Is this meant to a poem?
Someone must be there to maintain the modem
700 hundred people is a lot
I feel bad those who can not afford a yacht
Layoffs are a sad part of life
Don't believe me, ask my wife
Now where will my resume go?
For my mortgage company, I have nothing to show

When i read the title, that was my first thought --- does a website like that really need that many people to lead to lay-offs?
Turns out they have 21,000 employees!!!!

…Would they have to use LinkedIn to network for new jobs?

LinkedIn is international and uses user generated content so they need to have people for moderation and compliance with international laws, legal teams, and so on. 200 countries and 900 million users. These things need a lot of people to operate and the push to do so with fewer will only make the platform worse.

One of my favourite things about Linkedin is glimpsing an interesting post before the feed refreshes, and the post vanishes and becomes literally impossible to locate ever again. A sensational user experience

Years ago I got my forever job working for the government. As I felt I didn't need it anymore, I updated my LinkedIn to be extremely sarcastic. I replaced my picture with a picture of Batman, changes my name to "Dr. Von Lohingren" and wrote it to read like a covert ops worker whose information is almost entirely redacted. And yet people still contact me sometimes with job offers.

My best friend's been on a serious job hunt for awhile and he's constantly running into shit like people not properly labelling requirements for jobs and people putting up listings that are actually for MLMs or data harvesting purposes so they need a lot more moderation if anything.

I got so many pig butchering scams on LinkedIn. Only recently has it lessened

I'm job hunting right now and one of my areas of expertise (hahaha) is predominantly hired for on LinkedIn. The site is so full of scam job posts that I've given up.

Seen plenty of posts with the company supposedly hiring for the job not even located near where I live. Either that, or most of the postings are fast food/retail/healthcare-related. |

LinkedIn is the drizzling shits. Not a week goes by that I don't get some headhunter wanting me to interview for a job with twice the responsibility, half the pay, and a third of the benefits of my current job. Sure, I'll interview for that.
