94 LinkedIn Posts So Painfully Tone-Deaf That They Ended Up Being Screenshotted And Roasted Online
Work can be pretty hard to come by these days, so the idea of a networking platform that lets you connect with others in your industry and puts your profile in front of recruiters is hardly something to sneer at. But LinkedIn has come a long way since its early days as a straightforward professional networking site, and many of us have resigned ourselves to the fact that it’s no longer just a place to make connections or look for jobs.
It’s also gained a reputation as a hotbed of humblebrags, tone-deaf takes, and posts that read like they were written by people who’ve never touched grass. Fortunately, others online are documenting the platform’s most unhinged moments. From wildly out-of-touch musings to bizarre corporate “bro-etry” written as though the author has unlocked some profound secret to success, these examples show just how cringeworthy LinkedIn can get.

Hired And Fired On The Same Day. Can’t Be More Lunatic Than This
Actually, leadership is very much about fairness. Without it your team doesn't trust you, and you can only drive them, rather than lead them. Leadership is _not_ about 'making hard calls', which in this instance means behaving callously and ignoring moral obligations and implicit commitments, all to prove you've got a big, managerial size wi11ie.

Absolutely Tone Deaf
I've been following this person for a while on LinkedIn. She's a workaholic lunatic who who pushes her desire to work all the time on to her following. We should not be pushing a culture that drives us to work all the time, especially while we're in the hospital recovering from an emergency or on vacation with our families. This just drove me insane.

As usual bro missing the point - it’s about how much is ethical to spend and the message it sends to society. pure selfishness. feed poor people instead.
Yeah. Nah. The "I have a right to spend spend spend, display opulences in public, and remind everyone I'm effing rich and will do what I want and I'm better than them" routine is not just getting old, Jeff, it's a dinosaur....
