Man Makes A Mocking Post Poking Fun At LinkedIn Influencers And People Are Cracking Up

ADVERTISEMENT

As you most likely already know, LinkedIn is a social media platform which is considered to be the word’s largest professional network on the internet. Most people seem to be using it to create an online resume, look for jobs or internships, look for potential candidates, and search for new connections. Though there are people who are pretty active on the platform, and at this point, it would be appropriate to call them LinkedIn influencers.

Recently, a post on Twitter went viral in which a guy shared a hilarious, made-up “success story” created by a LinkedIn user meant to poke fun at Linkedin influencers.

This post on Twitter currently has over 400k likes as well as almost 80k retweets

After some digging, we found out that this story shared by Lumo Solwandle on LinkedIn was actually inspired by one created by another LinkedIn user named Nikhil Narayanan.

And here’s the original post created by a user named Nikhil Narayanan on LinkedIn

Many people agreed with the message this parody was portraying

And apparently, one user even found a real-life example of the kind of posts this one was poking fun at

I find a lot of professional value on LinkedIn but do see a plenty of people treating it like Facebook and other social media. Some folks see it as another means of getting attention. Don't feed the beast.

Maybe, just maybe, we'll destroy the whole narcissism trend if we keep ridiculing it like this. Don't give up, people!

When I had an active LinkedIn profile I'd get suggestions for potential jobs that I wasn't even remotely qualified for. I have no idea how their algorithms work, except... they don't.
