Just what I want from a platform designed for networking and job seeking: games.
It’s pretty on the nose for the current job market though. It’s all just games
LinkedIn games make as much sense as zoos on airplanes
I’m sick of these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!
You win the internet today
To be fair, airplanes feel like zoos.
Sometimes smell like them too
But a zoo on a airplane does make sense.
Cringe posts on LinkedIn soon about how games inspired them to be achievers at work.
It’s already terrible with memes posts
Yeah, I don’t understand why anyone posts there. LinkedIn is for finding jobs, not actually communicating. You just want to have a network so you have a better chance of having a connection with people who are hiring.
The game: looking for a new job without your boss finding out
Boss: Why are you on LinkedIn?
Me: I’m just checking up on my Farmville.
Boss: Oh okay. Carry on.
Hmm…
What in the hell is this timeline, even. For real.
Not only are you a sucker for giving them all your personal contacts a la Facebook, but now they can get your gaming info as well? Please fuck off.
Nice coincidence I deleted my LinkedIn account today.
Congratulations 🤝
Because what LinkedIn really needed was Xbox ecosystem integration. /s
I like how they say “LinkedIn” is getting in on gaming when their parent company (Microsoft) fucking owns the god damned Xbox.
Can linkedin go under. Can musk buy LinkedIn?
So when are they adding the cringy Farmville-equivalent type games to it? Make sure to help your boss farm their crops or you might risk getting fired! :-)
