LinkedIn is no less than a leaderboard for people running a rat race

The rat race amidst people working in corporates is inevitable. Everybody wants to win it. But nobody knows the true finish line of their career. While it feels intriguing to read fancy corporate jargons & success stories on LinkedIn, it adds an overwhelming pressure in you to a level you can’t recover from.

I have stopped using LinkedIn. I do not want to declare to the world that I got a promotion working in Tolaram & sons pvt. Ltd. I do not want to show the world that I have got a character certificate from a random.com site. Neither do I want to see how others are faring in this rat race.

I read books, I visit blogs on internet of my choice, I write blogs(not on LinkedIn) & that keeps me stay away from this rat race. I too am successful.

What’s your mantra to stay motivated as a corporate employee? Comment.

LinkedIn promotion showoff

Why is everyone on my linkedin feed shouting about their promotions? I understand the need for validation, but LinkedIn has become so irritating. Do people here value these career updates?

The LinkedIn Lunacy

I'm drowning in a sea of "I'm humbled and honored" posts. How do you use LinkedIn without losing your mind (or your authenticity)?
