Linkedin is the utopia of liberal social media.
You're compared to all your peers, in the entire industry #globalization
You're never not applying for a new position. #gottagetthemgains
Work/life coaches with any influence have their followers looking like guppies, mouth open, pushing their way to the front, just waiting for their food. I've never seen boots licked to a polish before but got.damn. #trickledown
All in grindcore, no time off, work life balance? work IS life. #hereditarykneepads #itsnitslaveryifitsachoice
It's all the worst parts of work and none of the fun of social media. I don't know why anyone uses Linkedin at all. There are better ways at self-flagellation.
Nothing you listed is liberal or left wing about LinkedIn, I mean I do fucking hate it too and you're kind of forced to use it if you want to reach the upper echelons of corporate America and some companies will straight up just make you one without your permission which in turn will make your personal information available to anyone with a search engine.
LinkedIn is used to get jobs and chat with former coworkers. You are just looking at the public posts. It's like how Facebook is a cesspool publicly, but your private chats with your network may be normal.
