Remember when LinkedIn was the place to get work done?

Welcome to NEW LinkedIn, where professionals go to get distracted

  • Because nothing says "professional networking" like knowing that out of my 30K connections, 48 have played Queens in the last hour. Exactly the vital information I needed today. And it's so comforting to know my boss not only sucks at setting my KPIs but also sucks at LUDO (oh wait.. they dont have LUDO, but you get the point). Say Yes to LinkedIn Games : because what better way to showcase your professional skills than competing in virtual board games. Maybe next we’ll have a LinkedIn Queens Champion title to boost your profile visibility and job hunt next?
  • AI Post Ideas – Original thoughts? Nah, let the algorithm tell me what to think. Can’t wait for the ‘Inspirational Monday Motivation’ template. Because originality is overrated, right?
  • LinkedIn Shorts – because TikTok isn’t enough. Now I can document getting laid off in 30-second clips. ‘Watch me scream at my boss in high definition!’ And the best part? When the boss yells at an employee, we can record that too! Coming soon: "Live from the pantry" and "Breakout room drama" LiEmploymentTV is the new reality TV

What are the new features in pipe: Kundli and Tarot?

  • LinkedIn Horoscopes: Today’s forecast: Your connection requests will be ignored. Better luck tomorrow!
  • LinkedIn Tarot Readings: The cards say stop pretending to enjoy team-building exercises
  • LinkedIn Karaoke: Here's a hip hop base track to sing your resignation letter
  • LinkedIn Pet Profiles: Cause your cat deserves a professional network too
  • LinkedIn Cooking Shows: Cause you are more than your current role
  • LinkedIn Meditation Sessions: Your mind needs it own Calm
  • LinkedIn Matchmaking: We solved for the jobs, now lets help you find love with someone equally networked

Meta shutting down workplace really dint teach you anything??? To the PMs at LinkedIn – Thanks for teaching us - What not to do when and how.

LinkedIn is not the same what it was an year ago, these days it's mostly filled with useless crap and so called influencers sharing their fake interview experiences just to sponsor someone who paid good amount of money

So true

Most jobs posted have more than 200 applicants and not one will be reviewed by hr At the end of the day someone has to refer you inside the organisation only then you get a chance to interview.. soo many talented job seekers never get an opportunity to even interview unless you are referred by someone

Where do you source candidates for hiring? Last I checked LinkedIn is the best platform for it

The shots were not for sourcing channel - the shots were on the other gimmicky stuff they are doing. But regardless - there a dime a dozen closed groups which has refined audience for sourcing, truth be told some of my recent hires have come from grapevine :)

You have absolutely nailed it bro . Not to forget , those cringe worthy LinkedIn influencers who would talk every time about how they got their clients to pay a 6 digit amount for social media support 😂

LinkedIn has become trash, just like every other social media platform, including Grapevine.

Why do you think grapevine lost its essence?

Look at the Jio price hike post for example. It's littered with comments and shitposts which have been done to death for a long, long time now.

If an HR is ranting about Linkedin then definitely their fake post on linkedin didn't get enough traffic.

Jokes aside these are some really valid points. And as a GEM(General Engineering Middleclass Male). Linkedin is a place where I will be scammed with fake posts and addition of matchmaking has me cooked beyond repair.

I don’t need traffic to make a point - density / depth of points is what matters. That aside - I did the same take on LinkedIn on LinkedIn and was top ranked - but sure go ahead slobber me with comments - why take that effort when you can take shots freely 😝

LinkedIn is not what it used to be

I used to get recommendations for useful posts, job openings, some good tech blogs, etc. Now all i get is people bragging about their struggles, self help articles, unfunny jokes, motivational quotes with a random photo which should hav...

Linkedin response

Why do people add each other on linkedin but never respond when you reach out to them for help? Is it just me or happens to most people?
