This Twitter Account Is Dedicated To Showcasing All The ‘Crap On LinkedIn’ And Here’s 40 Of The Best Finds
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.

LinkedIn is a treasure trove of untrue stories.
Load More Replies...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."
OMG, if this is real then satire really is dead...5 years, that f**king hilarious....
5 years? So basically you want to find the stupidest person you can and mentally torture them for as long as possible
What a f*****g d**k! Could you even imagine working this twat? "If you could ,like ,work all over the weekend that would be great...."
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.
In my reading, the tall ones are the stupidly optimistic that believe the plan cannot fail; shorty goes "well but did you check (...)?"
How is this cringey? Only on social media can making a point about positivity be s**t all over.
"If you're short, you'll be the savior"? Is Tyrion Lannister the hero of GoT?
Nice But I have worked places where anytjing and everything is labeled negativity, and you would get in trouble for repirting faulty routines
"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."
"Hey Bill, how's you and the wife?" *Stares* tick...tick...tick...tick *still staring* ...30 seconds... "Good, Tim!"
Yeah, you'd really start to think Bill had some kind of cognitive difficulty if he just stared at you for even 5 seconds without responding.
Load More Replies...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.
People will walk away thinking you are r******d or mute. 30 seconds is long enough to sing Happy Birthday. Twice.
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.
"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."
As Dan Price has proven, people will do even more when you pay them a decent wage.

Load More Replies...Genius! In my next salary talk I will ask merely for a cup of cheap coffee and a motivational claim. I already feel a craving to work overtime.
Overtime will be rewarded with an extra cup of coffee and 2 motivational quotes. Lucky you!!!
Load More Replies...Yeah no, being told "good job" is nice but being able to put food on the table and pay your bills without having to worry about overdraft fees is a much nicer feeling.
I don't know about anyone else, but it is still about the money. You won't work hard if you know you're underpaid.
I don't get why is it strange to sit anywhere without a laptop or iphone.
and to have friends who actually talk to you in a cafe.
Load More Replies...Don't blame it on technology, introverts and quiet people have existed for a long, long time. Surely, people back in the days also avoided small talk and minded their own business, by reading a book, knitting, unwrapping mummies, etc.
I don’t know, but they came there together, the second guy was behind the first guy in line, just got his order, and joined him—-his friend—-at their table, pops immediately into my head.
So this guy is pining for the good old days when technology didn't interfere with human interaction while at the same time spearheading a company that sells that same technology? I think their corporate motto is something like "We sell the tech that you will regret having"
Apparently no one initiates Conversation with this technology obsessed bore. Hey idiot, people talk all the time. Maybe coffee shops are places for people to drink coffee in peace while doing work or looking for work without someone talking their ear off?
i dont understand why he thinks that not using technology in a coffee shop is weird. I mean i meet my friends in coffee shops all the time and we end up walking around not even touching our phones
Now that’s just crazy. No internet contact at all? Are you human? 😋

Taiwan was testing, tracking and quarantining everyone entering their island as early as January. When everyone else was still denying reality.
Are you kidding me? The semester was delayed by two weeks and we’ve been wearing masks from January up until now. Even more, public gatherings are still closely monitored and three of our field trips were cancelled for this reason. Taiwan was in fact one of the first countries to begin this. End rant
The U.K. is an island and we have the highest rates in Europe. It's the leadership that makes the difference.

The name of her company is NameDrop Marketing and she has the gahl to say Apple will never be successful LMAO. Is your whole marketing strategy based around saying your better than people who are obviously far more successful than you?

Meditation classes lol. Probably the last thing a homeless guy needs. That's like giving your dog a pair of shoes instead of food and water. Way to pat yourself on the back on that one.
Assuming it actually happened in the first place. "I don't want nor need recognition for what I did" while shamelessly sharing (or making up) such a story on social media, cool...
Load More Replies...You say you don’t need recognition for it, yet you post about doing it on social media. Humblebrag much?
how exactly will meditation help a homeless man more than shelter and money and food and water?
Then don't advertise the good deeds that you do for others. Doing a good deed is doing something positive for someone and not telling anyone about it.
"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"
Load More Replies...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.

Load More Replies...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”.
I got rejected because my application was all about me and not about what I had to offer to the company.
I applied for nearly 80 jobs before I got the one I have today. Took me several months but just keep trying.
Load More Replies...So this "Career Whisperer" pats himself on the back while his crappy company files bankruptcy and closes all stores, according to USA Today article dated July 13, 2020
So then how about me as a single mom of a 5 month old starting school and working really hard, taking a full load including summer semesters, having 2 major surgeries, working thru 2 close family member deaths and getting a bachelors, 2 minors and then a masters in the matter of 4.5 years start to finish with a GPA of 3.66? 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.

