that it's only for the upper management.
The saddest thing on Linkedin isn't that 90% of it's job postings being fake/scams. It's the people that just got fired but make these large posts thanking their employer for firing them.
Broo the guys on linkedin writing 2 page essays about how theyre glad on getting rejected from unis 😭😭. Like no you're not u were waiting to write a linkedin post after u got in xdd
The purpose of these posts is to share you’re open to work. But if you say you just got fired, it will look bad, it’s like saying “I want this job because I need to pay my bills” in an interview. That’s why people package their message in corporate bullshit.
It’s really scary that LinkedIn is considered necessary for many jobs. Putting your job where you spend 8 hours a day online should be considered a safety risk. Remember when putting personal info online was considered absolutely bad? Now people think it’s weird if you don’t make your entire employment history public data. As someone who has had stalkers in the past, this is a nightmare.
I had an interviewer ask me to make an LinkedIn account and it’s weird because you have my fuckin resume in your hand, but I said I was stalked within that year(and moved towns because of it)and would rather not make an account and that was enough for me not to be considered further. Let people put their home addresses and phone numbers for everyone to see, no thanks.
I recall the episode from last December. The platform is a gift that keeps on giving and they can make a monthly episode about the LinkedIn cyclejerk (or an episode per quarter in the spirit of their grind)
@@Jizzlewobbwtfcus Yeah don’t do that, that’s terrible advice. I got my last two jobs through LinkedIn. Whether you like LinkedIn or not, it’s a useful tool.
The ONLY reason I have a Linkedin account is to apply for jobs. I’ll tell you, applying and applying and applying is starting to become more soul draining by the day.
The only thing you can look forward to is being midcareer and telling 90% of recruiters to F off because you already know the job they're offering sucks.
@@aluisious I'm lucky if that even happens to me. I'm not that active on my account, so I guess when people see that, they think that I am someone who does not care that much, like this video shows. That is not true, and it's frustrating.
@@Some_Average_Joe I abandoned it for a part-time job and following my dreams as a music producer. Going well so far! Before that, I was "laid off" (fired) multiple times a year. Software Engineering is an exhausting and worthless career. You are the ultimate cog in a machine waiting to replace you as soon as you burn out.
I hate LinkedIn with a passion. It's so fake, and full of people promoting their exaggerated self-worth and regurgitating popular virtues, not even their own. Sadly it's become a necessary evil for getting work, especially as a contractor in the technical space.
Excellent video. "You weren't fired, you were PROMOTED to entrepreneur!" is a stellar example of a long con: "Now we can focus on helping her grow her business full-time!" which means weeks/months of 'consultations' at exorbitant fees with fuck-all results for the client. Dating sites aren't the only places now that do catfishing.
Websites and individuals that give career advice also never talk about jobs as if they are a matter of survival- it's always framed as this thing you do to feel self-actualized but if it takes a while for your business to get off the ground or there's some rough patches it's ok, you can fall back on your trust fund & just live simply. Anyone discouraging you is merely a jealous hater, not someone who's reminding you that you need to pay bills. Whereas if you lose a job and don't have a bunch of $$ then it's your fault & you were irresponsible because you should always have multiple income streams. Which is ideal, I agree I don't trust any one job & would like back up options.
@@minngael "Toxic work environment? Terrible boss? JUST QUIT!!" -- Yeah that sort of "advice" is only given by people who don't actually need a job to pay their bills.
One of the biggest motivators for my switching careers to work in healthcare (besides making a decent living and helping people obviously) was the chance to never have to post on LinkedIn or attend another "networking event" again.
@FellowTraveler-tu1qv I agree 100%. At least it makes it easy when I talk to other people in the nursing department to point to these folks and say, "don't you think it would be better for healthcare workers to be in charge of healthcare facilities?"
I fell you. I am an EMT, soon to be Firefighter, and I could not imagine working in a corporate office. When I was in construction we did a remodel at the global HQ of a huge chemical company, and all the fake smiles and pretend niceties felt like I was in some kind of Orwellian dystopia. Didn't help that they had cameras everywhere watching the cubicles. These people also looked down on us blue collar workers, as if they were nobility or something. Working in an office just look's depressing, exhausting, and awful.
Another thing that freaks me out is the privacy. I'm not perfect and I have ruined some relationships in my career. I am practically leaving breadcrumbs for potential employers to dig around and find dirt by contacting mutual connections.
