Shameless Work Influencers Are the Bane of LinkedIn
It's the faux-thentic trope pieces on LinkedIn that annoy me. "I was working so hard I forgot to be me" or  "after years of constant success my daughter showed me what success really means". Apparently it means getting likes from strangers.<p>And then there's the business tall tales: "I hired a guy with no qualifications other than a big heart and now he's running a multinational". "I made 10k job applications and landed my dream job. You can too".<p>I think the reason is alluded to in the article: it's not polite to call out BS, and if you do the work involved is OOM larger than creating it.
