You're boss of your Company, or not?

LinkedIn has a new CEO, he didn't have to go through a job interview...
The 'normal' World...
The 'LinkedIn' World...
...and there's nothing you can do about it...except filing a report and ask LinkedIn to remove me from your Company page. This can be a tedious task to fulfill.
Petition for Control
On February 7th I published this 'Petition' post, many responded, thanks for your support. The 'LinkedIn world' is the real world on this platform and I (and many with me) don't get it.
I've been active on this platform since August 2009 and have helped many with improving their LinkedIn presence and visibility. I think the world of LinkedIn...but there's always room for improvement and challenges to solve mistakes when we see one.
A few experiences shared as a comment to my previous post:
"When I was the head of News Department at the second largest radio broadcast in Poland, someone wrote in his resume on LinkedIn that he worked at Radio Zet (but he didn't), someone else stopped working, but on LinkedIn he still had published with Rad Zet in his description."
"I’ve had a few clients who have had problems with people saying they work for them when they don’t. It’s crazy."

"My client had employees that retired or moved on and they refused to take themselves off the page and it took months to get them removed."
"I had reported an impersonation account of our company managing partner on Dec 12 2021. But that account still exists with 500+ connections."
"I had one client whose Page had 350 employees but they in reality had only 35! A close friend has just been scammed out of ￡100K GBP by someone whose LinkedIn profile shows he worked previously at Merrill Lynch."
Just a few examples on how it should not work. So what are the solutions? I don't work for LinkedIn, I'm not your techie engineer or tech wizard but you must have ideas on how to solve this issue and let us be boss on our own (Company) pages. Employee Verification by checking the domain email has been mentioned by many. Some accounts use their private email address but as I just said there must be other solutions.
To finish off, a few more things to consider on why to solve this issue with Fake Employees:
Thanks LinkedIn for a fast reply and solution.

3 年Perhaps Guy we should all add CEO of LinkedIn to our profiles? That might get this problem fixed faster than greased lightening!

3 年LinkedIn partially addressed this issue by requiring employee verification to access the company tab or post a job but this does not fix the problem you highlight. Let's keep campaigning until it is resolved Guy.
