If you've ever used LinkedIn out of necessity but thought it was a shallow dump of disreputable content, this Twitter account is for you. Crap On LinkedIn is dedicated to exposing all the lies, toxic-positivity, and straight-up fiction they find on the platform, and they've been making quite a name for themselves recently doing it, too.

"I used to work in sales and we would always share cringy posts around the team," Kirsty Callaghan, founder of RicochetB2B and the main person behind Crap On LinkedIn, told Bored Panda. "We would always wonder why there wasn't [at the time] an online curation of these posts so I put a Twitter account together. It was quite tough finding the posts to share regularly but now we have dozens of suggestions daily from our audience."

Continue scrolling and check out some of the best (or worst?) posts they have tweeted so far.

Since you're obviously smarter than the interviewer it would take you 3 months max. before the interviewer would have worked under you. But since you declined the offer, you proved you're not that smart after all.

LinkedIn was launched in 2003, and Callaghan has also used it. Mainly, for networking and job hunting. "I find it to be quite a poor platform, personally, considering the rich data opportunities on offer. For example, when it was bought by Microsoft, I was convinced they were going to add some feature rich CRM based tools where you could record calls, conversations and information about connections in real time... It still hasn't been done. The advertising is also hugely expensive and judging by the ads I see, really poorly targeted."

    To Callaghan, crap on LinkedIn is anything that's blatantly dishonest. Think heart-warming recruitment stories where a company hires someone with no skills just because they showed up dripping wet from the rain because they couldn't afford a car. Or posts that are irrelevant in a business environment -- like how cool someone's kid is. As Callaghan put it, all children are amazing, there's no need to make up a story about how they started a business at 4 years old selling lemonade to show off how great your parenting is. Finally, engagement bait. Like tacky videos of a robot built 10 years ago or a cute dog linked to some tedious business analogy.

    "LinkedIn is unfortunately a really boring platform content-wise," Callaghan said. "While people are scrolling around it, they're looking for stuff that's a bit different that they can engage with. There are tons of blogs online telling you how to use the LinkedIn algorithm to your benefit which certainly doesn't help. Things like long, spaced out posts improve a reader's engagement because they're scrolling through it which in turn improves the visibility to other people."

    This is actually a tactic as an auditor, but not for 30 seconds. If your asking someone a tough question just be quite and let them do the talking. Most of the time they'll let the truth slip because silence makes people nervous.

    Callaghan also pointed out that LinkedIn users tend to copy/paste post templates or just the exact same content that they saw viral on the platform, making it so inauthentic, repetitive and cringy.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "People really don't need to resort to posting 'Crap on LinkedIn' to get engagement. How many of those likes and comments result in a sell for that poster? Always ask yourself 'Is this really braggy?' 'Is this false?' 'Do my buyers care about this?' and delete where appropriate," Callaghan added. "In the meantime, if you see your post appear on our feed – take it as a lesson, be a good sport and have a nice day."

    "Misterscooter, sir, what made you stick out for me wasn't the 2.4GPA, 3 years of repeating your senior year, or the 5 failed college courses. It was what you said about anthills and pizza. The anthills tell me that you are a determined worker who will destroy anything in his path for this company. But the pizza toldme that you are also human. You are a good person at heart, and will treat everyone at this company as if they were your family. So i am happy to announce, that, after interviewing 187 promising applicants, you made the cut: Welcome to Nasa"

    Will everyone please notice what company he works for? New York and Company. The cheap crappy retail clothing store that works their employees til they drop and pays them a pittance, even before the wage theft, to do it. And he wants people to work that hard to apply for a job there? And calls himself the “Career Whisperer” to boot? Thinks a lot more of himself than I’ll bet any of his coworkers think of him. Delusional MFer, isn’t he? Sadly, his type is all too typical, especially in the most exploitive industries. Like retail.

    He's very delusional, and I'm sure they're not hiring. NY&C's parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July and all of their retail stores are closing.

    1) 3.7 GPA? Should show you I am able to learn and master new material at a higher level than just and average 2.0 GPA level. 2) Health Sciences Major? Should show you that working at New York and Co is just a b******t placeholder job until something in my (legitimately potentially lucrative and way more necessary than your dress shop) field comes along, at which time I will just walk out of your store with zero notice. 3) Internship at Facebook, Amazon, Google? See answer to Question #2 above. F**k you and your b******t retail job, “Career Whisperer”.

