Here’s a quick question for you, Pandas: how many of you have an account on LinkedIn? With 830 million members in over 200 countries, LI is an utterly massive online professional network. Though ‘professional’ might be a bit of a misnomer. As anyone who has spent time on the network knows, things can get pretty darn ridiculous sometimes.
Posts about completely made-up situations. Posts so full to the brim with bragging that they make you gag. Posts that exaggerate the positive qualities of the author, as well as those of their company. And posts about how CEOs acted like total jerks but tried to pretend they were super deep and professional (and totally don’t have control and/or greed issues). The cringe is real. And it all ends up on the ‘The Best of LinkedIn’ Twitter page.
Run by JR Hickey, from California, the account shows the side of LinkedIn that many would prefer would remain hidden. He gently makes fun of all the “heroes and influencers brave enough to share their stories in an effort to inspire others.” Scroll down for his best featured posts, upvote your fave ones, and tell us all about the most bizarre things you’ve stumbled upon on LI yourselves, dear Pandas.
Bored Panda got in touch with JR, the founder of the entire project on Twitter, and he was kind enough to answer our questions. He told us about the history of 'The Best of LinkedIn' and shared his thoughts about the culture of the platform and its problems. He didn't beat around the bush and was brutally honest about just how ridiculous 'LinkedInfluencers' are and how they react to his content. You'll find his thoughts below.

Some people didn't even come out of the pandemic. They just died. Wonder if that counts?
Load More Replies...I was very disciplined. I spent all day every day during my furlough lying in my garden sun bathing. As a bonus, it really cleared up my psoriasis for a while
That's great, James! WAYY more than Patrick did.
Load More Replies...Some of us had to continue life as normal during COVID (nurse here), we're too tried and burnt out learn a single new thing.
I came out with depression and a 3 week streak without showering and nobody noticed does that count Patrick?
I can totally relate. My normal cloud that I have worked hard to shrink over years, grew with a thunderstorm of a vengeance. I'm just now starting to get better. I watched a lot of Queer Eye: More than a Makeover so yeah those guys at least got me in the shower. I hope you're feeling better now
Load More Replies...What does he think we did during the pandemic? Just sitting around doing nothing? We hardly had time to sleep with work, housework and homeschooling, all left to be done by us.
I don't have kids but the other 2 YES! Some didn't have the ability to stay home and not work. I was worked in my office then from home/her home the last bit since my boss was set to retire (lawyer). Courts didn't shut down just did hearings via zoom. I didn't work at my current job but they only had two days off to figure out how to work in the office w/o contact (accounting/tax prep).
Load More Replies...I came out alive despite being used as COVID bait by my employers. I was the only one forced to go in. (Despite not being essential).
Thanks Patrick, I came out of the pandemic without being like you so I'd say I did pretty well.
I'm a postal worker. I still had to go to work every day. I actually put in more hours during the pandemic than I did prior to it. Not counting the four weeks I had to take off because I was sick. With COVID.
JR shared the history of 'The Best of LinkedIn' account on Twitter with us. "Back in 2018, I was an Account Executive for a SaaS company in San Francisco. I had a boss who was a dinosaur—his idea of a good follow-up to a meeting was mailing laminated copies of the deck we presented to the prospect after the fact. The phrase, 'Stop by Kinko's' was uttered a few times in my short tenure there (Kinko's was dropped by FedEx in 2008, ten years prior)."
A large part of JR's job at the time was cold calling on LinkedIn. "I was already dissatisfied with my role, my career, and the company, so spending a few hours a day on LinkedIn just about pushed me over the edge," he was very candid. "I began seeing the first inklings of these so-called 'LinkedInfluencers' and started screenshotting their posts and sharing them on my personal Twitter account. Once those gained traction, I decided to create a dedicated Twitter account for it, and thus, @BestOfLinkedin was born."
Bored Panda was curious how JR would describe the professional network's culture. He told us that 'toxic' gets thrown around too often lately. "I would say the best way to describe LinkedIn's culture is 'downright demented.' It's just a giant back-patting circle/echo chamber where people aren't even telling a version of the truth anymore," he stressed that the amount of fiction on LI is utterly absurd these days.
The "courage" to say that Black people's lives matter! So Brave! lol

