“The State Of LinkedIn” Twitter Page Exposes The Cringiest And Most Out-Of-Touch Posts On LinkedIn (30 Pics)
Interview
Once upon a time, LinkedIn was a professional resource used to virtually track our career trajectories. It was an easy way to make connections with fellow professionals and allow companies to check out where you’re working and what you’ve accomplished recently. It’s not technically a social media site, however somewhere along the line, it started transitioning into a place where successful (we’ll use that word generously) people decided to start flaunting their wealth and sharing incredibly cringey posts…
That’s where The State of LinkedIn Twitter account comes into play. The page calls the site "a breeding ground for lies & brown-nosing", so down below, we’ve gathered some of the most hilarious tweets exposing false and ridiculous posts from LinkedIn that might give you secondhand embarrassment. Keep reading to also find interviews we were lucky enough to receive from the creator of The State of LinkedIn and LinkedIn Business Strategist, Salina Yeung.
Be sure to upvote the posts you find most atrocious, and let us know in the comments if you’ve ever encountered cringey or downright false claims on LinkedIn. Then, if you’d like to check out another Bored Panda article detailing what a cesspool LinkedIn has become in recent years, you can find our last post featuring The State of LinkedIn right here!

I work in a clinic that houses several specialties (like Cardiology, Podiatry, pediatrics,family med, urgent care, etc) and we all use gifs, emojis, funny pics, hearts, whatever. It's always hilarious to see a doc that you know to be 100% serious and no nonsense use a Dora the Explorer gif to let us know he's found a set of strep tests "we did it!" Lol

Since when are they not professional? I mean, obviously not when first meeting a client or perspective employer, but once a relationship is established they are ok. Definitely ok peer-to-peer in same organization. The English language is all about tone, relying on only words can make something sound harsh or abrupt when that was not the writer's or poster's intention.

Right?

I have to admit there is a cynical part of me that wonders whether they are partially motivated by the fact that a pregnant teammate is likely to cost them more than 4k in lost productivity during pregnancy and child rearing, additional medical expenses, medical expenses of a child they now insure, and potentially losing the employee to becoming a stay-at-home parent. I hope not, but...

IDK how I feel about this. One one hand I commend the company for assisting women to obtain access to safe abortions. But to receive the $4k reimbursement that would require disclosure of private medical information to the employer which could still subject the employee to unforseen harassment and discrimination internally if someone in the company is pro-life. I feel it's an invasion of privacy either way
To gain some insight into the wild world of LinkedIn, we reached out to the creator of The State of LinkedIn on Twitter. They told us that this successful account originally started as a spin off to Didn’t Happen of the Year Awards, which we’ve also covered on Bored Panda before. “We got so many LinkedIn based submissions, then over the years it’s gained traction from there!” It certainly has. Since this account was launched in March 2017, it has amassed over 240k followers, and with the unlimited content LinkedIn has to provide, it’s likely to only keep growing.
But oddly enough, the person behind The State of LinkedIn told us that they don’t really use the site. “I have a profile, but I would say I open the app maybe once or twice a month. Considering the stuff that gets posted, it's probably for the best that I don't use it,” they added with a smile.

Actually, this isn’t quite how the story ended. I know because this was my third cousins, second wife’s neighbor when she was in preschool. The dude got called back and went, that is correct. However-as sometimes happens in these instances-the dog was not the interviewer. Turns out the dog was rabbid and attacked and ate the interviewer just minutes before the dude showed up. In the end, he lost the bridge he was living under and got to live in an old abandoned warehouse,in a better part of town, which was much closer to the soup kitchen.

Load More Replies...Considering the fact that LinkedIn is a treasure trove of cringey content, we were curious if the page’s creator has any favorite posts that they’ve ever shared from the “professional” site. “I find the posts that involve stuff their kids have said to be the best,” they shared. “The fact that people believe that a young child is interested in world politics or what goes on on Wall Street amazes me.”
And when it comes to why people post such outlandish things online, they hypothesize that it’s all a tactic to gain a larger following. “I think people started making their posts extravagant for the likes and comments, essentially more comments and likes pushes it to the algorithm,” they explained. “That way, their profile gets pushed out to a wider audience.”

I apparently think differently too, because I thought "thinks totally differently" mean that the son disagreed with the parent's assessment that he was on track to be an inventor or billionaire. Also, love how they highlight how those two are kind of mutually exclusive. I mean, billionaires aren't usually the people doing the inventing, they are the ones bossing around the inventors and figuring out how to profit the most off of them.

Salina also believes that we could all be utilizing the professional networking site. “LinkedIn is truly for everybody,” she told Bored Panda. “Less than 5% of LinkedIn members are sharing content on a weekly basis (yup, 95% are lurkers), which means an opportunity for you to dominate the news feed with your marketing message to reach business decision makers.” This also tells us that we can’t judge the whole site on the posts of a small percentage of people. Perhaps the state of LinkedIn isn’t so bad after all!

