Just saw a selfie of a CEO crying... He had to let his team go. This is why personal branding sucks. Instead of making it about his employees by sharing links to their profile so we could help them find a new job. He managed to make it all about himself. Only on Linkedin.

Let's normalize letting people admit they work for money. I love my job, but if I didn't get paid, I wouldn't do it. Let's stop with these virtue messages. It's called WORK for a reason. Don't make it deeper than it needs to be.
