Just what I want from a platform designed for networking and job seeking: games.
LinkedIn is the latest company to get in on gaming

It’s pretty on the nose for the current job market though. It’s all just games
cloudless@lemmy.cafe 2 weeks ago
Cringe posts on LinkedIn soon about how games inspired them to be achievers at work.
small44@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s already terrible with memes posts

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
SeaJ@lemm.ee 2 weeks 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?

MS us going their level best
brlemworld@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
First order of business, shut down the linked in side and go all in on games.
Exec@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
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.

Congratulations 🤝

Because what LinkedIn really needed was Xbox ecosystem integration.

Poor management

Ah the marvels of infinite growth and capitalism. Are we still allowed to say enshitification here?
Miaou@jlai.lu 2 weeks ago
I’d call that an actual improvement.
kayaven@lemmy.world 2 weeks 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! :-)

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?

LinkedIn games make as much sense as zoos on airplanes
RandomStickman@kbin.social 2 weeks ago
I'm sick of these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!
exanime@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
You win the internet today
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
To be fair, airplanes feel like zoos.
exanime@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Sometimes smell like them too
CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That sounds awesome.
NeptuneOrbit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
LinkedIn has been the Facebook you can us at work for a while. How games will change that? TBD
exanime@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
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.