The first time I did it is when EVERYONE I knew was doing LinkedIn (around 2012ish). Then I found out a co-worker was cyberstalking me through LinkedIn. I was looking for teaching jobs while working as a janitor. I shut it down soon after. Went back to LinkedIn a yr ago just to have some way for them to search for me after I accidentally got flagged as a bot account by some employers (name's weird to spell & too unique). I just use it as an online resume w/ a bit of quirks & my photo. I just get notices saying someone's looking me up when I'd fill out a group of applications. Now I just have LinkedIn and federated block-chain SM sites (which employers don't find).
I have Linkedin, sadly. I'm a Developer, so it basically becomes mandatory. That said, I don't post, I barelyinteract, nothing. It probably hurts my career chances at getting better jobs, but I don't care. I just can't be like that. I am myself the work me, everyone knows I'm a bloody commie. When I see my colleagues and old friends posting about "How Happy they are!" or "About what they're doing", I just feel... sadness. It's amazing how we commodify ourselves to make a show in front of... everyone else that is commodifying themselves.
I don't think you actually need to participate in LinkedIn for it to work professionally. It's just a place for your mugshot and resume. Every now and then I get a call from a recruiter that I take, then I make more money. I wouldn't dare to write the garbage some people I know write on there.
@@aluisious That's essentially how I use Linkedin as well. My photo is even 6 years outdated, I don't really look like that anymore lmao. However, compared to what some of my friends get, I have very little engagement on my profile.
I don't want engagement on my profile. I can't eat engagement. I have a real job where I work with tools and fix stuff, no one gives a shit if I wrote some bootlicking crap that other bootlickers like@@SterbenCyrodill
This is why I'm so happy to do blue collar work. Working with tools and parts is way easier and way less irritating than to deal with corporate culture and all of it's bs.
I did 6 years in corporate America before changing my career to the trades. Best decision I ever made. I already had an idea about how bad corporate culture was but going into the trades has really helped me see just how toxic it is.
No other "social" network gives me more dread than linkedin, I refuse to log in again, may my password be lost and my profile erased from the face of the earth. That thing is cursed.
@@mynamejeff3545It's like smiling with a gun pointed at every employee's head the scary thing is that some people are in fact smiling because they WANT TO
Same. Using it was an absolutely bone shrivelling experience. I don't care if I'm missing out on anything, I am absolutely not built for capitalistic bullshitting.

That’s when I deleted it. The posts about a sisters death, family tragedies. Dressed up around them selling themselves or a good story to gain fame and show their sensitive side. It disgusts me. I’m furious and I shouldn’t want to tell someone who just lost a family member to shut the fuck up so much. I just need to use it for job stuff. I hope I stay in my current job a while, I can’t be subjected to that again.
I hibernate mine. When im happy in a job, I don't have to think about ot at all. When I need it for a job search, open it up again and use ot until it becomes unneeded again. Thankfully, LI isn't really valued in my line of work.
im trying to get into the film industry and I've had to rely on linkedin and facebook for connections and opportunities. I dream of the day when I'm at a point where I don't need these sites cos I've already got enough contact details to get steady work, and then I can delete my pages.
We need to have a serious discussion as a society about how pressured everyone is either professionally or personally to have a social media account. I don't like the feeling of being a hermit just because I don't want to give a private business a wiretap directly into my life.
The sheer amount of people on there trying to sell a white collar training/inspiration course and/or speaking engagements is depressing. There's this whole demographic of corporate types self-aware enough to want out of the rat race, but who lack a creative passion or artistic inclinations, so this is their only hope.
I don't think they "lack creative passion or artistic inclinations," I think they're useless. They have no real skills, and that's why they don't get anywhere. A large number of these "grindset" idiots should learn to do something that is actually necessary and useful for other people, but a lot of them pretend that's beneath them because they're lazy.
"There's this whole demographic of corporate types self-aware enough to want out of the rat race" I mean, that's how you win at capitalism, no? By not having to actively participate in it any longer. That's why everyone and their mother dreams about "passive income".
