I'm in the corporate world, I'm a hiring manager. I refuse to have a linkedin. Everyone says they wish they could do the same - then do it. Do the same. Nothing happened to me, nothing will happen to you other than your life being better because you aren't on Linkedin.

edit: grammar

The problem is that there isn't anything better for job seekers.

[-] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

I really wish there was one. I'm looking around right now and I wish there was a better alternative

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 43 points 4 months ago

The problem is corporate culture. LinkedIn is merely reflecting it. Any other platform for job seekers would have the same issues.

[-] noobdoomguy8658@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

Not if it's treated like a social media for whatever reason.

Xing (German) and Headhunter (Russian), for instance, both allow you to hunt for jobs and browse companies all without Facebook-like posts and corporate culture.

LinkedIn is a very curious artifact of moronic cargo cult-like chase for money and market share where companies just try and copy whatever the big player did, like Facebook at the time, hoping to make loads of money for the investors and stakeholders, but the absolutely anti-human corporate culture of the US makes the place is even more moronic.

I only use linked in every few years when I job hop. Literally the only reason I refuse to get rid of it entirely is that I doubled my salary the time I got a job.

[-] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Do he same.

Amen brother.

Amen.

[-] blady_blah@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

That seems so weird. Linked in is simply a way to connect with co-workers so you can contact them when you're no longer at the same job. I don't have them in my Facebook, I didn't have them in my phone, but if I want to contact them for connections or anything, LinkedIn is the place for that. How much you interact with the posting garbage is entirely up to you. I do it extremely little and I have no problem with LinkedIn.

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

That's the only reason I keep mine as well.

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I provide my phone number and email to coworkers that I want to connect with when they leave a job. Linkedin is corporate hustle poison and I refuse to be part of it.

[-] blady_blah@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Hey, whatever works for you. There are many people who I'm friendly with, but I'm not friends with, and they can be useful to find out information about employment opportunities or other things like that. Whether or not you want to call it "corporate hustle poison" or networking, or just being friendly is up to you. If you refuse to be part of it, no skin off my back, but if someone wants to be part of it then that's perfectly fine too. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with LinkedIn, Facebook or almost any other social media platform. It's really in how you use it.
