Monday Morning Murmudgeon: Grossed out, on LinkedIn

05.23.2022 by David Murray // 4 Comments

On LinkedIn, an employee communication consultant posts a selfie, preening oceanside.

“Slow down,” he writes. “I’m always reminded of that important lesson when I’m on Kauai.”

More than 100 “likes,” and comments such as: “Great leadership insight to carry forward.”

I’m telling you, when anthropologists piece together what happened to America ten thousand years from now, they shouldn’t dissect the divisiveness on Twitter, they should look at the logrolling on LinkedIn.

    I’m surprised he wasn’t honored and proud to have learned that lesson on Kauai.

    You mean “humbled,” Glynn?

    I recently saw an elaborate LinkedIn selfie, elegantly composed, of a CEO in her home yoga room with matt and blocks, etc. announcing that she was taking a much-needed mental health-day and encouraging her colleagues and contacts to take the time for self care…by staging selfies and writing notes about work?

      Narcissism never takes a day off, Christian.