Frankly, I don't believe anyone on social media who hasn't made success outside of it. And those type do get the most traction on social media for that very reason. Take Elon Musk as an example. Twitter has been very useful for him AFTER already being successful in business outside social media. None of this is surprising. Even before social media Advertising companies were paid fortunes by defunct products. People have been trying to build social proof without results for as long as business and trade has existed. Yet, real-world results are still (and have always been) seen as the best social-proof. My advice: Actually have a successful business with DIRECT sales, not social media marketing. THEN talk about it on social media. Actually write a well researched book, get real industry experts/stakeholders (if nonfiction) or enough dedicated readers (if nonfiction) who are willing to back it. THEN talk about it on social media. Or share WHILE you're doing this. People will say "ah, so the elitists determine people's fate?!" Well, I hate to say it but the world does work this way. But again, just getting real-world stakeholders to back you puts you ahead of the game now. Note: Even this channel doesn't do this. Complaining about "thought leaders" on LinkedIn when content creators on Twitter, UA-cam, etc., don't have useful real-world results themselves.
Throughout my 20's I was a touring musician half the year and then the other half I helmed a music store. Over the last few years I got into tech sales because of the paycheck and the work from home balance. Coming from a lower class background and doing actual work in restaurants and retail stores it was a legitimate culture shock to be exposed to this NPC LinkedIn hell. Being that I need to network for my role I'm on LinkedIn every business day and you hit it all perfectly. It's bizarre, it's plastic and I hate it lol.
We were STRONGLY encouraged to create and maintain a LinkedIn account at my engineering school for networking, and so I did. Lo and behold, the bullshit was so concentrated you could strain it clean out of the air. I deleted my account after some time and never looked back. Some may say that it will hamper me and my career (I'm starting out in software engineering), but I really don't care. There are other and better ways in my view, such as maintaining a personal website and networking through projects, and life is just too short to waste over that crap.
We used to have more prolific class solidarity but rugged individualism and regeanomics hindered Americans ability for class consciousness from nurses to ups workers
@@modalinterchange8359 Respectfully, that is not the cause. Yes, it is a key event, but not the cause. The cause is not an economic policy. It's not a political party. It's not capitalism. It's not Communism. The actual root cause is the same as it has always been: small groups of power-hungry assholes who are hell-bent on gaining as much power and influence as possible because they are incapable of feeling purpose or love outside of the acquisition of resources and through dominating everyone around them. I'm not offering a solution. I hope you think of one though.
@@Jizzlewobbwtfcusbasically it's like a giant to do list for developers. That's where they get their work. Eg "create a button to play videos on UA-cam" would have been a jira ticket for a UA-cam software developer to implement in the past.
Honestly, why call them "jiras"? They're tickets, feature requests, whatever. But never I'll never call them "jiras." It so incredibly denigrates the work from something that helps an end user to just some box to tick in a glorified excel sheet. Language drives thought. Referring to my work as the administrative update in the tracking software sounds terrifying to me.
I have LinkedIn but got a job through a job fair at USPS. It’s not the job I was looking for, but it helps and I am so shocked at the lack of micromanaging, even during this busy time. It’s a stressful job but during training they weren’t lying or embellishing anything. And what a union- they do not play. Do I still wanna be a graphic designer? Hell yea. But I just graduated and LinkedIn is not the place to go. I will make my mark in due time, but not through LinkedIn
Yeah find a job that at least pays for the bills and during that time try to find your dream job. Although make sure you are not being taken advantaged.
That’s true. Chinese food in England sux compared to the Chinese food in Australia! Although their Indian food is superior to ours. Which seems really unfair, they don’t deserve such good Indian food. But all Chinese and south east Asia food in Oz is far better, so I guess it balances. Except for the whole what Britain did to India part, which is why I say they don’t deserve good Indian food. They gave China opium and took a few resources. They gave India cricket and talk all their resources.
@@mrjades4764 you are Brits my friend, desert-Brits. The Canadians are snow-Brits, and the Kiwis? Well I’m not quite sure what they are, their Island is basically Wales 2.0.
Being unemployed sucked. Finding a new job was a big relief, but not as much as deleting my Linkedin profile and never having to look at that nightmarish social media hellscape ever again. It was not at all responsible for finding my new job, but it did profoundly annoy me for a long time. I would just like to browse job listings thanks, not fantasize about an asteroid wiping out the planet.
At my last job (private consulting), towards the end, we were REQUIRED to join LinkedIn, so prospective customers could see how vibrant and vital and engaged all of us remaining employees were.
At my last job they wanted to make it a requirement too. They even went a step further wanting me to make content for LinkedIn posts on top of the workload I already had on my plate which was supposed to be done by three people. Handing in my resignation letter was so sweet.
