The humblebragging dishonesty of LinkedIn

That 100% DID NOT HAPPEN- I often go to Costa and don’t recall once ever hearing others conversations let alone extremely intimate detailed ones like that.

Plus all the drinks are different prices so unless they were both psychic the how the fcuk did she “take for it”? It ain’t that kinda place

I look up candidate’s LinkedIn if they have provided the link on their cv. If they have activity on their page, I tend to discard them.

Im still cringing after reading that costa coffee one, its been 20 minutes since I read it.

Jesus, first off it definitely never happened, and if it did its just a fcuking coffee, what are they 3 or 4 euro, come on, its not like you gave your house to a homeless man.

You will be lucky if your CV is even viewed by a human as portals are often using basic filters and AI. Even recruitment agencies are having trouble getting by these. Profiles are very good to see who somebody knows or worked with.

Lots of companies also encourage their staff to make posts. If you work in such a company and the potential employer know this and see you don't post they now know you don't follow the company line. Big red flag

It also appears you never did any formal training on interviewing people because you think it is a valid real time microscope where one wrong eye movement determines your eligibility. If a company hires based on something like that they really aren't being professional. Interviews are a completely artificial environment that have little to do with how a person works. If they hire staff like that then they will react to very small issues in work which isn't a good way to measure anyone's value.

Yes encouraged to praise their team, work colleagues and the company. They did hire PR companies hence they encourage their staff to be involved and many staff like it.

Because of laws and company policies you better be a professional or you will not last as a manger of people. You as an individual don't seem to realise that things changed and unless you want to be in a low paid job and mistreated you should want things to change. You may think you are above such things but what you have said so far makes is seem that you probably can't function in a professional environment.

It makes you sound to be childish and unable to see why people use Linkedin because you never worked in such an environment. I do find some of the stuff cringe but it isn't insulting or bad behavior. The worst thing is you get a compliment and that bothers you more than unprofessional companies or managers, seems like messed up priorities to me.

One of my early jobs in life transformed how I look at work. The bosses thanked us and that was huge as other jobs involved yelling. Treat people how you would like to be treated seems good to me, are you happy to be mistreated?

And cried.

That female supplier was patronized, compared against another supplier only on the gender aspect, then overpaid without her approval in a kind of charity way that can also create balance and accounting issues. She was treated like a stereotype, and the one who did it is actually proud: here my dear, take this money and let me help you overcome the patriarchy you helpless child.

Head of Department, manufacturing.

Let me clarify by activity: posting regularly like it’s a personal Facebook page. Posting photos inside work. Liking everything. Verbose profile.

I don’t like spoofers, no.

That’s hilarious, you might not want to take things that oppose your workplace outlooks so, personally 😉

childish ? No, sorry, and you can keep your emotive insults to yourself, thanks…people have differing views on the topic and you don’t seem to want to engage faithfully without getting emotive….I’ve done a lot more then just ‘function’ in professional environments including one EU intergovernmental organisation that was managed fairly and effectively without any degree of mistreatment so … 😉

That's a certainty to be a Didn't Happen Of The Year semi-finalist.

Hundreds of words, all of them lies.

These are facts