If that doesn't tell you what type of person I am then I have no desire to work for a company that can't see me as a valuable asset. But yeah it's just a piece of paper.

Next thing I know he's scuba diving with a bunch of people, so I'm thinking this will bring me opportunities... but then they all started walking into the desert and Mo picked up mountain climbing.

    Alternatives: after her boss stopped insisting she go home, she calmed down enough to go get a stapler and reattach the mask strand, or looped it through a tiny hole on the side and tied it off, or pointed out it was her boss's fault for not having enough masks to keep employees safe, or... safe

The person who prioritizes work at work and themselves at home is going to come back to work fresh & motivated and not burn out at 43, and that person is going to have a better life AND a better career for it.

    My favourite quote is "No one ever said on their deathbed, I wish I'd spent more time at the office". It will always be wishing they'd spent more time with their family, or travelling, or learning to skydive, etc. I enjoyed my work most of the time, and made a point of doing it well, but it was always mainly a source of income for my real life.

    This is true and not a bad post. Odds are, if you've been at the same job for 3 years, you can leave and get hired doing the same thing for more money elsewhere. While you may be getting between a 2 - 4% raise each year, wage inflation pushes the starting salary higher. Don't be scared of changing jobs just because your comfortable and content.

    Most large companies have a succession plan in place for events like this. I'm sure there was an EVP acting as the interim CEO until a replacement is found. Most plans even go as far as offering a retention bonus to senior staff that may have applied for the CEO position but we're turned down. You don't want to lose your CEO and then have two or three VPs leave because they didn't get promoted. I audited one credit union where the top 3 VPs were given a 50K retention bonus spread over 3 years to ensure they stayed.

    She just got ripped off. I did that once for a woman outside of a store (spent about 60 bucks for a huge amount of stuff that I couldn't afford). A couple of days later I saw her again doing the same thing. Note: In NYC and other places, children/babies are used as props for panhandlers. If that woman was totally legit, she could have easily gotten gov't food aid.

    Stop tooting your own horn. You went on a shopping spree, afraid to let your partner know and used some fake a*s homeless family as your get out of jail card. Nice manicured nails for someone who “can’t afford it”. Ok Pinocchio 🤥

    Excuse me, Dorian, but the number of people on the flight doesn’t make the plane spew fewer pollutants into the air. In fact, I believe the extra weight of the additional people might even make it burn more fuel, thereby polluting the air even more.

    Good god what lot a load of tosh, could he get any further up inside himself! This actually reminded me of Fraiser the TV show where he would try and outdo his brother Niles in getting more obscure items from ever stranger places!

    May be harder than it looks. I never got insightful feedback on most of my jobs... "you did the task assigned before the evening deadline, did you know you could have done it 2h slower?" would be unexpected at best.

    In all of my working days I found that inspirational and motivational quotes mostly had the same message: "Break your back, work your fingers to the bone, be there for the company 24/365 and some day you'll get that promotion and a 20 ct per month raise. "

    In other words you were a sucker, for spending $800 when you were only going to spend $8. I think I'll take lessons on sales from the one who got you to spend $800 rather than you.

    But in the end this guy is right though. Salesmen often underestimate how a little bit of politeness towards customers could boost their sales. And never judge customers by their appearance.

    That's just a common tactic in sales, so only one of them was genuinely themself. The other got you to spend hundred times your budget.

    Exactly! You can reflect on these things yourself, or talk about it with your partner, but that's it... Not everything needs to be "shared", especially when it's for the wrong reasons.

    Sadly, this isn't uncommon and people are very much immune to it. I have genuinely worked with people around a few offices in London who have arrived late and told me "sorry I'm late, some selfish bastard jumped under a train."

    I have NEVER done a single moment of work on the train into London. And I never will. That is my time. I have read books, tried some sketching (turns out I am not very good), and even just nestled up to a partition and caught up with some zzzzz, but I will NEVER check my emails until I walk through the front door of the office.