Whoof. I never had to do that, just the occasional LinkedIn Training thing so I could post a Completion Certificate. (Also, yeah, leaving there was kind of great). @@taridean
I wonder what the consultancy industry's behind-the-scenes relationship with LinkedIn is. Seems like a related corporate cancer. Or barnacles. Fuck those people are terrible.
I was recently layed off and in my experience it’s required way more these days than when I was applying 6 years ago. Requiring your linkedin when applying is THE red flag - they are looking for a bot and you are walking into the twilight zone. That site never sat right with me in college lmao
Sincerely, thank you VERY MUCH for this :). I have never quite been able to put my frustration and disdain for LinkedIn and many of its user into words. Watching your video has been a form of therapy for me. Cheers.
this made me so proud to be able to live like what some call lumpem, in this system i hope to have the strength to live by the words " i rather die than work" and lived long and joy. I'm scared of how the corporate model rewires how someone imagines and thinks
One should still be contributing to society. Got get a public service job. Volunteer. Be a part of your community if you arent already. Well done on not selling yourself for someone’s profit though.
@@Emdiggydog But then what does that really mean? What constitutes a "contribution?" What, specifically, does "society" mean in this context? Who gets to decide how to define those terms? Who gets to decide who is "contributing" and who is not? Are there exceptions? Who decides the exceptions? What happens to people who are categorized as "not contributing?" Does "society" deserve this "contribution." Can/should this "contribution" be compelled? I think we should be careful with this line of thinking. It can be (and far too commonly is) used to justify some pretty awful shit. I'm definitely not saying you _are_ advocating for anything shitty, just to be clear, but I've seen the idea of "contributing to society" wielded as a weapon against folks like the homeless and the disabled so often that it's tough not to reflexively hear alarm bells going off in my head every time I read/hear that phrase.
@@Emdiggydog Speaking as a social worker, do you honestly believe it's any different in the social sector? There's tons of fake job postings for positions that are never filled or filled through nepotism, HR service algos mercilessly filter you out by age or whatever else you left in your CV because you didn't want to lie about it, and you're treated as basically scum for not subscribing to a "one-person-entrepreneurial" mindset as a part-time employee. There is nowhere to run to. The neoliberal mode of capitalism has poisoned everything.
I'm a web developer so linkedin is literally mandatory T_T I just roleplay and showcase the things im genuinely passionate about with my work and it makes it much less frustrating
The word "career" gives me a rash. To imagine that you exist to create a "career" for yourself, as in, live to work, or make your work your life. It's such an insane concept.
Social media is already cancer a lot of the time, so who would have guessed that making an entire social media centered on corporate stuff would be a terrible idea, amirite?
I dont mind having a job and actually doing work, what ive noticed is everything in between that is cringe. So the only solution is to be remote and to dissociate yourself and become a real cog in the machine. Just a survival tactic honestly, i cant stand the political correctness and fakery of the corporate world.
This is me right now, I work hybrid and I go in on Monday. Every time I go into office I get all these micro aggressions, unnecessary small talk and flossing of privilege( ski trips, family owns boats in cape cod) awkward forced social interaction. I’ve always been nice but these people make me question if I should continue lol.
Top tier content comrade. I'm a cyber analyst and have a cuck corporate job so I have to have a LinkedIn like other ppl but great description of the denizens that occupy that space.
I deleted my Linkedin account about six years ago. Never got a single thing out of it. A total and complete waste of time.I had no idea about the level of douchebaggery and dickheadedness on their platform. That was entertaining to hear about. Glad I dodged that bullet by a time zone or so.
dude this one cut deep. My job titles was changed last year from Field Service Engineer to ..... Technical Joy Ambassador. Yugopnik, please.....put me out of my misery!
Changed by who, your company? Get a real FSE job, sounds like you're somewhere that trades in BS. It's never been easier. If you can hold a screwdriver without putting your eye out for 15 minutes you get $90k a year. If you can avoid putting out someone else's eye for another 15 minutes, over $100k.
I recently updated mine after many years of not using it. I forgot how bad it is - it's the biggest echo chamber of people smelling their own excrement you'll ever have the misfortune to see.
