I really admire the creative bullshit these execs come up with, AI can't compete: "This means adapting our organizational structures to improve agility and accountability, establishing unambiguous ownership and driving improved efficiency and transparency through reduced layering".

> that quote is actually pretty reasonable and not empty It does have an actual discernible message, which puts it above a lot of other corporate gobbledygook. But it's still corporate gobbledygook that requires careful deciphering to understand what it says. I don't consider it reasonable at all. It's slightly meaningful word vomit.
There can be several reasons why they (and their employees) would want that though. Being very honest is not a positive in this case. Duplicate work and ambiguous ownership is fuzzy and unclear. They won't come out and say "we overhired and now we are shedding our deadweight" because no one wins with that more crude statement. The least you can do for the laid off employees in this situation is try and not make it ha…

Tell me one area that has not gotten more political or partisan in recent years.
I actually tried to think of one and struggled… I host a weekly open-mic at a local bar (mostly music but some standup and poetry) and more and more often I’ve had to figure out how to gracefully handle a performer using some of their 6-10 minutes to share their not-as-popular-as-they-might think political takes or commentary. And it should be handled gracefully, because I’m not in the business of banning political c…
Has anyone else noticed that LinkedIn is turning into a shitty social media platform? Memes and videos are now being posted. I used to get decent use from it but stopped updating my profile because the site is cancer. Full of self patting on the back and people adding me to “grow their network”. Recruiters contacting me with “perfect fit” position in languages not on my profile. Can someone please develop hacker news…
Thank god I'm in academia and can afford to not be in any social platform, especially that one. I hate social media in general but LinkedIn is just especially disgusting for me. In any other social media that is not linked directly to some kind of real-world reward I can at least understand that people are venting, or being assholes just for fun, or saying stupid things just because it's free and easy. But the rolepl…
What’s this about? Do Scandinavians have a reputation of being fake or something?
I just paid for a "Premium Career" account and it was $250 for one year or $39.99/month. I've gotten my $250 back from consulting leads through LinkedIn, but it stills seems high for the value to the average person.
Hoping to get into to consulting

Your memory has some holes in it friend. > literally no one that claimed the vaccine was 100% effective Well, apart from the President of the US [0], and Pfizer themselves [1], and many others. > I don't recall anyone saying it was racist for saying Wuhan was an origin point Many, many people claimed this; including a NYT reporter [2] and WaPo [3]. > I cannot speak for anyone else, but I don't think this was ever dis…
The "nosedive" was specifically because people like you cannot stick to a topic and instead make everything about COVID conspiracies, as I already stated. That said, I'll give a look to your links, though I seriously suspect that they don't validate everything you're saying.
I haven't talked about Covid here for a long, long time.
I responded to your claim with a long list of easily verifiable instances of "conspiracy theories" being proven correct - which was then immediately flagged despite containing no misinformation, rudeness, etc. The irony is lost on people, apparently.
I'm sure you can find something wrong with all those links, if you try real hard - but if you put as much effort into verifying them I bet you'll learn a lot more.
I'm surprised it took this long for LinkedIn to do layoffs. The amount of recruiters looking for candidates, tech companies hiring, etc. has gone down since the beginning of the year. As such, the income from LinkedIn that is tied to job postings has decreased. In order to continue looking good on paper they have decided then to layoff employees to cut costs. The same thing has happened at other companies that make m…
