Huh? It's a company of 8,000+ people, and a random screenshot of 4 profiles leads you to this conclusion? In any company of thousands you're going find at least some people that don't find utility in the product that company is creating. Surely that's obvious? You'd need to actually perform a proper statistical study to know for sure.
- pm24601 11y agoOP here. Some points here: 1. I don't have access to all that data do that sort of analysis. If you have that access, run the analysis and get back to me. I was writing an opinion piece, not an academic paper. 2. The people in question are all managers and above. A good demographic of LinkedIn's sweet spot. 3. These people in question, I met personally. And each one of them expressed some variant of not seeing a personal need to update their own profile. 4. Most of my personal friends understand that they are supposed to get "something" from their LinkedIn profile - they just don't know what that "something" is. 5. LinkedIn has potential that it is wasting.
