Hey! LinkedIn is useful for me, I just got laid off. And two weeks prior to my lay off, I got reached out by one Rep asking me for meeting and we just met and they offered me a contract. So LinkedIn is pretty useful for networking.
Whoever decided to give it a dedicated keybinding is insane
That actually exists? Mental
Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + L in Windows for Linkedin
This is by default, and I don’t think there’s an easy way to turn it off.
Someone built a shortcut to a job hunting site into the OS itself. Someone who works on the OS and for the company that made the OS. I can’t think of any greater advertisement that working for Microsoft is awful than the cry for help that is building a permanent link to a job hunting website.
I mean Microsoft owns the job hunting website lol
Holy shit, this is not even a joke
Wtf wild, just tried it. Thanks, I’ll never use this.
LinkedIn - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + L Word - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + W Excel - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + X PowerPoint - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + P Outlook - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + O Microsoft Teams - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + T OneDrive - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + D OneNote - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + N Yammer - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + Ywtf is a yammer?
You better have all five fingers these days…
Feels like Emacs
In 2000, Windows put itself in the trash.
The OG dumpster diver.
That’s more or less the time I started using Linux.
I maintain a Linkedin account for business, so I look into the account once in a while to connect to certain people.
A while back, I went into the account settings to lock it down … no notifications, alerts or announcements about anything … a week later, I still get alerts about some dumb thing from this stupid site
What do people use instead of LinkedIn? I’m OOTL
Nothing. As is, LinkedIn doesn’t provide anything that most people actually need, so you’re safe to ditch it.
I tripled my salary thanks to LinkedIn. Wasn’t even looking, just incoming reach outs. It has made a huge difference in my life. Literally life changing.
Only reason I’m there. Barely missed a fat job a recruiter got me on. Oh well. She’s still looking out for me.
Plus, they send loads of job offers. Never know when I’ll win the lottery.
At least in IT, it’s the best place to look for jobs. I’ve changed twice in the last ten years, both LinkedIn recruiters (one external, one internal).
Plus most of my acquaintances are colleagues and ex-colleagues, so it’s a good way to catch up from time to time (hey, you switched to XYZ, how’s life going, wanna grab a coffee).
If you follow the right groups you get interesting news, memes and discussions.
Final benefit, the amount of politics is MUCH lower than Facebook, Twitter or Lemmy.
Unless you signed some exclusivity deal (rare) reach out to other recruiters and apply to job offers directly, good luck!
Unfortunately there really isn’t a viable option for most people. Maybe there are alternatives depending on your field and your geographical location (I know they use something else a lot in Germany), but for most people you’re really forced to use LinkedIn or you’re potentially doing a huge disservice to your career.
Which is the main source of hatred for LinkedIn: most people would rather not be using it but they stay there for their careers. Others use it as a platform to promote their crazy ideas, again in an effort to make them more employable or reach out to new professional connections. It’s a harsh world, but each of these insane posts makes that website a tiny bit more unbearable.
I don’t use it, but I’ve seen the video that a woman posted on LinkedIn of her sig heiling to prove that Elon didn’t make the “same gesture.” I’m convinced some people are just using it like regular social media, even if it makes them unemployable.
I deleted my LinkedIn almost a decade ago and am doing just fine. Really don’t think it matters as much as people think.
If you’re relying on LinkedIn for career growth you’re doing it wrong.
I can imagine. Is it getting Facebook level bad?
I think it’s surpassed FB, at this point.
I miss when software was vaporwave pixel art
It’s crazy how they kept switch the number and color of arrows.
Somebody is justifying their sorry existence by making changes nobody asked for.
Consumers asked for it. Nothing much changes now, but people would complain about the whole OS looking too cartoony, too sterile, whatever. Style changed fast back then.
Are you marketing by any chance as they have their fair share of pushing idiotic, moronic changes nobody asked for.
nice touch on the 2000er Icon :)
95 was peak icon
i guffawed
