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.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".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.
