They also have puzzles now for some reason…
LinkedIn is turning into a hot mess of Microslop.
Good. Here’s hoping they end up running it into the ground. I hate that site, and I hate everyone who asks for a linkedin account to apply for jobs.
i people often to exaggerate some parts of thier profile to make it more appealing to people.
They email me a new puzzle every single day. Like, fuck off with that shit, you are a job board and nothing more, start fucking acting like one.
But line must go up? See, you get people hooked on the puzzles, then you charge for them! It’s sure fire.
