UnitedHealthcare fires employee over TikTok comment on Trump shooting | Fox News https://share.google/OJn3zAmT6FLDpbjUK

any takers?

my whole feed is corporate kissing up, self-branding, and fake humility - omg everything is overboard for fu--s sake

“honored and humbled” has become the official language of humblebragging.

every post somehow thanks an “incredible team” while making sure everyone knows who the main character is.

and of course, no milestone is complete without pretending john doe personally changed your life...

Does anyone else think the “ letter to your younger self” posts look like funeral cards for children. Every time I see one scrolling LinkedIn i gasp for a second. Probably getting people’s attention - just not sure it’s in the right way.

Us Weekly announced significant staff reductions. The company cut approximately half of its employees. This included the entire social media and español teams. Management cited weaker first-quarter performance as the reason. These layoffs reflect the challenging magazine industry landscape.

His 1ST skill listed is " FLYING".. Good luck to all who opt to stay for the show.

My entire feed, a-s kissing, self promotion, etc...

• Humbled and honored to share that I’ve been recognized as a thought leader
• Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an incredible, high-performing team
• Still pinching myself after this amazing milestone - none of this would be possible without John Doe

Welcome home, Artemis II.

Watching these astronauts travel more than 252,000 miles and return safely to Earth is a powerful reminder of what humans can achieve when we push beyond what’s known.

I’m proud of the role AT&T and FirstNet, Built with AT&T played—supporting NASA and helping keep teams and crew connected from launch through splashdown. When the connection matters, it has to be AT&T.

Congratulations to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and welcome home to the crew. Your courage to go farther than any human has gone before inspires discovery, possibility, and the belief that when we aim higher, we can go farther—together.

Simply put: thank you.

It is more and more visible in social media that people get angry and there is also copy paste trend about data protection. People are massively pasting under their random posts on Lnkdn the text:

“Is there a firewall separating OH patient data from your defense and intelligence infrastructure? Yes or no?”
And nobody responds.

Can somebody explain me what is this rumour about?

The Almighty JD Power has blessed the firm today with the top spot. Jonesnet spouts confetti when you open it. Penny raves in an 8+ minute video. But my favorite part of the day was an email from KJ - our great ELT leader.

“To help us amplify and extend the reach of this important milestone, consider adding a comment that celebrates the moment and shows your pride on EJ’s LinkedIn, Facebook and/or Instagram posts. USE WARM, POSITIVE LANGUAGE THAT HIGHLIGHTS OUR COLLEAGUES, CULTURE, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT.”

Got that, Team?

What is going on with the continual stream of postings on LinkedIn with our executives at charity events, groundbreaking ceremonies for non-profits, opening of trading floors at a university, and Leaders Group members discussing risk, AI, and advertising their latest speaking engagement outside of the company?

In HR and IT, it seems to be the norm to promote yourself outside of the company. Our EVP of HR (not a real position in other energy companies) is attending events and putting himself front and center at the opening of a university trading floor. Why is he even there?! Should that not be an opportunity to promote our traders and the trading leadership? Instead, he is front and center.

This all started under M@rk and the selection of the current EVP of HR and EVP and Chief Digital and Admin Officer. They promote themselves externally on social media, share their travel plans to foreign destinations with their teams, and are clearly angling for more senior roles outside of the company.

Meanwhile, employees are losing their jobs and we being told we need to manage our own careers.

The culture at PSX has been broken and these two “leaders” are a big part of the problem. M@rk, wake up and do something about it.

Where did that thread go? I was having dinner Friday with a buddy of mine who was in a position to know these type things and he said it got taken down, but i know I saw it Saturday after lunch and now I cannot find it? Can someone add it back, please. That would be awesome.

Where are the haters? Your response to this post without sounding mad?

Oracle has no public sense. Oracle twitter posting says:

The NVIDIA-OpenAI deal has zero impact on our financial relationship with OpenAI. We remain highly confident in OpenAI’s ability to raise funds and meet its commitments.

From the NLRB about "Social media"

"Whether or not you are represented by a union, federal law gives you the right to join together with coworkers to improve your lives at work - including joining together in cyberspace, such as on Facebook….

Using social media can be a form of protected concerted activity. You have the right to address work-related issues and share information about pay, benefits, and working conditions with coworkers on Facebook, YouTube, and other social media. But just individually griping about some aspect of work is not "concerted activity": what you say must have some relation to group action, or seek to initiate, induce, or prepare for group action, or bring a group complaint to the attention of management. Such activity is not protected if you say things about your employer that are egregiously offensive or knowingly and deliberately false, or if you publicly disparage your employer's products or services without relating your complaints to any labor controversy."

If you don't have any experience with pseudo anonymous forums online, just know that it's incredibly easy for literally one person to pose as multiple people to steer the narrative in any direction.

There are no IDs tied to individual posters or IP addresses here, so you don't even need to use different devices or a vpn to completely spam this forum.

People can and do pretend to be other people all the time, not just to troll but to try and warp reality to their perspective. Just something to keep in mind when you read posts here.

An walmart director posted like this in LinkedIn. Charging our culture.

If you know anyone impacted by the recent Amazon layoffs, my team at Walmart in Bentonville is hiring software engineers.

I’m an ex-Amazonian (AWS) and made the move a few years ago. We’re working on large-scale problems—platforms, AI, cloud architecture, and modernization efforts.

Questions? Reach out to our recruiter DM me directly.

Management seems to be shooting themselves in the foot by letting go of their talent and keeping the folks certainly good at kissing butts. It’s a shame. I guess they feel like they don’t need marketing anymore or social. Just my two cents.

I cannot applaud you enough. My sentiments exactly!

On Tuesday, the image-sharing social media platform Pinterest announced it plans to lay off around 15% of its workforce. The company made the announcement in a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Do we really need to see him flown to these fancy events as “special advisor” on the company’s dime?

Don’t let this chatter die out on these anonymous threads.
Post about it on social media.
Tell your friends.
Go on Reddit.

They despise bad press.

After all they quickly hid the fact that they removed DE&I. What a scramble and cluster that was? They don't want backlash and have been plotting strategically to hide their agenda.

Moments that matter are a complete joke.

There's way too many racist twelve year old trolls on this Gainwell page.

Hilarious that everyone that’s been laid off by t mobile, the very first thing they do is make a big post thanking T mobile lmao. The fakest sh-t I ever seen in my life. Just be real for a moment and post that way you actually feel. This is why Linkedin is so trash is because of how fake everyone is on there.

Has anyone joined the BOA social program?

Very fishy especially the linkedin posts from India about their annual/quarterly awards, posts about completing 6 months, 1 year, 1.5 years in TU. Seems extremely forced and artificial.

I know there was a HR level meeting when the glassdoor points dropped to 3.6 after the recent layoffs. I also heard that offer letter rejection rate is quite high recently. So, I guess the recent linkedin posts and glassdoor reviews are a damage control?

Saw this and got a good laugh

Go Go has a new video on LinkedIn where he talks about great leadership.
It’s very short and he just repeats a lot of the same stuff he’s said before.
What gets me is how many “likes” it gets from employees.

So many laid off VZ comrades are posting “so grateful to vz” posts all over likedin - social media is so cringe

Where did the stupid red chair come from anyway? All the LinkedIn profile pics in the red chair just look cringy IMO.
