Do I really even want to know what LinkedIn games are?

[–] Akagigahara@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

They are just Browser minigames. Nothing too Fancy, out there. Just pretentious, as is the norm for linkedin

Of course, she's a consultant.

[–] bobo1900@startrek.website 34 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Not only a regular consultant, but a "solutions-based" one. As opposed to another kind of consultant?

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

So a "problems-oriented" consultant?

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's more successful than "invoice-based".

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Every consultant is "invoice-oriented". Some are more than just invoice-oriented.

"Invent problems by your own so you can sell a solution"

[–] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm a problems-oriented consultant. Whatever your problem is, I can help you split it into two barely smaller problems.

Hey, sometimes I just want you to listen to me talking about this huge fucking dumpster fire I got going on.

Can we just take a moment looking at the artistic chaos of it all, without all your pesky "solutions"?

[–] lostoncalantha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

What I really need to know though is does she leverage her experience and talents to find me the best solutions

Imagine wasting your time on linkedin games

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't Linkedin games an oxymoron?

[–] monogram@feddit.nl 9 points 2 weeks ago

Needs more hashtags!!!

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

I think I'd die if I still worked a corporate job.

[–] Mediocre_chad@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

"Survival of the fittest" really does require the most mental and emotional gymnastics to maintain the "wish I were" "wanna be" "matter more" paradigm.

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does posting this kind of nonsense actually work? Are there people who read this? Does this land them better jobs, clients? I can't comprehend engaging in braindead bullshit like this...

[–] bumblefumble@mander.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Official linked in game account commented, so yes, it gives you reach in the algorithm.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

This isn't too bad. Just tips on how to use a product more effectively? Just a bit cringe that people are playing "LinkedIn Games"

[–] bumblefumble@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

To be honest I'm playing LinkedIn games - I like when number go up. My issue is coming with some made up overanalysis to how it defines you as a worker, wrote up in some extremely annoying, verbose post. I guess I just hate how so many people on LinkedIn write long posts with basically no substance because they need to be seen by the algorithm.

But no, compared to straight up deranged people this isn't so bad. More a hate the game, not the player type situation.

[–] fluckx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Linkedin has games?

The only way to win this shit is to not play

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

I like to look up the companies in their tag lines. Notion - "The AI workspace that works for for you"

I've got the notion that she's just another AI dickhead. Sry, 'expert'.

[–] Ribbons@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I totally get it, my brain moves like a Queen. (In eight directions)
