I have put myself in a bit of a pickle. I took up the free trial of LinkedIn premium and forgot to cancel the subscription before the payment due date. Now I need to pay a substational amount of money when I won't necessarily be using the service! I know, entirely my fault for not cancelling. It is before pay day so the transaction has bounced.

If I were to not make a payment entirely, and it continued to bounce. Would LinkedIn eventually block or remove my linkedin account? Anyone know?

So my company opened up a new location and hired a Manager. This person came across as charming, likeable and competent but he was in fact an absolute nightmare and a terrible Manager. He lied consistently, the money was always out and so many other things that I can't list for legal reasons.

One day he stormed out after screaming abuse at the person who hired him so the company decided that he had resigned and told him not to return. Most of the remaining staff were relieved.

Turns out that he's now lying on his LinkedIn profile. He's increased his hire date by several weeks, took credit for work not done in a lengthy post and is claiming to still work at the company but is "open to other opportunities".

I wouldn't wish that psychopath on my worst enemy but we heard on the grapevine that another company in our industry might be hiring him based on the lies he's spinning about his experience with us.

The audacity is astonishing considering how much trouble he caused. If our company reports this to LinkedIn will they do anything about it?

Are there groups or something where people connect to each other for the sake of increasing their number of connections?

We’re Journety, a small startup currently preparing the launch of a travel app.

We want to start sharing more of the process on LinkedIn, but we really don’t want our page to become the typical stream of:

“We’re thrilled to announc”, “Big things are coming…”, “We’re excited to share…” bla bla bla

We’d rather make it useful, interesting and a bit more honest so I’d love to hear what people here would actually want to see from a small startup building a product before launch. Would you be more interested in things like:

• Features we’re working on before release
• Decisions we make and why
• Things that went wrong or didn’t work
• Polls where the community can influence decisions
• The story behind the startup
• Industry insights related to what we’re building

Or something completely different? We’re still small enough that feedback can genuinely influence how we communicate and even some of the things we build.

If you followed a small startup before launch, what would actually make you want to keep following its LinkedIn page? And what would make you unfollow immediately?

Thanks redditors!!

Looking for a few B2B professionals who want to grow on LinkedIn and support each other.

We can write the content together. We schedule the posts 3x a week, we comment and like to support each other's posts.

Ideal:

- you are a B2B professional, expert or Founder

- want to post 3x a week as well as help each other

- want to get clients, recognition etc.

- ambitious

I am recently depressed, Why does everyone you know or everyone in university have everything. internships, jobs, multi million user visits on their creation, president role, etc.

I am an active person and feel like did a lot but despite the things they have is not even my goal, makes me still feel so left behind.

I’ve kinda just been following random people already on my course

everyone wants to be expert posting everything relevant and irrelevant. Why everyone wants to be sound like more and more expert? I've seen some few people who are not so good in their jobs and still they post some heavy words and ai generated slops and call themselves expert lol.

I have an obligatory LinkedIn profile because I own a business and I have to say, I have never met a less compliant platform in regards to respecting my unsubscribe. Its gotten to the point where i have had to report it as spam. No matter how many times I unsubscribe both within the platform or via the email response option, sooner or later I start getting emails from them again.

I cant be the only one that finds LinkedIn particularly frustrating with their lack of respect for their own checkboxes?

We've heard from a lot of members that some of the missing filters make it harder to search the way they're used to. We're working on bringing back several of the most-requested filters, and we're also temporarily restoring the option to switch back to the previous search experience while we continue improving the new one.

 

Our goal with AI-powered job search is to give you flexibility to describe what you're looking for in your own words, including details you might normally use a filter for and things that don't fit neatly into a filter. That said, we know filters are still a key part of the experience for many people, so we’ve kept some of the most-used filters available and introduced suggested filters below the search bar. These suggestions adapt to what you search for, helping you narrow your results quickly.

 

Thanks for continuing to share your candid feedback. We're listening, and we'll keep making improvements based on what we hear.

I've got only 38. 😭 ,I would like to push it up, please. Let me know your thoughts

My posts on LinkedIn took a dive after the recent algorithm changes — I know that I'm not alone, that's not what this post is about.

I've now seen so many people quote examples, like I used to get 1,000 views or I regularly got 50 likes, now I barely get 5 for any new posts.

I'm starting to wonder — and I'm putting it out there for discussion — whether Microsoft, in its ever increasing search for revenue, has done this on purpose hoping that more users will start paying to boost reach (especially those who valued their LinkedIn follower base and engagement)?

