I haven’t tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.
I’ve had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don’t want to use LinkedIn, but it’s pretty much a requirement in my industry.
I’m not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona’s ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.
This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it’s being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.
A frustration of mine is that hr at my current company will not allow hiring of a candidate that doesn’t have a LinkedIn account. I’ve had to ask a couple people that wanted to work on my team to create LinkedIn accounts otherwise I wouldn’t be able to hire them.
your current company sounds stupid.
No argument from me. They gave me a credit card to purchase things my team needs and I recently had to get vice president approval to spend $40 on a single mode fiber cable. It’s not a small company either. It was like five levels of approval and took two weeks just to spend $40 out of the $15k of annual discretionary spend for fast turn break/fix requirements. I dread the day a hard drive or something fails that really actually needs replaced in a timely manner.
