It seems I have a Vendetta against LinkedIn, but it's the only social media I use.
Those who post excerpts from religious books as part of a "farewell to the company" post, for instance:
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven” - Ecclesiastes 3:1
People need to stop. Appreciate the poetic side of it, but I don't think this belongs on LinkedIn.
Unless you work for a religious organization or as a company which routinely sends best wishes for religious holidays, a random corporate worker quoting religious books verses has no place on a professional website in my opinion. I don't care what religion you are. You want to post Bible verses, go on IG or Facebook. Perhaps it's just me, but I don't find it appropriate, the same way I wouldn't find it appropriate to debate religion or politics at work. People need to remember that although LinkedIn is a social media platform, it is to be used for professional purposes.
Another one today. Some person posted a picture of their desk saying "I'm back in the office (hashtag bank name)" and in the background, they had their entire Outlook mailbox open and in display. You could see the content of one open email this person was reading as well as the title of some other emails above which all pertained to banking transactions. You don't even need to zoom in to see the email titles including the amount/currency etc.., email folders etc... They're easily readable. The worst part is the local CEO commented on this post sending them best wishes. Don't they see it's a serious breach? What the heck is wrong with them? I work in banking myself and shocked doesn't even begin to describe what I think of this.