To be fair, I've replied to my own stupid messages when inebriated too.
no then she backflipped and THEN everyone clapped
Load More Replies...What she meant to write is “ My kid asked to borrow $20 and I said no so she took my credit card.”
"And spent $1400. I had to teach her that she'll be making payments of $70 a month for the rest of her life at 17.9% interest."
Load More Replies...Although some 14 year-olds are well-versed enough to understand these concepts and apply them, the fact the it's made by a 'Top 100 Most Powerful Woman Canada' and 'Bestselling Author' as well as the fact it's on LINKEDIN, reduces all of it's credibility.
Of all the things that never happened this never happened the most
So the kid figured out how to get on her parents’ bank account AND credit cards at 14, and Mom is too dumb to realize she’s been had. Wait until the smarter parents of one of the kids this girl is clueing into this scam sees right through it and word gets back to this mother.
Especially when she told how she indoctrinated all of her young friends!! Lol
Load More Replies...Guess I’m old. My dad took me to the bank and opened a savings account for me when I was about 5 or 6. I didn’t have to do any convincing, But, boy was I proud of having my very own pass book & when I got to go to the bank and present it to the teller along with the proceeds from my piggy bank to make a deposit made me feel very grown up, indeed.. Banking today is far more convenient, but it’s kind of a shame kids don’t get to experience that sort of thing anymore is kind of a shame.
"It's unoriginal sellouts who regurgitate corporate buzzwords and stories of incredible business acumen in an effort to game the LinkedIn algorithm and try to hide the fact that there isn't a single thing that's interesting about them. And nobody will call them out, for fear of losing their job or it blowing back on them professionally. The entire platform lacks accountability, which is insane because its intention initially was to be just that," JR pointed out that very few people are willing to put their careers on the line for the sake of calling out downright lies.
That's not to say that LinkedIn doesn't have its upsides. The founder of 'The Best of LinkedIn' said that the professional network is a "terrific place to read business news, as well as to find jobs, recruit talent, and network with people in your industry.
"It's a valuable business development tool but sadly it's been watered down by these self-proclaimed 'Linkedinfluencers' and their BS success stories. LinkedIn could improve the user experience drastically by focusing on moderating these posts and suppressing them when they don't offer anything valuable," he suggested how the platform could change for the better.
I wonder if they also have the lipstick requirement for the men they interview...
Took the words out of my mouth! And has she ever considered the CRAZY idea that not all women wear makeup?? I never put on lipstick...especially not to go to work. I dont think I need it. She is basically telling women, "You and your natural face are not enough! You MUST smear this oil-based face paint on your lips to be employable." How disgusting, especially coming from a woman. SMH.
Load More Replies...Does she have the same standards for men? Way to make yourself look sexist girlbaws
She's too busy taking care of the kids you don't mind to try and dress up for you. She's not trying to date you, she's trying to feed said children.
Ah yes, of course! Lipstick is so much more important than politeness. *takes note*
And so much more important than being qualified!

“IBD Analyst”. My first thought was he worked in the lab of a doctor who specializes in Irritable Bowel Disease. Then I realized HE is the irritable bowel—-and I bet the angry inch as well—-because no one’s swiping right on his Tinder profile. OK, smart guy, who’s the only constant in this equation? Hint: not the women, and not the algorithms.
Ah yes I can see it now, most likely talks purely about himself and his successes, quotes several times how much he makes a year and then would probably ask to split the bill. probably treats the wait staff like turd and when he's told no thanks probably goes off on a wobbler stating he's perfect, how can you turn down someone who earns $xxxxxx a year. 10/10 absolute melt
This is the 4th horrible post from a guy who's wearing a tie in his profile picture. I sense a theme...

