"Today I had to say goodbye to my fellow LinkedInians. I am truly grateful for the 2 years I spent there creating value for shareholders of MSFT. Being pushed by my managers to excel and being able to learn from Satya Nadella's memos made it some of the most impactful years of my life. ETC ETC. Please refer me at your company. Thanks." - 700 linkedIn posts appearing today.

I certainly wouldn't, no.

> creating value for shareholders of MSFT

I laughed at this part. If being grateful about increasing shareholder value (without a mention of increasing value for users) is a common attitude there, that explains quite a lot about why LinkedIn is the way it is.

Reaching out for referrals, yes. Praising the company that threw me out on the street. No thanks.

90% of work is performative bullshit anyway. LinkedIn is the epitome of performative bullshit.
