Linkedin is a cesspool

Disclaimer: I'm grateful for Linkedin as a place for a lot of people to find job: myself included. At least in my country, if you have decend education and know your shit on your field, there's no chance you won't get a job… I shared an English Test of myself, and got bombarded with inteview offers for like 2 weeks. That being said… Linkedin seems to have become an joke with their facebook-like social network side. It blows my mind the workaholic culture around there. I feel like there is a constant competition of who gets the last job, which HHRR representative have the longer list of jobs, which job title have the most words on it or who recieves the bigges “wellcome onboard” gift packages.

Sorry about the rant. On the bright side: I finally quit my toxic job on December 2021.

Last time he did that I blocked him until monday: that day I called and told him to find a replacement because I was leaving.
