Yeah after Reading this yesterday I downloaded all my data and nuked my account.

Was barely any different from Facebook anyhow. More self promoting bullshit but same levels of insane “the gub’mint” garbage.

Have you got any games on your LinkedIn?

LinkedIn plans to get added to every company’s IT blacklist for adding gaming to its platform.

sirdorius ,

Top 10 on the leaderboard get boosted in job searches.

But in all seriousness, this is why searching continuous growth ruins products. LinkedIn had a decent thing going as a job board a few years ago. Instead of focusing on that experience (which is still surprisingly underdeveloped) it added all this useless shit and became a Facebook with a paper thin mask of professionalism. It is now a place used mostly to spread toxic corporate culture and I dread its logo any time I open it to search for a job.

I have been looking for a job for 4 months now and have never used LinkedIn to search. I had very good experiences with Google for Jobs, where I could set up alerts for certain search terms and the radius in which I was searching, whereby you can also exclude cities if necessary. This meant I didn’t have to use another job board, I only used it for forwarding. Since the last rework, Google for Jobs almost always finds the company websites with the job advertisments directly, so I no longer have to look at job boards at all, a very pleasant experience. I used LinkedIn once to test it and all that came up was generic crap, it’s unbelievable how a site that’s supposed to be about professional life can be so sub-par at finding jobs. And just to conclude this post, I successfully found a job with this method.

sirdorius ,

I never knew Google for Jobs existed. I will try it out, hopefully I can get something out of it before Google kills it.

Corkyskog ,

Lol… I almost instinctively didn’t even bother looking for it because OP used past tense, so I assumed Google already eliminated it like many useful things they invent.

Indeed has always been the best one in my personal experience. Monster is making comeback, which you just love to see when an old dog learns new tricks.

So with LinkedIn losing its shit, where is the next place to go to for doing what LinkedIn was supposed to be good at?

krash ,

You have xing, but it’s big in DACH countries only and its still owned/ruled by a company. Roll up our own website and socialize / network with like minded people on the fediverse instead.

Building up an actual network of co workers and maintaining a portfolio.

Corkyskog ,

Rolodex?

Your 2 or 3 big local platforms of choice.

Was it supposed to be good at something? I was only ever told to to get it in case an employer Googles me, never to actually try to find jobs. That’s what indeed is for (or in my case just going directly to the employer’s website).

stockRot ,

Is there a fediverse LinkedIn out there?

VonCesaw ,

Employers, as a general body, fundamentally disagree with what the fediverse stands for

Patches , (edited )

What do you mean?

My boss loves free shit. Ain’t never met one who didn’t.

I always check whether each piece of deployed FOSS Software is Free for Commercial Use only to find out the answer is **“It should be”. ** Lord knows my employer can afford it.

Something about Thomas Jefferson falling into a wormhole, right?

So Farmville? People can harvest while they browse for the daily motivational quote about how great of leader everybody is.

Naw, Copilot is loving the free technical data in the form of “AI and user created articles”.

Are they trying to tap into e-sports? Maybe help form and organize teams?

Well, Excel is already an e-sport, so Microsoft is halfway there
