People already use LinkedIn like Facebook so why not throw in a little Tinder in there.
C’mon Microsoft, it’s not like LinkedIn is really that useful for finding jobs anymore.
They also have puzzles now for some reason…
They email me a new puzzle every single day. Like, fuck off with that shit, you are a job board and nothing more, start fucking acting like one.
But line must go up? See, you get people hooked on the puzzles, then you charge for them! It’s sure fire.
LinkedIn is turning into a hot mess of Microslop.
whomever is using LinkedIn for a dating app must be seriously desperate
this is sad. I’m gen x, immersed in computers simce age 13, and i feel I’m no longer in a world in which i can function.
reality has moved into dystopian cyber fantasy more than even i thouht could really happen.
