This is a funny follow on twitter.
Yep, mentioned that.

I’ve muted most people on LinkedIn. It’s utter dross. Stopped replying to requests too. On a positive note I got my current job through it, so that’s alright I guess.
I like that Twitter account.

My old work made me get it and I look at it about once a month.
Somebody is usually celebrating five years with some media company, but I don’t congratulate them.

I’ve got jobs through LinkedIn so it’s a necessary evil, all I’ve been able to do is unfollow people every time I see something stupid.

Me too.
The current job I have, I phoned up to get a reference to apply for a job I didn’t want.
Person I phoned said, ‘of course I’ll write you a reference but do you just want a job instead? that way you don’t need to bother doing an interview’

Did one in 2000. On a computer!
About a year back when all economic activity stopped worldwide, I’d see other freelance designers on Linkedin posting utter bullshit like “Super busy over here at Freelance Towers with lots of large projects on the go. I’m looking to get 2 or 3 more involved, so DM me your day rate and availability for the next 6 weeks”.
It’s always Towers. Oh fuck off.
No you have no projects on the go, just like everybody else. Shut the fuck up.
No, you’re not taking on people for these imaginary projects, shut the fuck up.
You’re just fishing to find out what your colleagues and competitors charge and if they’re available. Twat, now fuck off.
Doing what I do, if you’re busy on Linkedin, you’re quiet at work. No two ways about it.

Yep, but you’re in Spain for now - you could be stuck in Wicklow!
the thing that gets on my nerves most about linkedin is when people use ‘humbled’ instead of ‘honoured’ which happens anytime someone makes it through 12 rounds of interviews to make it sound like they’ve been chosen by god to head up marketing for 123shoes.com.

Got my new job through LinkedIn.
That would be a good plan though, on the way into the interview get someone to drop a bag of marbles or something in front of you and see how you react.
If it’s a dog even better.
Likewise
I’ve just turned up to a site meeting. An hour early. Clever boy.
