RE: Everybody Lies On LinkedIn

in LeoFinance3 years ago (edited)

You're right; LinkedIn is full of hilarious liars.

I'm not in some high-flying corporate career where I need thousands of fake connections to climb the ladder.

I run my own very small business, but all I got was contacts from people trying to sell me something (usually vapourware "self improvement courses" or businessman's clubs).

What I found funniest was that my business is very small, basically myself and my wife working from home here in the UK. But I found at least a dozen people who put on their profiles that they worked for my business as managers in the Dubai/Los Angeles/wherever office.

So I deleted my profile there, the data they were gathering was intrusive, and it was just a waste of time for what I do.

Oh wow 😄😄😄 this is crazy. I know people claim to work at made-up organisations, I didn't know they actually claim real companies. So wild.
