Comment on Microsoft's LinkedIn: If our AI gets it wrong, that's your problem

Linked in shouldn’t even be an option. It was shit before microsoft bought them (email man in the middle, remember that?) and somehow microsoft made it worse.
I would never touch that platform. Friends don’t let friends use it.

If I didn’t need to have a profile there for work I wouldn’t. I had two jobs that were kind enough to tell me when I asked that they immediately passed on me because my resume had no LinkedIn or Facebook, and I deleted my Facebook a year ago.

That sucks. And the only way to fix it is to get people not to play.
I am on hiring committees for a large firm for it positions. When people put their linked in on their resumes, I see it as a negative. If they can’t value their personal data, I don’t see how they can value my companies.

That just makes job hunting suck even more. Now you need to also check whether LinkedIn gets you hired or passed on.

Your merits matter most to me. But we all need to get the hell away from that platform.