Oh, I was just talking about that kind of lowkey fascist guys the other day. Here is one. So deeply entangled in his toxic sexist law-of-the-jungle fantasy that he completely fails to consider a woman might be more able to defend her disabled boyfriend than the opposite.
"If the only reason you're posting on LinkedIn is to show off a picture of yourself with a story about how you were called 'too pretty' to be in business then your post will be taken down. If you aren't sharing anything educational or valuable, and instead are attributing incredible management advice from your FIVE YEAR OLD, your account will be banned. Sadly, I wish this was an easy fix, but LinkedIn has replicated every other social media platform and become another runaway train of trash," he said that he's not holding on to much hope that LI will improve in the future.
"LinkedInfluencers, for how much 'expertise' they have, have some of the thinnest skins on the Internet. Because they 'create' their content strictly for LinkedIn, where nobody criticizes or calls them out, they lose their minds when an account like @BestOfLinkedin does. Personally, I've created content for over a decade now in the forms of comedy, podcasting videos, and articles," JR told Bored Panda.
"When you create anything for the Internet, there's going to be 50% or more people who hate it. So you have to know that criticism comes with the territory. But when a LinkedInfluencer sees me poke fun at them for @BestofLinkedin? Oftentimes they don't know what to do with themselves. Usually, they'll try to doxx me or get me fired. Good luck, I'm a freelance Creative Director and don't have a boss. I get paid to write things for social media and more. So yeah, I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to. If you don't like what's being said about you on the Internet, the proper response isn't to take your ball and run home. Or worse, take your ball and run and tell your parents."
The body language does not reflect someone 'searching and longing for a solution'. And why the heck would your dad be taking pictures of you while his other daughter is in intensive care?

Oh, for fuucks sake. Is she going for the "Lara Craft" vibe or the "I'm so obvious it hurts"?
"Hmmm.... how can I tell people about my tragedy and make them feel sympathy for me but ALSO show how great and insta-worthy I look in my active gear?" Give me a break.
Yep, your almost two year old had such an enlightened learning experience AND built that sandcastle?? You really expect someone to believe that??
That poor kid will grow up never living up to daddy’s ridiculous expectations
Load More Replies...When my son was almost two years old, he still ate sand. But at least I'm not an idiot like Sean.
I'm not convince this chap has ever been around a two year old. If he had he may have modified the story slightly.
My regret is that I read the whole thing, when it was obvious where this was going right from the get go.
Some people are dumber than their 2-year-olds for expecting people to believe that.
He couldn't figure out how to bring water without dropping most of it, yet could build an elaborate castle, requiring fine motor skills, design & artistic skills and proper tools? This guy could only dream of being able to make one himself, never mind his son!
Why do the idiots lie so much.. what's to gain. Your 2yr old probably ate the sand, and that's about it..

If you translate "I'm bored" into French, it becomes "I bore myself," which is much more accurate.
JR’s ‘The Best of LinkedIn’ social media project is a great archive showing how even the most seasoned professionals can feel insecure about themselves. It’s a slippery slope when you start making up stories for clicks.
Don’t even get us started on how ridiculous it is to try and motivate people while humble-bragging in between the lines. Look, nobody says that LinkedIn has to be super serious all the time (we actually rather enjoy some of the fun, quirky, and artistic posts that fly across our feeds from time to time), however, it’s downright embarrassing when industry veterans go all out and think they’re the next big ‘self-help’ guru.
Now, that’s not to say that motivation and finding joy within and beyond the rat race aren’t important (they are!), but it all really comes down to how you try and motivate people. Copying someone else’s post, borrowing someone else’s ideas with a few small tweaks, downright faking entire experiences just so you have something to feed your followers doesn’t reflect well on you.
And then I realized that the water on my nightstand had turned into wine. Or the opposite, I don't remember the timing well.
And then I realized that the acid I took an hour earlier just kicked in and it wasn't my daughter I was carrying, it was an angry raccoon trying to break free. I released him. #bethechange

Amazing how he uses so many words and still can't make a readable sentence.
It speaks less about you as a ‘leader’ and more about your insecurities and desire for attention. If you’re feeling creatively bankrupt, it’s perfectly fine to take some time off: get off social media. Take a break. Fight that burnout! It’s way better than flooding LinkedIn with trite stories and ‘inspirational’ stories that make people’s eyes roll. And yes, we might be low-key judging anyone who writes, “So true!!!” in the comments.
If you genuinely enjoy a post, good for you. But like it or not, there’s just way too much pretense online. Especially on LinkedIn where you pretty much are what you say you are.
LinkedIn does have its upsides, though. When you make an account and polish up your profile, you’re putting yourself out there for recruiters to see. You become far more visible. You can find jobs that you like way more easily. And (probably best of all) you can actually connect with professionals from all around the world.
You even had to ask? Show me the money. F* the followers. (Sorry, I got riled up.)
I dunno....if you can guarantee me that each of my followers will give me $2, I'll take the followers!

