Apparently, "Being Professional" means nothing more than "having a job" or even simply "being human."
Hey, guess what? I can do this without LinkedIn. Now, how do I go about convincing LinkedIn of this?
But from LinkedIn's point of view, "Being Professional" also means remaining tied to LinkedIn even if you aren't looking for a job or seeking help. It means getting endless Emails urging you to check out who is looking you up, what everyone else is doing, and in short using a "service" you don't really need and aren't at all interested in using because you're already employed, don't need the ads, or simply Have a Life. A life in which too much time is spent trying to Unsubscribe from LinkedIn.
Sorry, but I'm not interested in spending several minutes every day Congratulating people I haven't seen or heard from in years for their Anniversary at Their Latest Address That Pays Them. Call me distant, but I just don't care if someone I worked with, taught, or knew casually twenty years ago posted something about something that has nothing to do with me. I don't need LinkedIn cluttering my inbox with notices that this or that person has done this or that thing at this or that company. I'm simply. Not. Interested. Because I simply. Don't. Care.
But again- good luck Unsubscribing. It ain't happening. The Facebook of Capitalism will never let you go. So remember this person? They posted an update. Go check it out. NOW.
