GET WELL SOON ... LinkedIN

Over the last few days I have been very worried with the health of LinkedIn. It has moved from being a professional forum that it used to be to another extension of FB!! This also makes me wonder does a moderator exist for this forum or will we soon end up with another FB here. Here are a few things and headlines that have been shared by respectable people on this forum -

1.A senior level corporate professional proudly boasted - Blessed to bleed(I now shudder as to when is she going to post the pics or pics with the burn the bra theme!!).

2.A senior level mobile handset professional can be seen posting here all day even when he is doing his personal stuff like visiting a hospital or visiting Tirupati(I wonder when we'll to see his pics here when he next visits the bath room!!). I also wonder when does he work if he is here all the time??

3.A highly qualified professional decided to use this platform to tell us all what a complicated heart surgery his old mother went thru and stuff(I now wait for him to share all the heart surgery pics along with her reports and medicines prescribed!!).I am even more worried because he also mentioned his father has to undergo a prostate surgery soon(I sure those who liked the mothers post would be waiting for more details of the prostate too or its pics!!)

4.A headhunter/recruitment consultant proudly boasted here that I do not respond to all the mails nor do I take all the calls I get. Its not possible and I am not obliged to was the stated reason. The same consultant also proudly stated that it took just 5 mins of a conversation to decide if a prospect fits a job role/requirement for a profile that required over 20 years of work experience.(I am surely not waiting for my 5 mins with this person to decide my future employability!!)

Now coming to another key point there are another few million people who hit like and share on posts like the above thereby spamming all their contacts and forcing them to also suffer such painful posts! While it may be very difficult for LinkedIn to scan and regulate all such posts we as sensible people can and should. Request all the educated people on the forum not to put likes or shares to posts like this and similar an make your and your contacts lives more stress free.

May the peace be with you!!
