If I wanted to look for a job anonymously, the last thing I'd want to do would be to sign in with my LinkedIn profile. I'd probably rather make an extra email account somewhere and use that.

It seems way to easy to implement a third column to this offer: Companies! Find out which of your rat bastard employees is about to abandon ship for only $50 (per month). Get email notifications as soon as one of your employees logs into our site and use our handy Word template to fire them automatically!

Honestly, I'd like to know how often this actually happens.

Most employers with half a brain know that they will lose employees if a better offer comes along. Most of them also realize that at any given time, people are exploring their options. They also realize that the vast majority of them will stay put and won't leave without signalling in some way and it's really not a productive use of time scanning the web trying to figure out who might quit next.

I've worked for some pretty stupid people and even they wouldn't bother doing this.

I think that goes completely against the whole point of the website, it's a platform where you can let people know your interested in finding a new job without your employer finding out about it.
I think he was being sarcastic.
I feel so stupid, I didn't read the last sentence :/
