The Negative Impact on Careers

• 👀 LinkedIn creates an imbalance of information, making it easy for users to give too much information about themselves while companies share limited information about job expectations and salaries.
• 🤕 The platform forces self-comparison, making users feel insecure about their careers and more receptive to buying career development services.
• 📚 LinkedIn promotes the collection of certifications, which can be meaningless and have no correlation with job performance, but are used by recruiters to convince managers to hire new candidates.
• 🙏 The platform fosters a culture of corporate worship, where companies encourage employees to have a strong presence on LinkedIn, creating overwhelmingly positive feedback and making it difficult for managers to acknowledge areas of weakness.