There was this one time a couple of years ago I put my CVs/resumes on 2 clay tablets, then handed them to a recruiter named Mo who claimed he'd spread them amongst his associates... 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. Long story short: I'm still waiting for a Job interview...
I think my CVS is built out of steel and concrete. Oh and windows.. it has windows.
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
*don't know why it added the work 'safe' at the end just as I sent it :p

I actually do have a box of masks and another of gloves in my car, and would give one to someone who needed it. Haven’t had that opportunity. Wouldn’t post about it on social media of I did.
Why do people feel the need to broadcast when they've done a good turn? Are these people nice so rarely that its a novelty they need to share?
I use it constantly, and then, hopefully, catch myself and correct it. It's short hand really. A sign that says "Drive Thru" takes less space, fewer letters and is therefore cheaper.
Load More Replies...At what point do you get so desperate for attention that you post a bad, "motivational" post about a stinkbug? Are you really that stupid, or are you explaining to the world what bug represents 2020? Because if it's the second one... well done.
I think this refers to his love of watching his employees struggle. He could help out, but the entertainment of watching another creature struggle to live is way more valuable.
There'd better be strong booze in the cabinet when I get home...I think I just lost all hope.
It's a stink bug. Pick it up carefully with a tissue and flush it down the toilet. Do NOT squish.
He's Ferrari-adjacent at best... If I make a photo of me next to the Statue of Liberty, do you assume it's my statue? So how does this suggest he's even allowed to drive it (rent, lease, borrow)?
I have noticed that usually people who DON'T own a Ferrari (or similar) take pictures next to it / in it. People who DO own one, don't need a picture. *takes a photo driving a loaned Porsche*

How about committing that same effort to signing some bonus checks for lower level employees instead?
Sure, let me ignore the things that bring me joy so you can under pay me and reap the rewards from my hard work. Never forget, the wealth of others is built on the backs of the poor.
That's not even true. The person who goes home and forgets about work, the person who spends time with their kids or relaxes with 4 hours of FFXIV or goes to the gym or makes a delicious supper or has a bath & reads or goes on a date or --- whatever. 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.
B******t, I have done really well in my career without sacrificing a life outside of work, I may never be a millionaire but I make more than enough to live a nice life and keep my wife and dogs happy and that's ok with me.

I'm surprised he wasn't disappointed that LA didn't die just after he successfully poached them and could charge his original client 2x, for both placing his shortlived #1 and then his #2 candidate.
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.
Nothing like money to express appreciation. Not joking.

I bet if it had been an "Asian check out man" he would have gotten nothing...if you're only "nice" to women it's not a "random act of kindness" because it shows you're still only thinking about yourself, specifically a certain body part🙄
so the “Asian” gets chocolates as opposed to the Latinos or Whites Or Blacks? Shane your obvious attempt at being “woke” has backfired. You need a muzzle not a mask.
I think the real point is that 'journalists' like Shane can't help but to zero right in on the race of the people about whom they are writing.
"...but even so, HR does require we have your resume on hand so we can confirm you're not just BSing on the internet, so when you can email it ove- Wait, you don't have one?

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.

It's for the EFFECT, you KNOW? They're AIMING for EMPHASIS, and THIS is the BEST way, CLEARLY.

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. "
All OF the capitals sorta MAKE these look like DEMANDS. THEY'RE giving ME a HEADACHE.
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.
But... you could have gotten your expensive stuff either way. And way too many people don't consider introversion.
You don't need to review the calendar if you do the same thing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Only eats 2 meals a day? Posts on linkedin when he's hanging out with his wife? Only does parenting during breakfast and 1 family activity?
And 7. Eagles hide away from stupid humans whenever they can.

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.

Bottom line "My co-workers had the brains to know that it was time to step out of the rat race, while I believe that I shall live forever because I deny that growing old is a reality.
So, you're saying I could have stayed 5 forever if I hadn't "decayed"? Seems legit.
If "Hustle" is an essential part of your succes you either are a motivational speaker or an influenza.
Homeless people: Oh my God you're right! I need to get a job with the college degree I couldn't afford and stop buying beer with the money I don't have! The education I didn't get sure will pay off now!
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.
That's why you're not CEO Wilf. It's all about the value of time, m'kay

This isn't even the worst stuff on LinkedIn. There's a huge industry of "coaching" which is pseudo science mixed with fortune cookie wisdom all packaged up by talentless charlatans to take advantage of people in desperate need of guidance and support in their professional lives. They flood LinkedIn with these posts in the hope of scamming some cash from them. Most of the other posts are "that happened" humble brag asshats who say stuff like..."I had an interview today.....the candidate was nervous....because she was actually a talking goat....i didn't care...i hired her on the spot...good managers don't judge a candidate by their species...agree?" Eughhhh.
Actually, a talking goat would've been an improvement on some people I've worked for. And with.

I like your posts. You speak your mind and it's refreshing :)

Former employer put everyone on Linkedin without their permission. Using our resumes and filling in any details he didn't know with his fantasies. The women got so many contacts from creeps it was not funny.
Elis James & John Robins would have loved these. Come on, someone out there must be on email! 🤗
