LinkedIn has been around for nearly two decades. The platform, since 2003, serves as a bridge for the job-seekers and employers who want to establish a strong connection in employment.
In worst-case scenarios, however, LinkedIn users, who reportedly come from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia have different experiences that they have witnessed in the global networking service.
From the most cringe-worthy to the worst posts, these people will tell another side of LinkedIn from various perspectives.
CringeWorthy Posts in LinkedIn that Users From US, UK, and Australia Spotted
Like any other social media site, LinkedIn is not an exemption to the meme-worthy moments that users see in other platforms.
Users are scattered all over to share the nastiest and the most shameful posts that they have seen.
In an updated report of the Daily Mail on Thursday, May 20, one LinkedIn user posted about his achievement involving a newly-bought Rolex. In a not-so-ordinary case, he took a picture of its mind-boggling price of £12,750 (around $18,000) and shared it on the platform.
One user also spotted another man who was caught scolding an unpaid intern. During that time, the intern was donning an AirPod as part of the "rite of passage" of the company. To his surprise, the employer immediately kicked him out of the corporation because he did not pass the "test."
In another cringe-worthy scenario, some users have been boasting that they have random viewers on their profile. However, there is no other way to determine it unless they will publicize their LinkedIn profile.
To date, these notifications have become the clear candidates for the "most useless notification on the entire internet," according to LinkedIn people from the US and the UK.
Nevertheless, what we have witnessed above are just pigments of the nearly-meme posts that shocked LinkedIn in the worst possible way.
If you thought that the cringe-worthy posts in LinkedIn are already finished, there is also a screenshot shared by a man who happens to be fond of using emojis. He later used the "smiley face," but the other man said that the use of emoji is unprofessional. As a response, the latter replied with a "sad face" emoji.
There are times that adults become kids in a matter of seconds. That's what happened to the shared LinkedIn post of one user who happens to use a song reference along with the connection request that she sent.
While other posts have been hilariously constructed, there was a post of a married man who sent an unfitting message to a lady who went to LinkedIn to find a job after graduation. The man praised her graduation picture and said that if he wasn't married, he could have asked her for a drink.
Some LinkedIn Users Have Different Take to the Funny Posts
The original screenshots of the most cringe-worthy LinkedIn posts came from BoredPanda, which made a compilation of them earlier this week.
Indeed, this kind of post could be interpreted differently by some individuals. For example, there was an old LinkedIn forum that had discussed that memes should not be allowed on the platform.
At the end of the day, it still depends on the person whether he/she would appreciate a funny LinkedIn post with a pinch of salt or sugar.
