@lcooney.bsky.social Oh it’s definitely an issue but it’s been true for résumés since they were invented. Professional ethics is more rare than you would hope. LI just lets us see this “at scale” and marvel at how bad it is. I don’t think there’s anything to “do” about it unfortunately.
@lcooney.bsky.social I meant that you should tell the friend that reached out to you what your view of the events on that person’s LI was, not that you should do anything publicly with it. Let them decided if it’s just exaggeration or more. If I was the hiring manager that’s what I would want.
@lcooney.bsky.social Are you implying that people might exaggerate their accomplishments on LinkedIn?!? Shocked, I’m just…shocked. Also, you should definitely pass on your recollection of the situation.
@rincewind.run Yes! Sometimes there just is no “answer”, there is just making it work again.
@rincewind.run I often remark to people how incredible it is that computers work as well and as often as they do. Once you consider the multiple thousands of different engineers and programmers working separately for dozens of companies on every level, from hardware to software, it’s amazing they boot at all.
