I actually like the Linkedin vibe. It’s like an alternate reality where everyone is always congratulating everyone else on their accomplishments! And shipping stuff! And investing in their careers! Seriously though, for some reason all this “The Office” stuff would be awkward and cringey in real life, but in an online format it works? Somehow? It’s similar to how an internet argument can be often way more rage inducing than a real life one, but with positive emotions instead.
There’s a casual disregard for real relationships that gets me.
I’ve seen more than once some poor bastard that gets laid off from a good company end up at shitcorp, inc, and some jackass will cluelessly make a dumb comment.
“Hey Bud, it didn’t know there was enough money in Account Management at Shitco to leave the VP gig at Google! #inspiring #success”