Salina also noted that she rarely ever sees cringey or untrue posts on LinkedIn, perhaps because she’s an expert on the platform and has curated her feed to show her what she’s actually interested in, but she understands that they can appear. Apparently, LinkedIn is the most trusted social network though, according to Business Insider. But if you’re unsure of where to even start when it comes to using LinkedIn, today is your lucky day. Salina was willing to share a few of her dos and don’ts for LinkedIn with us, so these may help you view the page as a useful tool rather than a necessary evil full of outlandish posts.

When it comes to Salina’s “don’ts” for using LinkedIn, she warns users not to use a boring headline with nothing but a simple job title. “Use ‘third person’ point of view to write your summary,” she added. It’s also not ideal to have hasty work experiences without detailed job descriptions and multimedia. Your profile should also have skills endorsements, recommendations and a customized URL. “Think of your LinkedIn profile as your digital handshake, where your potential employer, client or business partner is going to get a read of who you are,” Salina says.

My son wanted a Nintendo switch. He said he would sell lemonade to get the money. I honestly didn’t think he’d make more than a few bucks, but I helped him set up and kept an eye on him while he did his thing. Little s**t made more in two hours than I was making in 8. He got his switch. I don’t know what I’m going to do with him when he’s older, but I think he’ll do alright.

I think you mean you make less in eight hours than your kid does in two. Not a flex.

Jake is a well known TV presenter in the U.K. he has worked across the biggest TV stations for the past 15 years or so. He’s promoting his podcast ‘cause it’ll be in his commitment to the production team. I understand that from outside the U.K. it just looks like a random bloke showing off or flexing, but it’s not really that, it’s a media personality being their usual self promoting selves 😀

I assure you that your podcast has “impacted” no none. “Impact” is impacting our language skills in an impactful way and no one remains unimpacted. We have a rich, expressive language. Get a vocabulary.

… And “high performance”, I take it, is the best possible thing a human being can be? The shining holy grail we should all strive towards? If that is how we should evaluate ourselves as a person, I have some questions (I wouldn’t want to get it wrong, in case it’d make me low preformance). What is it we should be performing? And for whom? How do you know if you’re performing high and not low or just adequate? Is there a point system or app that calculates your median performance score? Are there different systems for different situations and occupations? I’d ask more, but ignorance might affect my performance level.

When you self publish you have to order so many copies. Since nobody's buying this self help garbage the only way you can get these birdcage liners out of your mom's basement is to walk around handing them out to homeless people to use as shoe insulation.
Graham Hackett 3 years ago
Of course a person would keep an extra copy or two of their book on them. If you wrote a book why would you not keep extra copies to give away? You don't sell more books by not telling people you wrote one.
Regardless of what you do for a living, LinkedIn can be an invaluable resource. But if you go on the site to scroll through posts by LinkedIn-fluencers and various professionals trying to flaunt their wealth, you might leave with a bad taste in your mouth. Keep upvoting the photos you find particularly cringey, and feel free to let us know your thoughts on LinkedIn in the comments below. Are you an avid user of the site, or do you avoid it at all costs? Then if you’d like to check out Bored Panda’s last article on The State of LinkedIn, you can find that right here!

I started following her when she was Foreign Secretary and Russia invaded Ukraine, just in case I needed to be forewarned of a nuclear war. Then proceeded to get the standard LinkedIn message of "Congratulate Liz Truss on starting a new position of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at 10 Downing Street". Disappointed that she didn't post the standard "I'm happy to share that I'm starting a new position" post :(

Leadership, at times, requires knowing when one is in over one’s head and step down from one’s position. Liz Truss did the right thing to recognize her mistakes and rectify them.

Meet Michael. He is struggling with his mental health so badly that he felt the only way to stop that suffering was to end his life, thereby devastating his family. Rather than being a decent human and helping Michael I took his photo while he was lying on the ground and published it to my social media account because what's the point of doing a good deed if there's no proof and you can't brag about it?

That is what it looks like when you irritate your eyes to make them tear up. When you actually cry, your eyes are swollen, because tears collect there, your nose runs a bit, because tears flow that way as well, and a lot more of your face is wet. When your eyes a re bit red, and there is an artfully left single tear track, that means that you irritated your eyes, either rubbing them a bit, or with something like an onion. Also, what Squee She wrote.

"Wake up the kids and *then* shower?" was exactly my thought. I absolutely believe it takes almost two hours to get the kids ready, though.

Obvious ridiculousness aside - how do you type while using a desk like this? I can barely tap my phone screen to change music while walking on a treadmill from all the bouncing around my steps cause.
Jakub 3 years ago
Quite easily actually, your arms rest on the desk so you can type more or less the same way as you would sitting down. Using touchpad rather than a mouse it's just a matter of getting used to it. I used to average 30k steps during a working day with mine - I'd only stop walking if I was chairing a meeting.
