LinkedIn Is a Horrible Place
I covered it here, but in December I got canned from a job — which sounds more severe than it is because I’m in real estate. You just kind of gather up your clients, hopefully they stay with you, and you go to a different job. Different flag. Take down one, put up a different one. That’s what happened to me. Not saying it wasn’t bad, but it’s different.
So I had to get back on LinkedIn. I was locked out of my old account. It is the most humorous place on earth.
And it scares me for this blog. If there’s any writing here like a LinkedIn post… I won’t apologize, I don’t think there is. But maybe that’s my anxious head speaking.
OMG they are taking the smallest kernel and expanding it into “thought leader content” and really pushing it broad and loud.
So what is it? It’s internal marketing to those higher up in their company and big-dickery.
That’s it.
Last night I saw someone talking about a building I’ve been working on for three years, like giving insight into on it. What may have happened. A breathless statement on real estate that is only total bullshit. It’s ridiculous.
So this is not me saying things are going to change here or whatever. It’s not going to be like that. And I don’t think it’s been like that.
Coming up with something every day is not easy. But it’s also not hard.
My thing is the thing I’ve said here probably a number of times: if I can’t think of one interesting thing to say a day about music, why am I in music?
I’m going to take a little diversion starting tomorrow, but the post will apply in a musical context.
So all two of you who read this regularly are going to shut up and endure it.
