director of demand generation
You just gotta love those LinkedIn idiots… I am a protein rotation specialist, also known as a burger flipper at McDonald’s
The only difference between that example and this woman is that the guy at McDonald’s is doing actual work with actual results where this director of demand generation is a job that is entirely made up and doesn’t do shit.
Any company having a demand generation director is a huge red flag that should be avoided like the plague
FYI, it takes time to delete yourself from LinkedIn. I think it took a month? Not sure anyone needs to know about this.
Unfortunately for me it’s the best place to try and get a job nowadays.
It was the worst for me, I don’t why I kept it so long. It was just people trying to sell me stuff or get me to hire them.
I have exactly one LinkedIn post I made recently after 12.5 years in my career as a software engineer. It was about supporting your local food banks during the government shutdown.
How many impressions did it get? Did it extend your professional network?
Did you also include a blurb about the shutdown being an opportunity for those affected to learn their new market segment to better develop their GTM strategy and increase their profitability? Or maybe you mentioned how you went to a food bank, but instead of handing out food you actually told the people in line about new ways for them to diversify their earnings potential and that by bringing a quarter over quarter increase in revenue they could be a sales driver that adds value to the team.
You’re going to pay that person’s salary… Why would you want them giving their ‘work’ away for free on a platform you don’t own?
Only fucking sycophants and frauds give a rats ass about linked it. It’s the business equivalent of myspace
I’m gonna create a business posting insane takes on LinkedIn for people who don’t want to do it themselves. I’ll even throw in bots for engagement in the comments. But all the content is just gonna be shit from this comm.
then I’m gonna make a competing business that automates it using AI, and then sell it to some startup CEO.
I’m gonna be fucking rich off these dickheads.
AI wrangler six days a week, hard pass!
Make the AI post to linkedin, two birds one stone.
They should check LinkedIn before asking persons to come in for interviews if that’s their requirement. Save everyone some time
But then they wouldn’t get a story to post about on LinkedIn.
That sounds entirely too efficient for middle management.
Once upon a time I had a LinkedIn account and they were constantly lighting up my email inbox. I sent an email that just said stop fucking emailing me.
Received the message approximately 5 minutes later that my account had been deleted. Mission accomplished I guess?
I’ve never had a LinkedIn and I deleted my Facebook and Instagram years ago. I actually think it’s why I can’t get a new job in my field. I’m currently employed, get good feedback from my supervisors and peers, have tons of experience, and have good working relationships with the people I deal with outside my company, but most networking in my field is all done on social media and most jobs are posted on Facebook. I’ve been looking for a new job for months and have applied at multiple places and followed up and heard crickets, and yet I know people with the same exact job who were fired for cause and had a job the next week. The only job openings I’ve even found are places that coworkers with social media pointed me to, because they saw posts that the companies are hiring. I’m starting to wonder if companies are looking me up on social media, not finding me, and throwing me in the reject pile. The last thing I want to do is rejoin the metaverse, but I’m starting to think I’m wrecking my career by avoiding it. It’s so frustrating.
I have never posted anything on my LinkedIn account, I set up the account years ago when I believed it it would actually be beneficial, quickly realised it wouldn’t be, and abandoned it.
I get recruiters chasing me all the time, everyone in the industry does.
That’s not to say there are necessarily a lot of jobs, there may be, but the recruiters are so bad at their jobs that it’s hard to tell. They’re also trying to get me to move to another continent all the time. Why can’t Saudi Arabia just use their own people, I don’t get it.
…and then when you get there, they take your ID and passport. So odd. /s
I’m reasonably confident Saudi Arabia is not trying to human traffic 30+ software developers.
I am surprised that most of the jobs for your industry are on Facebook. I don’t even know how to find job reqs on Facebook… I don’t actually know how to post on LinkedIn either though. But most of the job reqs I see that are a decent fit are on LinkedIn, and I’ve heard of a lot of the new start-ups in my industry from LinkedIn. … If you work in engineering for defense or space companies, I’d start with making a profile on LinkedIn.
My industry is weird (it’s in my post history, so I’ll just say it, it’s EMS). A lot of ambulance companies don’t have someone to actively maintain a website. They might have a website but it might be a year or two out of date. It’s easier and cheaper for a supervisor to make a “we’re hiring! Email me your info!” post on Facebook, especially when that’s where everyone is anyway and that’s how everyone else is doing it. It’s a very informal and very odd industry.
We have to do so many hours of continuing education every year to maintain our certification and I have a co-worker who does the coolest trainings. I finally asked how he finds them because all I can ever find is the dryest, most boring classes. Of course the answer was Facebook. It’s all on Facebook. If you want to get into a new specialty, if you want a fun training, if you want to connect with providers who aren’t in your immediate circle, if you want to learn a new niche or find a company or a job across the country you need Facebook.
Candix fit in both of your hands while you type this corpogratuity post?
Depends: side by side, or tip-to-tip?
This has got to be a quip from The Circle or something…
Well, at least I have a spine and refuse to go with the flow. No Facebook, LinkedIn, Xitter or whatever that sewer is called these days and I’m just fine with that. Just a bit of Lemmy for some discussions and memes, but fuck having to share everything you do.
Can we put these people under a giant glass dome and seal them off from the rest of humanity?
Don’t worry—they’re all assigned to B ark.
Gonna post my fucking furry yiff porn on LinkedIn
Less shameful than the CEOs who go on there and spam AI-generated “Thought Leadership” slop.
Oh, they should post furry yiff porn with the hashtags ThoughtLeadership. Add some human generated text about being a thought leader by posting outside the box and wonder why no one seems to be posting their favorite yiff porn.
You’ve got manager material in you, son.
When the CEOs were talking about inflation, I don’t think that’s what they had in mind LMAO
Had a career as a lawyer for over 20 years and not once I posted anything on LinkedIn! Are these real people or paid trolls?
They are wannabe paid folks, and scammers.