One part of Linkedin that I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE which you didn't talk about in the video is Company PR Social media posts. Companies posting videos and pictures of how "HAPPY" and "FUN" it is to work there by sharing stories and videos of their activites, small events or doing social media trends. That shit just looks so fake, so forced. Living in a muslim country, they gave each employees gift baskets filled with snacks and sweets on Eid. I was like huh that's so nice..only for the HR team to gather up everyone to take a picture with the baskets in their hands to post on LinkedIn. I really didn't wanted to do this but NO wasn't an option. I was SOO pissed at them, cos these mfs made us work like dogs and then they pretend to care just to get online points. Hate LinkedIn with a burning passion.
LinkedIn can be so fake. It’s too extreme. You can just tell everyone is trying to put on big smiles and throw out positivity any chance they can while selling themselves in the best light possible but when you meet the same people in actual interviews or in the work field it’s so dry, casual, and boring. It’s code switching set to maximum.
11:54 I know it's morbid and a reply like that wouldn't survive LinkedIn algos/mods for more than a fraction of a second, but someone should have told that guy that his wife didn't die, he got *promoted to self-sufficient bachelor*! He got a free bachelor's degree y'all!! Reason to celebrate, wipe away those boy tears and embrace your -dead wife- new station in life!
I had to learn how to use Linkedin as part of my anthropology capstone class. The amount of hand-wringing and essentially stretching the truth in order to maybe, JUST MAYBE, get the chance just to never get a response.
I guess I should be happy this sort of shit didn't exist when I went to school, because I'd go apoplectic if a professor started talking about LinkedIn in an anthropology class.
After decades in the corporate world I'd like to say thanks for this video. I feel less crazy and guilty about wearing the mask. Still hate that I have to do it and yes, this is hell, but at least I know I'm not alone.
I have linkedin just as a formality as my job field demands it. I have zero patience for that corporate cesspool. What's even worse are the influencers with their phony speech about "doing your best everyday" or "leadership is about this and that". Zero class conciousness, zero awareness of how they are being exploited for profit without even getting crumbs in return. I Can't feel sorry for people that worship their oppressor.
At 12:02 there's that guy that says job hopping every 1-2 years is a bad look and makes you less knowledgeable about your work. I remember that post. People in the LinkedIn comments immediately called him out because most of his LinkedIn experiences were for appointments that lasted less than 2 years lol It's like that other LinkedIn post from an HR recruiter saying that job hopping is bad, but also does job hopping as per her own LinkedIn resume.

I don't have LinkedIn or Facebook or TikTok. I work for 1 company for 5 years now and if would be in need of changing my job and the potential new employer would judge me on the lack of social media posts then I would rather not waste my time to get involved with such company.
What happens when these LinkedIn NPCs are soon to be replaced by AIs?
I was ‘restricted’ from LinkedIn for posting an honest response for advising caution on the ‘shots’ in Dec 2021, I haven’t tried to recover my account and won’t do so, I’ll find jobs the old fashioned way, the NPCs can have their self made purgatory.
Wait, what do you mean some people actually post on LinkedIn without needing to? I thought everyone was there to get a recruiter's attention!
My ex got married out of the blue because he got some random chick pregnant who happens to posts on Liked-In unironically and ngl I felt immense joy when I saw her post about her boss randomly calling her at 1 o’clock in the morning to “congratulate her on how hard she works at her costumer service job”. Needles to say I believe this shot gun wedding is not going to end very well.

Excellent 🤣🤣🤣
Filling out even a single section of my LinkedIn profile made me want to die, to become a regular poster you’ve gotta have sold your soul
I felt the same way creating my account. It's just . . . stupid. I don't post but my brother does and the last time we talked about LinkedIn I criticized it and he got offended . . . that's when I realized he's a corporate douchebag.
I never login to that website.. It's just pure cancer to see people thanking everyone for being fired or thank people for getting the drivers license. xD
We were created to pursue our own goals and dreams, not to serve companies.
"Allah said: “O son of Adam do not be afraid of any power or sovereignty. As long as my sovereignty remains and my sovereignty never ceases. O son of Adam do not fear tightened sustenance. As long as my storehouses are full and my storehouses are never empty. O son of Adam I created you to worship me, so don’t play. I have already set your share of sustenance, so don’t make yourself tired. I created you to worship so don’t play, and I guaranteed your sustenance so don’t make yourself tired. I swear by my glory and might, if you are content with what I have allocated for you, I will bring comfort [peace] to your heart and body and you will be praised by me. On the other hand, if you are not content with what I have allocated for you, I swear with my glory and might I will set the world loose on you, where you will run just like the animals run in the wild and you will still not get more than what I originally allocated for you! O son of Adam, I created the seven heavens and earth effortlessly, so would it trouble me to simply send a loaf of bread your way? O son of Adam, do not ask me of tomorrow’s sustenance, just like I have not asked you for tomorrow’s deeds. O son of Adam, I love you. So by my right over you, love me.”
