  If they really wanted the users to “truthfully and authentically” represented themselves, they should ban everybody

    “I’m glad my account is back and they’re allegedly going to be using my experience as a template for future situations like mine

    What more could you want after an ID mismatch experience?

      Wait since when did you need ID for LinkedIn?

      For the company not to have done it at all. It was very clearly a capitulation to the Trump administration, not a mistake, but a deliberate action. I don’t support companies that capitulation to these fascist fucks.

      For it to have happened as a matter of course, and not when they faced the prospect of bad press over it, for a start.

  Linkdin eventually fixed it once their media team got wind that this is about to break into a massive story.

    How many other people remain banned that doesn’t have a following to raise the issue for media to pick it up?

      Oh I’m not at all supporting LinkedIn in this. Only that this person was able to get their issue rectified since they were able to make waves.

      It sucks that that’s what it took

    I absolutely cannot stand the fact that I have to be on LinkedIn to find a job.

    It’s so shitty.

    Our hiring process is so fucking broken but we live with it because we don’t care to make it better.

  As mentioned previously, I have a weird Rupert J Farnsworth name; it’s the only thing I inherited from a very mean grandfather. I don’t use that name anywhere; even my mom has called me something else since birth.

  If LinkedIn found this out, they’d delete my account, I guess, because I don’t use that name there either.

  Wheeee.
