We’ve taken a trip to the Best Of LinkedIn Instagram account and gathered some of their funniest screenshots “highlighting the heroes and influencers brave enough to share their stories to inspire others.” Enjoy scrolling through this list that might give you secondhand embarrassment, and be sure to upvote the pics you find particularly cringey! We’re such big fans of JR’s work here at Bored Panda that this is the third time we’ve featured his accounts. And lucky for us, we’ve been able to get in touch with him in the past to hear more about the background of Best Of LinkedIn. The creator went on to share that a significant part of his job at the time was cold calling through LinkedIn. “I was already dissatisfied with my role, my career, and the company, so spending a few hours a day on LinkedIn just about pushed me over the edge,” he noted. “And nobody will call them out, for fear of losing their job or it blowing back on them professionally,” he added. “The entire platform lacks accountability, which is insane because its intention initially was to be just that.” “It’s a valuable business development tool, but sadly it’s been watered down by these self-proclaimed ‘LinkedInfluencers’ and their BS success stories,” the creator previously told Bored Panda. “LinkedIn could improve the user experience drastically by focusing on moderating these posts and suppressing them when they don’t offer anything valuable.” “Usually, they’ll try to doxx me or get me fired. Good luck, I’m a freelance Creative Director and don’t have a boss. I get paid to write things for social media and more. So yeah, I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to,” JR explained. “If you don’t like what’s being said about you on the Internet, the proper response isn’t to take your ball and run home. Or worse, take your ball and run and tell your parents.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
