    Guy doesn’t seem to understand what a “work persona” is. I wouldn’t want to date my own work persona let alone anyone else’s.

      I don’t even have a linkedin work persona. its an online resume as well as a way to stay in touch with coworkers mainly by getting or giving recommendations. I don’t get why anyone posts there.

        Once you’re above a certain level of wealth, you don’t need a worksona any more. Getting fired is just a temporary setback. The terrifying truth is that some people are actually like this; they think they are their careers. ML isn’t just the thing he does, it’s a part of who he is.

    Lol…

    Dude has his parents setting up profiles on “matrimony sites” and thinks the part of that that is outdated is the fuckin web interface?

    Like, imagine writing that, thinking LinkedIn would become a dating site…

    And all your potential “dates” would see your comment about how Mummy and Daddy couldn’t arrange a marriage for you.

    They want LinkedIn to be a dating site, because it says how much they make. And that’s the only thing they have going for them.

      You’re judging based on arbitrary standards of the “modern” and “correct” way to find a partner.

    On the one hand, the idea of using linkedin as a dating website is irredeemably terrible. On the other hand, if singles who think otherwise actually follow through with it, that saves a bit of time and frustration for a lot of other people.

    Dude was probably being set up for an arranged marriage by his family, which can potentially pair you with someone you do not share any interests with or even attracted to in the first place. With that context, it kinda makes sense that he wants someone who at least shares something similar with him, and I guess linkedin is one way of finding out (in his mind).

      Also “No subscriptions” as if LinkedIn isn’t infamous for locking features behind their subscription