Jeremy is saying he wants kid to work for him making cold calls to people. Jeremy is thinking about child labor.

What’s worse is Jeremy here probably considers anyone below the age of 30 a “kid”.
Load More Replies..."You can't coach hustle"?! The kid was literally hustling trying to get paid for real work that isn't illegal. Sir, you suck!
Hate to tell you bro, but you just tried to "coach hustle." And of course there's the grifting off child labor thing. But I guess you'd pat yourself on the back and say "you can't coach child exploitation."
If a kid is trying to do work to sell me something, I always buy. Basketball team car wash? Yes please! Lukewarm powdered lemonade from a plastic cup you dropped in the grass? I'll take two! I like supporting kids learning life skills.
Need some advice on publishing a book, learning to program, or how to raise your EQ stats? Well, there are tons of people who’d be happy to help you, as long as you’re polite and genuine. Of course, there are some pros who would ignore or even look down on someone asking for advice, but hey, those are the rules of social networks, right
You’re bound to get some jerks in every community. In our experience, the vast majority of people using LinkedIn have been phenomenal and super friendly. Then again, we haven’t chatted with many folks who thrive on bragging.

Ok, Kate, let's start with the "What's the purpose of detox or cleansing when you have functional kidneys and liver?"
I worked in vitamins/supplements for 2.5 years and I wanted to slap every customer who asked me where the detox/cleanse section was and which ones I recommended. The customers who asked were usually perfectly healthy-looking, normal-ish-weight 30-year-old women. (We had a huge detox/cleanse section, sadly.) Yes, drinking liquified bentonite clay is totally going to solve all your problems.
Load More Replies...Wow - even I don't despise goat-milk that much, that I break down over anything else... to be fair - I also don't love it that much, that I willingly would live of it 8 days in a row...
What was even the point of this post? "That it's okay to break down"? Girl: you ain't seen NOTHING if you think THAT was a break down. So please kindly f**k off.
Total BS! We have kidneys and a liver, which make cleansing / detoxing totally unnecessary. Eating and drinking healthily will obviously be good for. Unfortunately these cleanse/detox regimes are often quite unhealthy, with either too much sugar or too small a variety of nutrients.
"Such courage" "Such inspiration" this s**t makes me want to drink bleach smoothies.
Is the point of this just for her to rub in people's faces how much she earns? I'd rather slap her in the face with a salmon. Condescending cow.
I want the lives of these people. That wouldn't even be worth discussing in my life, let alone posting. Goats milk and salmon, your life must be so hard! And what is a Client Lifecycle Manager???
Career coach Jermaine Murray, from JupiterHR, previously told Bored Panda that ‘turbo-charging’ your LinkedIn profile can lead to greater visibility and success. In his opinion, first impressions matter. However, they might not be overly long-lasting. That means that if you make a mistake on your LI profile, it’s not the end of the world: you can recover from this.
Confirm for us school teachers - that does not look like a kid's handwriting or vocabulary...
She probably wouldn't label a drawing she made of herself with her first name "Sofie", rather than "Me' while labeling her father as "You" either.

Nick doesn't know that. He's been strictly emailing/texting his outgoing mail since that time in the 90s when you still had to lick stamps.

Or just write the note and use your legs/wheelchair to go to the post office and mail it like the olden days
You do know most places still have mail pickup and delivery right at the building, don’t you? There’s even a mailbox at the end of your driveway. Just be sure to put the little flag up so the mail person knows to pick up. So no drive to the post office is necessary unless you don’t have stamps.
This just sounds really awkward. If someone did this, I will think the person is weird. Just send me a dang email or text.

