Who cares.
Who cares.
Dunno ask them.
If your employer is sorting out your LinkedIn profile for you then they may be trying to send a message.Originally Posted by Panda Bear
They did provide a proper headshot. He wore that coat on the first day and hasn't taken it off since.
you'd imagine people who post on linkedin
How many complaints have you had about your profile picture from LinkedIn users Kiko?
Atleast 1.
I don't think people who can't use capital letters count.
Then again perhaps they're all at that on linkedin.
can't or wOn't
Do more people have a linked in profile, than not?
I really don't understand it. Like, I can't get my head around social media that's just about work stuff. Do people really like their jobs that much that they want to comment on conferences and lame workstuff while they're not at work? Is that what it takes to reach a certain level of paygrade? F that S.
I genuinely cannot get my head around it. If those of you who use Linked In, or at least have a profile you've filled in, please explain why and what you do on it.
I'm a twit
Isn't it just for recruitment? I do not know as I do not have one.
Depends what field you're in, I suppose. I have one with no photo but my work history on it. When I'm looking for a new job, I turn the little "open to new opportunities" thing on and watch the recruiters come running.
That's all I use it for.
Edit: that sounds like such a dickhead brag. :kiko:
It's just what software is like though.
And then what happens? I presume they can DM (RIP "PM") you and send you links to job advertisements, inviting you to apply? Or is it more forward/personal than that and an actual person is like 'so I see you worked for 3 years at...' ?
I'm a twit
They don't send you links for jobs to apply for. They'll have roles they're recruiting for (some of which the companies don't bother to advertise themselves or if they do they'll do it somewhere stupid and obscure). They'll call you up, have a quick chat with you (basically to gauge that you're not a complete bellend) then send your CV over to whatever they have that you said you'd be interested in and get you an interview. They can be useful in pushing salary negotiations and shit too.
They're pretty much all dickheads (they're essentially salesmen who make their money off commission from placing people in jobs) but they can be useful.
Until this point...
They used to have a roaming photographer when we were in the office which could take one but I haven't worked in an office so used a picture when I was with phonics as then it reminds me of the informality of life.
As Boydy says, Linkedin can provide a use from a recruitment pov. As much as this makes me sound like a :kiko:, you can use it to brand yourself to people who might employ you or look to employ you. It's a self promotion tool (which might not be that necessary if you have real skills like First Aid Champion or Mental Aid Superdog under your belt).
Sticking up someones profile picture is a bit of a scum move but kiko probably doesnt care so whatever.
LinkedIn is grand when youre looking for something, more and more are advertising on it rather than job sites. Good for running a company page too, nobody even knew it existed before I took it over.
You have to ignore the news feed though as its gone into a complete Facebook style cesspit these days.
I thought it was a bit off tbh.Sticking up someone’s profile picture is a bit of a scum move but kiko probably doesn’t care so whatever.
Dont be fooled, Giggles. The posting of the picture was agreed in THE GROUP beforehand.
It's acceptable to browse LinkedIn during work hours and it has a chat function, so you can talk shit with mates whilst pretending it's work related.
Writing blogs is a bit much but I can see how someone might get dragged into it if they liked their job.
Getting Pavel in to take the picture was the real genius of the move.
It can be a bit like this sometimes:
Is that a good or a bad thing?
Kiko probably isn't too far from using Giggles to write a post on strength and resilience.
I just post pictures which say "double tap if you want something amazing to happen" to rack up those sweet sweet likes.
Nope. Pavel's gig photos were all in black and white. Mr. 'I can see colours better because I've got Aspergers' only does monochrome.
"As a young farm hand in rural Ireland, I never dreamed I could be more than a minor cog in the Farming industry, never mind a major cog in the worlds financial machine. Then one day my Da took me to the abattoir; I saw the stun guns and circular saws in action. it all clicked into place. I still use these principles daily."
Not what I had in mind but I much prefer it this way. Someone Photoshop the Ireland flag in behind Kikó's mugshot so he can update his profile picture.
They have posters up at work asking people to apply to be "domestic abuse champions", which just sounds to me like the person who's best at domestic abuse.
Unfortunately Wullie beat you to it when this came up before with a better joke:
I didn't make a joke.
Alright Dr Serious.
HERE WE GO!

Dr Acula?
My mate has gotten proper addicted to it, it seems like he spends half his time posting shit like "wow yes this is really interesting @boring cunt original poster, I can see how important this will be for optimizing data analysis", to which they only ever like or put something like "yeah cheers mate".
He even posts his own shit like "here are 5 principles I follow on a daily basis to.." blah blah and I'm pretty sure his job is mostly fannying around on excel. Bit culty, but I can see how it would be useful if you're actively looking for work/employees.
Desperately trying to engage with LinkedIn influencers is probably even lamer and thirstier than those middle aged weirdos who use Twitter solely to post shit like "wow baby you are really gorgeous today" to random pornstars and bots.
My old gaff asked us to post stuff and also comment with that nicey nice bollocks as well. It was usually only the psychopaths and autists that actually did it.
shit. sorry dude.
Here's a pic of the new and improved Kikó anyway:

Today I had a spiced Tomato soup, Salmon with garlic/herb mash, courgettes, kale and a creamy white wine sauce, Lemon Sole with sauted potato, green beans and lemon butter, Sirloin with tomato, mushroom, peas and potato wedges and finally, my curry of the day which was meant to be a Madras but I fucked it, played with it, came up with something pretty nice tbh.
I'll take it to the food thread if need be but do throw out some ideas and I'll do my take on it for next week.

Just had a cracking call from one of our semi-regulars, a guy who repairs boat engines and often orders parts from us. I've always thought he sounded a bit unhinged, but then a lot of these guys are, working stupid hours to put engines right. He wanted a cylinder head worth two grand, but he has five grand overdue for payment, so I said we couldn't sell him any more until he paid up.
He said listen, I'm having a tough time at the moment. I said well, I'm sorry about that, but... He said I've had a row with the missus. I'm living out of a hotel room. I said well, that sounds a pain, but... He said you know how it is, with women. I said not really. He said well, the problem is, my credit card's in her house, and I can't get in. I said can't you get her to send it by post? He said the problem is, she won't speak to me, and the police have been involved. I said the police? He said yeah, the police.
This went on for another five minutes before he got in a massive huff and put the phone down because I wouldn't send him a brand new cylinder head without payment.
If you knew how it is with women you would've sent him the cylinder head for free.
Not sure if "the police have been involved" is part of his catch-all "You know how it is with women" (maybe it is always that way for him) or if he was just hoping at that stage you'd go "Ah, no further questions!" and send him the part at that stage.
I'm guessing that if he's the one claiming that the police have been involved then she might be the axe murderer of the pair, but you never quite know with these people.
"You kick in one door brandishing a baseball bat and 'er indoors gets all mardy and phones the law."
Heh.
Typical woman.
I love the fact Jim gets all these. Hates the public but they pour their hearts out.
In the office today for the first time at this job. Decided to walk in as it wasn't raining when I left the house but it started pissing down on my way and I got drenched.
Also not being able to vape at my desk is annoying.
Think people returning to offices will definitely produce a few of these scenes.
The music in the office is starting to drive me mad.
I also miss the cat.
