reddit.comIf that LinkedIn? I'm glad I never had to rely on it for work.
It's "toxic work environment" in digital form, distilled to its purest.
Edit: Phrasing.

It is linkedin yeah. I have met some decent people to 'network' with but it is also full of people bragging non-stop, weirdos and entitled people complaining about whatever.

The only ones I ever connected with were the people I already worked with, just in case I needed to hit them up for something down the line.

That’s how I got my latest role, bypassed recruiters totally and dealt with the company direct.

The old “this is my worksona” meme, carried out into a distressing MMO format.
As a neurodivergent person trying to navigate it, it seems like there’s an entirely coded lexicon, that isn’t actually fleshed out anywhere, that’s necessary to understand the rules for interacting.
Put me in front of someone and I’m good. I can sort out genuine:disingenuous/affectation levels pretty well and mask on up, but when it’s just the bizarre pseudo-positivity without any substance I’m at an absolute loss for how to engage.
I’m on LinkedIn, trying to crack into the programming/web dev side, and I’m eagerly awaiting the day I can backburner ever actively checking LinkedIn again.

If you were decent you wouldn't send out cold emails.
If we replied to you then the cold calls/emails would work and there would be a ton more.
It's in my best interest to ignore you so I don't get a ton more cold emails.
Fuck you for thinking you deserve my time. Spoiler I don't know you so you don't deserve anything from my life. I don't give a shit about you and your "hard working team." If what you're doing is annoying people and ineffective try taking the bold step of doing something else instead of whining about it.

If it's about a position that's completely irrelevant to me, it's a block and mark as spam

2 years ago I was applying to different and senior roles of which I was well qualified.
Ghosted
Ignored
Received rejection emails months later.
Sorry, but karma is a you know what.

That’s was my take.
You want us to reply to you? Why don’t you reply to us first.
The entitlement and hypocrisy of hiring folks is colossal.
3
Part of the problem is that the human element has been removed via ATS. Don’t have ALL the keywords? Immediately ignored.
Years back you’d be introduced to a hiring manager, who would actually speak with you. If your resume wasn’t perfect (and none are) you could talk through it. Today, you don’t even make it to a set of human eyes.

I received a rejection email a couple weeks ago for a job I applied for in October.

Bro. How does this person only get 15 inmails a day?!?! And how do they think that is typical for anyone??
The average American worker gets hundreds of emails/letters/phone calls a day. I’m shook at the idea of 15 emails.
7
I get more than fifteen a day on my private email.
And nobody I know really emails me.
Also, 30 seconds per? It should take you that long to open and read it, and that much again to type up a reply, let alone comprehending and formulating a reply.
Unless…that thirty seconds is checking the sender and then deleting it…that would make sense.
3
I get 0 inmails per day. Yes I do use LinkedIn.
1
It's been years that I simply don't answer any call from numbers not on my contact list and blocking them as soon as they call. There's no downside to it, it's only peace. Whoever really needs me and have my number can get in touch via communication apps through the internet or probably already have my email, use it and it shouldn't fall into the spam folder.

Why is everything like this now! Used to be so much easier to land jobs.. now I have to go through recruiters constantly and none are seemingly capably of finding me a single bit of work. It's a treadmill of bullshit where I can't directly deal with anyone.
3
Because they mostly have targets and like to push… they don’t care.
There is a template which (honestly surprising) works. By cold calling, no feedback, only caring about their own targets,…
3
I hate the SALES! culture. The idea it’s good to harass people and manipulate them into things they don’t want.
Even worse, I hate when the perpetrators (and often the recipients) of this bullshit feel entitled to praise and reward for their “persistence”.
3
I fuck with em.
Them: “We need to speak to you about your vehicle’s warranty. Could you please confirm the make and model?”
Me: “Seeing as I have twelve cars, you’ll need to be more specific.”
Click.

wtf died and made these recruiters so self important?
Theyre a dime a dozen,
3
Why does LinkedIn look like Facebook?
2
Same corrupt core.
1
I mostly just treat them like spam calls they're never relevant and worded like bots anyways
2
I really want to know what that recruiter had to say about the CRE guy.

The second you respond saying not interested you’ll get flooded with calls and emails trying to tell you whatever tat they’re selling is critical to your businesses survival.
