I concur but I noticed recently that with a lot of younger folks, it seems like a cultural shift.
Maybe encouraged is a strong word, but at the very least it's far more acceptable to make these things public than, say a decade or two ago.
I can't say it's wrong, per se, because I see the reasoning behind it. But there's a cultural clash.
I haven't hired anyone in a while, but if I had to posts like these would definitely result in a hard pass, no matter their skills.
- Eldt 4y agoAs a member of the younger generation, I would give you a hard pass for holding such a sentiment.
- 4wsn 4y agoI know, that's implied. That's why I said it's a cultural class; both parties are unable to co-exist. It's nothing personal. It's just, outside of FAANG and fields with a FAANG-like culture, the expectation is generally professionalism. At least in my field, if customers Google a company they don't want to see posts by employees of this nature. This sort of thing just doesn't fit.
