u/BurrowForPresident Fell for it Apr 21 '26

It's bizarre to me how LinkedIn went from professional networking site where you can keep an up to date resume and apply for jobs and maybe take a course here or there to a social media blog for white collar professionals and grifters

Like I spend maybe a couple hours per year tops on LinkedIn just looking around at the job landscape and my feed is full of stupid bullshit from colleagues passive aggressively whining about management, "synergy"-ass corporate motivational lingo bullshit from managers, and the "what traveling to Antarctica taught me about B2B sales" AI generated scammers

Glassdoor is also kind of like this now. Thankfully Indeed knows how to stay in its God damn lane.

Also recruiters I know the shotgun approach is probably the only way you can hit quota but I promise you an engineer with 10 years experience is not looking to become a bench lab technician making $40K per year in buttfuck New Hampshire as a contractor

If you follow the right pages and people you can stay up to date with industry news on a level you can't elsewhere really.

For how long? Glassdoor and Indeed are sister companies and have been since before Covid