@@agamersinsanity I recently saw my former boss using his father's death to praise the company he works for, because they "put family first" LOL. Which literally just means they will give you a day off when someone close to you dies, not to mention that it's only for the upper management.
The saddest thing on Linkedin isn't that 90% of it's job postings being fake/scams. It's the people that just got fired but make these large posts thanking their employer for firing them.
Fellating the boss who just shit-canned you is a proud LinkedIn tradition.

Broo the guys on linkedin writing 2 page essays about how theyre glad on getting rejected from unis 😭😭. Like no you're not u were waiting to write a linkedin post after u got in xdd
They don't even post salary or details like benefits, scope.
The purpose of these posts is to share you’re open to work. But if you say you just got fired, it will look bad, it’s like saying “I want this job because I need to pay my bills” in an interview. That’s why people package their message in corporate bullshit.
It’s really scary that LinkedIn is considered necessary for many jobs. Putting your job where you spend 8 hours a day online should be considered a safety risk. Remember when putting personal info online was considered absolutely bad? Now people think it’s weird if you don’t make your entire employment history public data. As someone who has had stalkers in the past, this is a nightmare.
Exactly. Osint is just the start. Get off social media now or at least go anonymous like me on yt.
wtf happened to internet safety 😭😭😭
I had an interviewer ask me to make an LinkedIn account and it’s weird because you have my fuckin resume in your hand, but I said I was stalked within that year(and moved towns because of it)and would rather not make an account and that was enough for me not to be considered further. Let people put their home addresses and phone numbers for everyone to see, no thanks.
The current LinkedIn meta is writing a 1-page essay thanking your former employer for laying you off.

The ONLY reason I have a Linkedin account is to apply for jobs. I’ll tell you, applying and applying and applying is starting to become more soul draining by the day.

Software Engineering is an exhausting and worthless career. You are the ultimate cog in a machine waiting to replace you as soon as you burn out.
Use indeed.
I hate LinkedIn with a passion. It's so fake, and full of people promoting their exaggerated self-worth and regurgitating popular virtues, not even their own. Sadly it's become a necessary evil for getting work, especially as a contractor in the technical space.
Isn't all social media full of people being fake and exaggerating themselves tho?
Excellent video. "You weren't fired, you were PROMOTED to entrepreneur!" is a stellar example of a long con: "Now we can focus on helping her grow her business full-time!" which means weeks/months of 'consultations' at exorbitant fees with fuck-all results for the client. Dating sites aren't the only places now that do catfishing.
It's disgusting along the same lines as telling minimum wage hires that they should be happy that they "got in at the ground level."
Websites and individuals that give career advice also never talk about jobs as if they are a matter of survival- it's always framed as this thing you do to feel self-actualized but if it takes a while for your business to get off the ground or there's some rough patches it's ok, you can fall back on your trust fund & just live simply. Anyone discouraging you is merely a jealous hater, not someone who's reminding you that you need to pay bills. Whereas if you lose a job and don't have a bunch of $$ then it's your fault & you were irresponsible because you should always have multiple income streams. Which is ideal, I agree I don't trust any one job & would like back up options.

Another thing that freaks me out is the privacy. I'm not perfect and I have ruined some relationships in my career. I am practically leaving breadcrumbs for potential employers to dig around and find dirt by contacting mutual connections.
This is why I block co-workers and ex co-workers on LinkedIn.
The first time I did it is when EVERYONE I knew was doing LinkedIn (around 2012ish). Then I found out a co-worker was cyberstalking me through LinkedIn. I was looking for teaching jobs while working as a janitor. I shut it down soon after. Went back to LinkedIn a yr ago just to have some way for them to search for me after I accidentally got flagged as a bot account by some employers (name's weird to spell & too unique). I just use it as an online resume w/ a bit of quirks & my photo. I just get notices saying someone's looking me up when I'd fill out a group of applications. Now I just have LinkedIn and federated block-chain SM sites (which employers don't find).
