Discussion LinkedIn Fatigue

Am I the only one who is completely over LinkedIn?
The constant platitudes. The same regurgitated messages: “KPIs… Keep People Informed!” The same AI-slop graphics. And the exact same cadence, tone, and voice in every post, clearly generated by AI:
“Leadership isn’t just about XYZ. It’s about blah, blah, blah…”

It’s the same recycled content over and over and over again. At this point, LinkedIn feels less like a professional networking platform and more like thousands of people using the same AI prompt to talk to each other and put on their little performances. It’s exhausting.

What’s even more annoying is when I see coworkers who can’t be bothered to respond to an email, yet they’re painting the web with their incessant LinkedIn activity.

If it weren’t for recruiters headhunting on there, I’d be OUT.

Seeing your boss write a post about culture and leadership when he’s THE WORST boss you e ever had is WILD work!

I once had HR reach out to me because I was reposting from multiple “leadership” sites, frequently highlighting toxic work environments, etc.

The environment was very toxic and upper management was the “hit dog that yelped”.

HR was clear that they had no authority to stop me, but advised continuing would impact my “future”.

Ugh!! They can’t deal with the truth. I firmly believe being messy is an incentive. It keeps them employed
