The fact that my fiance broke up with her ex like FIVE YEARS AGO and he is still internet stalking her is both hilarious and terrifying

They're going crazy on LinkedIn

This sounds like something from The Handmaid’s Tale, ffs.

I don't think anyone can mentally prepare you for how awful Linkedin is as a networking/job hunting social media site. The posts that gain any sort of popularity there would be absolutely crucified anywhere else online. From awful advice from recruiters to a CEO posting a picture of himself crying over layoffs he made?????

And just an endless amount of people like this.

Help! I'm a Perfect Genius, but This Potential Employer Asked Me a Boring Interview Question!

Ask A Manager, 13 Feb 2024:

I was rejected from a role for not answering an interview question. I had all the skills they asked for, and the recruiter and hiring manager loved me. I had a final round of interviews — a peer on the hiring team, a peer from another team that I would work closely with, the director of both teams (so my would-be grandboss, which I thought was weird), and then finally a technical test with the hiring manager I had already spoken to. (I don’t know if it matters but I’m male and everyone I interviewed with was female.) The interviews went great, except the grandboss. I asked why she was interviewing me since it was a technical position and she was clearly some kind of middle manager. She told me she had a technical background (although she had been in management 10 years so it’s not like her experience was even relevant), but that she was interviewing for things like communication, ability to prioritize, and soft skills. I still thought it was weird to interview with my boss’s boss. She asked pretty standard (and boring) questions, which I aced. But then she asked me to tell her about the biggest mistake I’ve made in my career and how I handled it. I told her I’m a professional and I don’t make mistakes, and she argued with me! She said everyone makes mistakes, but what matters is how you handle them and prevent the same mistake from happening in the future. I told her maybe she made mistakes as a developer but since I actually went to school for it, I didn’t have that problem. She seemed fine with it and we moved on with the interview. A couple days later, the recruiter emailed me to say they had decided to go with someone else. I asked for feedback on why I wasn’t chosen and she said there were other candidates who were stronger. I wrote back and asked if the grandboss had been the reason I didn’t get the job, and she just told me again that the hiring panel made the decision to hire someone else. I looked the grandboss up on LinkedIn after the rejection and she was a developer at two industry leaders and then an executive at a third. She was also connected to a number of well-known C-level people in our city and industry. I’m thinking of mailing her on LinkedIn to explain why her question was wrong and asking if she’ll consider me for future positions at her company but my wife says it’s a bad idea. What do you think about me mailing her to try to explain?

Sir,

You have been wronged in the most grievous of ways by a coven of retaliatory, self-aggrandizing women who have failed in the extreme to recognize your brilliance, your talent, and above all, your general superiority.

Of course you should mail this mediocre "grandboss" on LinkedIn to inform her of the deep offense she caused you by interviewing you in the first place, let alone doing so using a boring question — indeed, you have a moral and professional obligation to do so in order to preserve your honor and the honor of scores of men like you who have never done a single solitary thing wrong in their lives, ever.

But I beg you to consider doing more. A single, private message to one incompetent bitch may not convey to the necessary parties the depth and breadth of the situation. Many, many people have important lessons to learn from your experience, and I encourage you to share it widely. Consider making a public LinkedIn post, and ensure that it is shareable across platforms. Depending on your financial resources, a billboard with your name, professional headshot, and contact information could go a long way toward ensuring that everyone in your industry who needs to know just how you handled the way these women treated you, does know about it. I hope that in your continuing job search, you are able to connect with potential employers who have a much better grasp of all you bring to the table.

it's nauseating. it's fucking insidious. trans women aren't safe anywhere. matt is not mentally fit to run a tech company if his answer to backlash against a stupid decision is to quadruple down, make it about his personal feelings, and then cyberstalk someone half his age with a fraction of his power.

on an unrelated note, here's a link to a list of the board of directors of automattic.

“... you're like, not missing much on LinkedIn”.

I kept getting stuck on “Medieval LinkedIn” instead of regular LinkedIn where everyone posted like 14th century serfs and people were vaguebooking about their landlords.

Darling Bitches, is LinkedIn worth the soul suck of having a corporate-friendly social media presence? I know networking is great but I don’t want to filter myself in my off hours, damn it!

We feel you honey!

Basically, you should treat LinkedIn like a detailed online resume. Don't worry about posting there a lot, just make sure your profile is up to date and when you're job searching, check your messages and opportunities on the regular. Otherwise, we don't think it's worth putting a ton of effort in.

Good luck, my darling!
