replyBut LinkedIn is the one social network many people literally cannot escape to put food on the table.
replyI don't care about how much spying is going on in ESPN. I can ditch it at the shadow of a suspicion. Not so with LinkedIn.
This is very alarming, and pretending it's not because everyone else does it sounds disingenuous to me.
You can also just browse LinkedIn with a browser that doesn’t have extensions installed, if privacy is that important to you.
replyLike everyone else on this thread, I’m not condoning it or saying it’s a good thing, but this post is an exaggeration.
That sounds problematic and is only supported by people mindlessly agreeing to it. I know someone who got jobs at google and apple with no linkedin, and he wasn't particularly young. What do you do in the face of it? I say quit entirely. It was an easy decision because I got nothing out of it during the entire time I was on it.
replyI have heard people say that LinkedIn was vital to their career.
replyFor myself, I agree with you: one should quit (and I will)
After getting laid off at age 52 (2nd time, 1st time day after my 50th birthday, took an inter-company transfer), and searching for a year, applying to maybe 5-10 companies a week, I got my current job (2 years+) through a random LinkedIn button.
