    LinkedIn is the cringiest hell hole I've ever witnessed. I actually hate it.

    I do use the recruiter site though, as its a pretty cool tool.

    Seems to be a growing trend. Every time someone leaves our place these days you get an email come round saying it's the best place they've ever worked, the people are great, the bosses are great, everything is amazing, etc, etc.

    So why you leaving then?


    cos you still work there?

    State of Linkedin is a brilliant account. Think it's run by the same guy/team(?) that does DHOTY.

    Recruiter is absolutely unreal. I can see why LinkedIn are able to charge through the nose for it! As I'm in a smaller enterprise I don't have the beefed-up version, but the search tool is absolutely brilliant for what you can find, and the parameters by which you can search.

    If the bloke has just got up and his missus and kids are still asleep, then who's made him the "freshly brewed coffee" he can smell as he comes downstairs?

    I'd like to see the LinkedIn profile for his live-in servant.

    "4.00am - woke up.

    Went upstairs from the dungeon-like basement room I sleep in and switched the coffee machine on.

    Honestly, the bloke I work for is such a self-obsessed arrogant cnut I really don't know why I do this sh*t for minimum wage. His coffee alone costs more than I get paid in a day. 

    4.35am - here he comes now. Just time for me to flob in his coffee before he gets here."

    This does not absolve him from being a self indulgent knob, but programmable coffee machines have been around for years.

    A bit closer to home, and congratulations Anthony, but should he be a Diversity officer, rather than a Diversionary officer, or is his role to genuinely send people the wrong way?

    Edit; as pointed out below, it is actually a job title and a role that looks to divert...



    Checking the club's website, the trust seem happy with the title...

    Title is correct

    Andy Scott employs him to deflect criticism onto the managers we have sacked rather than on his own performance

    From the NHS:

    About liaison and diversion

    Liaison and Diversion (L&D) services identify people who have mental health, learning disability, substance misuse or other vulnerabilities when they first come into contact with the criminal justice system as suspects, defendants or offenders.

    The service can then support people through the early stages of criminal system pathway, refer them for appropriate health or social care or enable them to be diverted away from the criminal justice system into a more appropriate setting, if required.

    L&D services aim to improve overall health outcomes for people and to support people in the reduction of re-offending. It also aims to identify vulnerabilities in people earlier on which reduces the likelihood that people will reach a crisis-point and helps to ensure the right support can be put in place from the start.

    I think Linkedin is one of the main reasons I could never freelance/go self employed. 

    Everyone I know on there who is self employed is so unbelievably cringeworthy, reminds me of the old days of MySpace with "picture comment for picture comment" bollocks. 

    Really want to create a fake linkedin account just to call out the bullshit on there :D

    If only it really were confined to the freelance/self-employed. I agree  it's probably a bit more desperate on that side but a lot of corporate soldiers are pretty bad too. My mate deliberately DMs me his company's LinkedIn PR output, just to enjoy how much it winds me up. Especially the ESG stuff. It's a scaffolding, sorry a "safety" company, FFS.

    When I owned my own company, I was on there for a while had around a 1,000 followers didn’t write a single thing on it. But when I resigned my emails I received eventually fell by around 75% and funny enough they only came from people I knew. Frankly was a total waste of time to both myself and those trying to contact me via this dreadful app.

    Sadly it’s become more like Facebook with more and more ‘stories’ being posted rather than the original and more limited professional networking bias. 

    It’s useful for searching for roles and looking up candidates work CVs but the dross of ‘look at me’ stories about work life balance, how to manage yourself and others etc is annoying.
