Linkedin is just brain rot for boomers and Gen X

was scrolling through Linked In and just realised how trash it is. Scrolling through it makes me feel like I am watching one of those dumb cotton eye joe reels on instagram 

Made me keen to hear some of the stupidest things seen on LI for a good laugh. Ill start:

A former colleague of mine (intern) was looking for a new job. Somehow (seriously i don't get how), they uploaded his CV and Cover letter to their entire LI feed, with the title "Company X CV and Cover letter". They even spelled the name of their current company wrong, proceeded to list out a bunch of BS on projects he supposedly worked on, and wrote the single worst cover letter in existence. Somehow he has kept his internship to this day..? I suspect he was kept around to be a running joke for the MD's of the firm.