From the career coach’s perspective, LinkedIn is a “super powerful and useful tool for surfacing and connecting” with other people. LI can handle most of your professional needs. However, interactions elsewhere, on the net and in real-life, can also be useful for your career.
“I’ve found LinkedIn to be more effective after I’ve built rapport with people on a different platform (like Twitter) or at a networking event (pre-Covid), as it’s a great way to stay in touch,” the career expert said.
Shortly after the restaurant "went silent" they all burst into applause. The restaurant owner then shouted, "drinks on the house!" and loaded them all up in a fleet of limousines to drive everyone to his palatial estate where they all lived happily ever after.
Spilling food on yourself is so embarrassing that the entire restaurant was staring? I think someone has a persecution complex
Jesus Christ, he's disappeared up his own a*****e. Unless someone starts slinging food at me, I don't pay attention to anyone in a restaurant.
I find that often times stories about people being judgmental are posted by people who are very judgmental themselves. I'm willing to bet that even if this was a true story, Everyone in that restaurant who weren't the father and son didn't give rats a*s about the old man spilling himself and were just going about their lives.
“Patrick, Founder at Patrick Company” tells us everything we need to know about Patrick.
Then embarrass your dear old dad for the world to see. With photo! Fool.
Patrick probably stole someone else’s photo. I think he was created by bacterial binary fission and doesn’t actually have a dad.

What kind of parent allows their 10-year-old to “repair small engines” and take apart an entire lawnmower by themselves? When I was 10 my dad would let me hold the tools and hand them to him and that’s about it XD He taught me how to do a lot of repairs (car engines mostly) but didn’t want me touching the dangerous stuff or gasoline by myself… at least not when I was 10!
While the lawnmower story is ridiculous, I will say that there are 10 yr old kids who are are totally capable of working on small engines.

Hahaha this is RAMPANT on FB AND IG right now too. Almost always a surgeon, recently it's orthopedic surgeons, they are almost traveling oversea doing volunteer work WITH kids in tow, and are widowed or horrible divorce. They want to "spend the time to get to know you better" and spend an enormous amount of time trying to woo you. When the reality is they are probably part of the Nigerian/African scammers and will either eventually ask for money (bitcoin usually bc there's no way to get that back) or some other financial help. I get a lot of them, and try to keep them on the hook for a long as possible or until I get bored bc its one less other person they can scam out of money. It's men and women as well. I always report them too obviously but they just recycle to a new profile. I'm not on ANY dating sites they just target the messaging aspects of social media.

how does he type, and masturbate to pictures of himself at the same time?????
How does he know he shared a smile with the lady BEFORE he made it to the window? Are there two windows at a Starbucks drive-through that are manned by the same person?
considering how condescending jokes like that feel, and how tiring they are when a million customers before you have repeated them, i would definitely say so. very obvious justin has never worked retail a day in his life if he thinks niceties aren't purely bc we aren't allowed to batter customers over the head for taking up valuable time during rush hours like he was in, trying out his stand up comedy. he's also clearly never interacted w a woman before, if he thinks tired, boring one liners from men make us drop our panties and throw out pumpkin loaves. like we don't deliberately avoid giving any positive reception in case it's misread and we now have a stalking harasser screaming that the pumpkin loaf was an invitation into our bed and we're playing games

There is no way an overworked Starbucks barista laughed at THAT joke during morning rush.

Ok, I get the general idea here: "Hey, since the gov pays you, why don't you come to work for me for free?" Still, using that free time to gain experience isn't such a bad idea. It might be useful once the checks runs out. But then again, that means bosses are willing to get your services for free, but NOT if they have to put you on payroll.
You literally can not work for a private organization for free, and you can’t be an unpaid intern and do any real work that a paid employee does.

Well, finishing 4 year college in 6 years with 2.6 GPA does tell us something about your character.

You can't teach psychopathy or sociopathy, Matt. Besides, that's not quite how it works. There is ZERO fear, no voice inside saying we can't do it, the voice is saying 'How do I do it without getting caught'. Once it's done the voice changes to 'Do it again, do it again!', only this time it wasn't as thrilling, so we end up chasing that high, often taking higher risks or pushing the boundaries to make it more exciting. In our single mindedness our world starts to crumble until we either gain control and fight the addiction or fail in a dramatic fashion and destroy ourselves, either way, our habit will end.
