  LinkedIn games make as much sense as zoos on airplanes

    I'm sick of these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!

    To be fair, airplanes feel like zoos.

      Sometimes smell like them too

    LinkedIn has been the Facebook you can us at work for a while. How games will change that? TBD

      So we agree it was already garbage! Lol

      Honestly I don’t even get it, I have a LinkedIn account that I have updated twice (only when getting ready to change jobs)

      I only keep it because I have heard more than once that " an IT person without a LinkedIn profile is a red flag" which I find completely idiotic but the world we live in is idiotic

      As far as I know, none of the job offers I have received have actually been affected in anyway due to my LinkedIn profile… It has only served to get spam and lame short term contract offers (like I’m leaving my full time job for a 1 year “exiting” contract)

    But a zoo on a airplane does make sense.

  Just what I want from a platform designed for networking and job seeking: games.

  • PP_BOY_@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s pretty on the nose for the current job market though. It’s all just games

• cloudless@lemmy.cafe ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Cringe posts on LinkedIn soon about how games inspired them to be achievers at work.

  • small44@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s already terrible with memes posts

    source

    • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, I don’t understand why anyone posts there. LinkedIn is for finding jobs, not actually communicating. You just want to have a network so you have a better chance of having a connection with people who are hiring.

  The game: looking for a new job without your boss finding out

  source

  • SeaJ@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Boss: Why are you on LinkedIn?

    Me: I’m just checking up on my Farmville.

    Boss: Oh okay. Carry on.

      Hmm…

  Can linkedin go under. Can musk buy LinkedIn?

    First order of business, shut down the linked in side and go all in on games.

    It’s owned by MS. Just to give you a view how important do they think it is, if you’re on Windows press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L on your keyboard.

      Clearly a keyboard shortcut designed for humans by an AI.

  What in the hell is this timeline, even. For real.

  Not only are you a sucker for giving them all your personal contacts a la Facebook, but now they can get your gaming info as well? Please fuck off.

  Nice coincidence I deleted my LinkedIn account today.

  Poor management

• kayaven@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  So when are they adding the cringy Farmville-equivalent type games to it? Make sure to help your boss farm their crops or you might risk getting fired! :-)

  Ah the marvels of infinite growth and capitalism. Are we still allowed to say enshitification here?

  • Miaou@jlai.lu ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’d call that an actual improvement.

  Is this going to turn out to be one of those "last starfighter” situations, except it’s about arranging lists of words rather than fighting aliens?
