I haven’t tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.
I’ve had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don’t want to use LinkedIn, but it’s pretty much a requirement in my industry.
I’m not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona’s ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.
This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it’s being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.
I feel you. Unfortunately it still has the main purpose. Its really just that people treat it like a social media site. Im on it as a way to verify I worked places by my connections to people who also worked there and to get and giver references and basically to have an online resume. I do sorta like like the messaging as a way to put up a bit more of a bar to contact to me over spamming my email. One thing that kind of cracks me up but I put forward with ai is if it was so good it should theoretically make finding and filling positions almost automatic since it should be able to parse anyone who is actively looking for work.