I have Linkedin, sadly. I'm a Developer, so it basically becomes mandatory. That said, I don't post, I barelyinteract, nothing. It probably hurts my career chances at getting better jobs, but I don't care. I just can't be like that. I am myself the work me, everyone knows I'm a bloody commie. When I see my colleagues and old friends posting about "How Happy they are!" or "About what they're doing", I just feel... sadness. It's amazing how we commodify ourselves to make a show in front of... everyone else that is commodifying themselves.
I don't think you actually need to participate in LinkedIn for it to work professionally. It's just a place for your mugshot and resume. Every now and then I get a call from a recruiter that I take, then I make more money. I wouldn't dare to write the garbage some people I know write on there.
@@aluisious That's essentially how I use Linkedin as well. My photo is even 6 years outdated, I don't really look like that anymore lmao. However, compared to what some of my friends get, I have very little engagement on my profile.

A large number of these "grindset" idiots should learn to do something that is actually necessary and useful for other people, but a lot of them pretend that's beneath them because they're lazy.
"There's this whole demographic of corporate types self-aware enough to want out of the rat race"
I mean, that's how you win at capitalism, no? By not having to actively participate in it any longer. That's why everyone and their mother dreams about "passive income".
you worded this perfectly
Frankly, I don't believe anyone on social media who hasn't made success outside of it. And those type do get the most traction on social media for that very reason. Take Elon Musk as an example. Twitter has been very useful for him AFTER already being successful in business outside social media.
None of this is surprising. Even before social media Advertising companies were paid fortunes by defunct products. People have been trying to build social proof without results for as long as business and trade has existed. Yet, real-world results are still (and have always been) seen as the best social-proof.
My advice: Actually have a successful business with DIRECT sales, not social media marketing. THEN talk about it on social media. Actually write a well researched book, get real industry experts/stakeholders (if nonfiction) or enough dedicated readers (if nonfiction) who are willing to back it. THEN talk about it on social media. Or share WHILE you're doing this. People will say "ah, so the elitists determine people's fate?!" Well, I hate to say it but the world does work this way. But again, just getting real-world stakeholders to back you puts you ahead of the game now.
Note: Even this channel doesn't do this. Complaining about "thought leaders" on LinkedIn when content creators on Twitter, UA-cam, etc., don't have useful real-world results themselves.
_"is depressing"_. You hit it!

Over the last few years I got into tech sales because of the paycheck and the work from home balance. Coming from a lower class background and doing actual work in restaurants and retail stores it was a legitimate culture shock to be exposed to this NPC LinkedIn hell. Being that I need to network for my role I'm on LinkedIn every business day and you hit it all perfectly. It's bizarre, it's plastic and I hate it lol.
We were STRONGLY encouraged to create and maintain a LinkedIn account at my engineering school for networking, and so I did. Lo and behold, the bullshit was so concentrated you could strain it clean out of the air. I deleted my account after some time and never looked back. Some may say that it will hamper me and my career (I'm starting out in software engineering), but I really don't care. There are other and better ways in my view, such as maintaining a personal website and networking through projects, and life is just too short to waste over that crap.

It is? Huh well that’s strange how’d I make a living for 20 years never touching the thing?
@@guyincognito1406maybe because linkedin didnt exist 20 years ago
@@guyincognito1406Cause the hellscape known as LinkedIn didn't exist in the early 2000s.
@@guyincognito1406Probably because you started 20 years ago.

The word "career" gives me a rash. To imagine that you exist to create a "career" for yourself, as in, live to work, or make your work your life. It's such an insane concept.
Social media is already cancer a lot of the time, so who would have guessed that making an entire social media centered on corporate stuff would be a terrible idea, amirite?
I dont mind having a job and actually doing work, what ive noticed is everything in between that is cringe. So the only solution is to be remote and to dissociate yourself and become a real cog in the machine. Just a survival tactic honestly, i cant stand the political correctness and fakery of the corporate world.
This is me right now, I work hybrid and I go in on Monday. Every time I go into office I get all these micro aggressions, unnecessary small talk and flossing of privilege( ski trips, family owns boats in cape cod) awkward forced social interaction. I’ve always been nice but these people make me question if I should continue lol.
Top tier content comrade. I'm a cyber analyst and have a cuck corporate job so I have to have a LinkedIn like other ppl but great description of the denizens that occupy that space.
linkedin is the most blatant self-parody of late stage capitalism
Beautifully put. How true.
