> deeply shameful
Your feelings are what they are, but this is the least shameful post I would ever see on LinkedIn. It's someone actually looking for work! and not just posting some super cringe low-IQ engagement-farm copypasta.
Finding work is exactly what LinkedIn ought to be for
- ghaff 2y agoI certainly don't think it's shameful. But, while that's more or less what LinkedIn was intended for, it's also become sort of a last man standing medium for professional professional posts--or at least pointers to such--unless you can organically drive enough traffic to a subscription or a website.

Ahh no, I hope you don't mean to "organically" drive "enough" traffic from LinkedIn to a subscription or website elsewhere? Because that's exactly the kind of thing that's killing LinkedIn for job search and professional networking.
- ghaff 2y agoProfessional networking mostly happens in-person anyway. For me, LinkedIn is mostly an updating Rolodex. But, if you have a newsletter or website, you probably need to drive traffic somehow. LinkedIn isn't the only mechanism and maybe not a very good one but it is a channel at least in the tech industry.
- doright 2y agoI guess the reality is, what we term "shameful, amoral, slimy and vapid LinkedIn spammers" are actually thousands of relatively like-minded people all saying some variation of "please let me get/keep a job or I won't be able to keep living" in just a creative/repetitive enough fashion that one or more recruiters/persons who know other people will keep them in orbit for the next source of income. I have been on the other side of this (not doing it) and the effects are fairly straightforward: no more paychecks. I guess if you're not a recruiter or your job prospects are taken care of, you can safely pretend the LinkedIn social feed doesn't exist - it isn't written for you. Its sole purpose is for people to get what they need to survive and carry on. So I've resolved to not blame others for having to post there so much. This is money - hence life - were talking about here, unfortunately or not.
- em-bee 2y agoi don't quite understand what caused the no more paychecks, if you were on the other side of this...
- racl101 2y agoCould not have said it better.
- ge96 2y agoOMG there was one about how an engineer in San Francisco is crying about his $2K in salad bills and his Cyber Truck while making like a half a mil a year
- SCUSKU 2y agoSurely it was satire? Surely...? Please
- angvp 2y agoThat was a sarcastic one, made by a comedian who used to work in tech, lol
- fragmede 2y agoI'd guess that's Austin Nasso and TechRoastShow. They clearly know the subject matter well. https://www.instagram.com/austinnasso/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/austinnasso/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/techroastshow/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/techroastshow/?hl=en
