Linkedin is seriously a frustrating place. People humble-bragging and virtue-signalling to their colleagues and future bosses makes me want to puke.
You have “certifications” where everyone who clicks through the material gets a certification. No effort, no test, nothing required whatsoever. And these people act like they did something.
Everyone warns about the dangers of doomscrolling.
I understand why.
I’ve spent countless nights doing it myself.
You start with innocent news updates.
Then suddenly it’s political outrage.
Then celebrity scandals.
Then conspiracy theories.
Then more outrage.
But nothing signals rock bottom quite like ending up on LinkedIn at 3 AM.
That moment when you’re mindlessly consuming “I’m humbled to announce” posts.
That realization when you catch yourself envying someone’s “career journey” update.
That horror when you almost comment “Congrats on this amazing achievement!” on a stranger’s certification post.
This is the final stage of digital despair.
The algorithm has won.
Tomorrow I’ll be better.
(But we both know I won’t)
