Do I really even want to know what LinkedIn games are?

[–] Akagigahara@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

They are just Browser minigames. Nothing too Fancy, out there. Just pretentious, as is the norm for linkedin

Isn't Linkedin games an oxymoron?

"Survival of the fittest" really does require the most mental and emotional gymnastics to maintain the "wish I were" "wanna be" "matter more" paradigm.

I think I'd die if I still worked a corporate job.

This isn't too bad. Just tips on how to use a product more effectively? Just a bit cringe that people are playing "LinkedIn Games"

To be honest I'm playing LinkedIn games - I like when number go up. My issue is coming with some made up overanalysis to how it defines you as a worker, wrote up in some extremely annoying, verbose post. I guess I just hate how so many people on LinkedIn write long posts with basically no substance because they need to be seen by the algorithm.

But no, compared to straight up deranged people this isn't so bad. More a hate the game, not the player type situation.

Linkedin has games?

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does posting this kind of nonsense actually work? Are there people who read this? Does this land them better jobs, clients? I can't comprehend engaging in braindead bullshit like this...

[–] bumblefumble@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Official linked in game account commented, so yes, it gives you reach in the algorithm.

I like to look up the companies in their tag lines. Notion - "The AI workspace that works for for you"

I've got the notion that she's just another AI dickhead. Sry, 'expert'.
