The Witty Writer

Connecting unknown people more than the known people was the purpose of social media, and LinkedIn was for professionals. It was promising as people started seeing the benefit of it but not like other social media platforms. The day came, and LinkedIn thought of Instagram as a competitor, and the rest is history. LinkedIn had an opportunity to become anything yet, they chose the spoilt one – Instagram. The difference between LinkedIn and Instagram is that you know that you are being stalked on LinkedIn but not on Instagram. Every social media platform has a community that defines the platform. The community of LinkedIn is the weirdest one.

Positive Posters 

Sometimes the positive posts on LinkedIn are overwhelming – I don’t know what to interpret after reading a super positive post. Frankly, I find it funny. Every positive post starts with the cliché “I was broke”, “I was rejected”, “I lost everything and am still not giving up”. It seems super positive posts are the remedy of every global issue. I hope it was the case.

Agree Ones

I get tons of posts related to the question – agree? Dear all, are you miserable at your job – Agree? Dear all, is your boss mean to you sometimes – Agree? Dear jobseekers, it is difficult to find a dream job without references – Agree? Most people switch jobs because of low salaries, bad bosses and career growth – Agree? I don’t know why there is a question mark. It feels these people are talking to themselves on LinkedIn or LinkedIn works that way only. If it works that way, then I agree. 

Storytellers

All the living and dead storytellers can’t compete with LinkedIn storytellers, and the reason is the unique plots of the story. Every story starts with the most obnoxious incident and ends with great morality. You can check it out now on the LinkedIn page, stories like I hired a poor man story, I was depressed as my boss yelled at me, how a customer forgot his pen in my car, how I foiled the job scam, and finally how a sick dog made me human again. 

Spreaders 

Such people are not concerned with the post at all, and they care about is how they can spread the post. Once a guy posted about a job search and was looking for a job but, a guy commented – Great opportunity. I also do the same when there is a post from Scarlett Johansson but not on Linkedin.

Anniversary Celebrators

The word anniversary means the date on which an event took place, and usually, the anniversary comes once a year but, on LinkedIn, it comes whenever you want. If you work for four days in a new company then, it’s an anniversary. I hope there is a different place in hell for such people. I can tolerate anything but, I can’t stand one month anniversary. Sometimes I lose my mind and write whining blogs about them.

As every technology in the world was meant to be good, and LinkedIn was supposed to be in the league of great platforms, perhaps they became what they were most afraid of – Instagram for professionals. 

Thanks for reading and do comment what do you think about LinkedIn.