Me taking a break from linkedin job applications to watch this video
I deleted my Linkedin account about six years ago. Never got a single thing out of it. A total and complete waste of time.I had no idea about the level of douchebaggery and dickheadedness on their platform. That was entertaining to hear about. Glad I dodged that bullet by a time zone or so.
dude this one cut deep. My job titles was changed last year from Field Service Engineer to ..... Technical Joy Ambassador. Yugopnik, please.....put me out of my misery!
Changed by who, your company? Get a real FSE job, sounds like you're somewhere that trades in BS. It's never been easier. If you can hold a screwdriver without putting your eye out for 15 minutes you get $90k a year. If you can avoid putting out someone else's eye for another 15 minutes, over $100k.

One part of Linkedin that I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE which you didn't talk about in the video is Company PR Social media posts.
Companies posting videos and pictures of how "HAPPY" and "FUN" it is to work there by sharing stories and videos of their activites, small events or doing social media trends.
That shit just looks so fake, so forced.
Living in a muslim country, they gave each employees gift baskets filled with snacks and sweets on Eid. I was like huh that's so nice..only for the HR team to gather up everyone to take a picture with the baskets in their hands to post on LinkedIn.
I really didn't wanted to do this but NO wasn't an option. I was SOO pissed at them, cos these mfs made us work like dogs and then they pretend to care just to get online points.
Hate LinkedIn with a burning passion.
Oh yes, you reminded me of my days at Deloitte
If companies just fired all of the employees that take 3-week vacations we wouldn't have any CEOs. How would we possibly survive without the CEOs???
Finally, somebody posted what is LinkedIn really about and how actually degrades us as a person, forces us to twist the image of our own personality.
Damn this video was seriously funny
LinkedIn can be so fake. It’s too extreme. You can just tell everyone is trying to put on big smiles and throw out positivity any chance they can while selling themselves in the best light possible but when you meet the same people in actual interviews or in the work field it’s so dry, casual, and boring. It’s code switching set to maximum.
LinkedIn is the embodiment of Lumpem proletariat

So the Raccoon boss missed the interview too. Like if you were on time he wouldn't have been there. LOL
The man, the myth, the legend, Mitch Whiting. I am a fan of Mitch Whiting and therefore I love LinkedIn😂
Some hardcore lore knowledge right there
Wait, dude, did you actually see Mitch Whitting from LinkedIn?
I saw him at a Party once, I just HAD to ask if he’s the legend that I thought he was /s
11:54 I know it's morbid and a reply like that wouldn't survive LinkedIn algos/mods for more than a fraction of a second, but someone should have told that guy that his wife didn't die, he got *promoted to self-sufficient bachelor*! He got a free bachelor's degree y'all!! Reason to celebrate, wipe away those boy tears and embrace your -dead wife- new station in life!
I had to learn how to use Linkedin as part of my anthropology capstone class. The amount of hand-wringing and essentially stretching the truth in order to maybe, JUST MAYBE, get the chance just to never get a response.
I guess I should be happy this sort of shit didn't exist when I went to school, because I'd go apoplectic if a professor started talking about LinkedIn in an anthropology class.
I laughed so much at the 'interviewing for 5 years status'
How do you know said racoon was homeless? What does a raccoon home look like anyway?

@@YUGOPNIK 😄 Glad u took that humorously , as it was intended. Good on ya!
After decades in the corporate world I'd like to say thanks for this video.
I feel less crazy and guilty about wearing the mask.
Still hate that I have to do it and yes, this is hell, but at least I know I'm not alone.
I escaped it. Thank God. I hope you do too.
I have linkedin just as a formality as my job field demands it. I have zero patience for that corporate cesspool.
What's even worse are the influencers with their phony speech about "doing your best everyday" or "leadership is about this and that".
Zero class conciousness, zero awareness of how they are being exploited for profit without even getting crumbs in return.
I Can't feel sorry for people that worship their oppressor.
At 12:02 there's that guy that says job hopping every 1-2 years is a bad look and makes you less knowledgeable about your work. I remember that post. People in the LinkedIn comments immediately called him out because most of his LinkedIn experiences were for appointments that lasted less than 2 years lol It's like that other LinkedIn post from an HR recruiter saying that job hopping is bad, but also does job hopping as per her own LinkedIn resume.
Hypocrisy seems to be constant theme in that blasted site.
I make sure to bring a modest level of toxicity to work in order to stay true to myself
I shouldn't have laughed that hard on the Cybersecurity Widower 😅