Is it a change to the algorithm for a better user experience or is it a money grab?

Keep in mind, this is the same Microsoft that tried to force everyone to pay for CoPilot as part of their Office 365 subscription renewal. We know how that ended. Customer revolt (only 1% of users now pay for CoPilot — an epic flop if ever I've seen one). I went one step further, I cancelled Office 365 for good. And don't miss it.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m fairly new to LinkedIn and I’d love to learn how to use the platform more effectively. I’ll soon be starting my first year in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Ottawa 🧬🔬.

I’d love to hear from other students and professionals about how you use LinkedIn — especially for networking, finding opportunities, connecting with people in your field, and building a strong profile as a student.

If you have any advice for someone just getting started, I’d really appreciate it! 😊

Looking forward to connecting and learning from you! 💙

I dropped out during my senior year of college (because I was a transfer student, I had about a year and a half of bs classes left to take), and I don’t intend on going back. I was on the President’s List before I dropped out. Any idea how to showcase this? I’m only seeing the option to state a degree.

Became a LinkedIN f*ck boy just over a month ago and the progress is coming along nicely.

Although reading my own posts does make me cringe from time to time.

Almost 100k impressions in 38 days.

Mainly posting about industrial field service missions, fixing machines.

I have been looking for a job change casually, not that desperate, and I noticed that LinkedIn has so many fake job postings just to increase the reach of the job poster’s page.

They show companies as authenticated based on their followers, and the most interesting part is that there is an auto-checked checkbox in Easy Apply that automatically follows the job poster/company page.

So companies can gain reach on LinkedIn, which is apparently one of the things stakeholders/investors demand. They just post jobs instead of using authenticated posts.

If anyone knows why LinkedIn does this, or if I’m wrong about this, please tell me in the comments.

EDIT: Yeah, I know I can uncheck that checkbox, but that shouldn’t be a reason to divert from the actual point I’m making.

Also, at least they should give that filter to paid users because no one will buy LinkedIn Premium for any other reason than job searching.

Unless I'm a recruiter or in sales, any sort of engagement on the site will put my current employer on edge, thinking that I may be increasing my activity on there directly to increase awareness of my profile, or simply because I was already increasing my activity on the site searching for a job--which led to increased activity in posts/comments.

And even if that weren't a rick to consider, there's also the fact that your employer will see your commentary on there and critique or judge you for how you're representing the company. Or worse, they may feel like you're sharing information that you shouldn't be sharing.

For example, I saw a post about AI and I wanted to share my perspective on its adoption in general, but I know if my employer saw that, they would likely assume I am making that comment as a representation of how they handle AI.

I have basically no personality on LinkedIn because I'm super concerned about my employer watching my every interaction on there. It doesn't help that our company, like many, has a specific policy about how we're meant to use social media.

So, yeah, anyone able to provide direction or ideas on solving for this?

Die meisten von uns wissen, dass Ghostwriting nicht mit dem Text beginnt, sondern mit dem starken OnBoarding und den Fragen davor.

Ich will den Menschen verstehen.

Ich will wissen, wie er spricht, wie er denkt, wie ein Unternehmen führt und welche Prozesse und Learnings ihn dahin gebracht haben, wo er heute ist.

Ich hab mir überlegt, den OnBoarding Call zu transkribieren und danach eine Sprachanalyse zu machen, einfach um die Muster herauszuarbeiten, um danach konkret für ihn schreiben zu können.

Meine Frage ist jetzt aber:

Mit welchen Fragen habt ihr eure Ghostwriting Kunden komplett aus der Reserve gelockt?

Welche Fragen vorab haben euch am meisten weitergeholfen, um eure Kunden besser zu verstehen?

Hi there, I find it hard to stick to the platform and I really want to use it. I'm looking for an accountability partner in the B2B Founder segment where we could both support each other, contribute to posting and helping each other with prospecting. Maybe we could do business together too.

Ideal:

Have experience in the B2B segment around sales & marketing (so we can both support each other)

Active business/founder so we both understand the ups and downs of the sales process

Committed to regularly posting and prospecting on LinkedIn (even if you are just starting out)

Am I dreaming too big?

Let me know in the comments.

We aren’t connected on LinkedIn. If a notification was already sent, does it stay there even after the block, or does it disappear?

For context, I went on a few dates with this guy and he hasn’t texted, so I’m admittedly overthinking this more than I probably should. 😭
