director of demand generation
You just gotta love those LinkedIn idiots… I am a protein rotation specialist, also known as a burger flipper at McDonald’s
The only difference between that example and this woman is that the guy at McDonald’s is doing actual work with actual results where this director of demand generation is a job that is entirely made up and doesn’t do shit.
Any company having a demand generation director is a huge red flag that should be avoided like the plague
This is the third “Jesus Christ” I’ve said out loud and I’ve only been on Lemmy for three minutes.
What a weird way to say your company is probably garbage
I work/worked with a few executives I look up to, none of them use linkedin. They all have an account as they must, but that’s it. Talking about e.g., SVP, CEO, CTO leading hundreds or thousands of people.
I also know one that owns their own consulting firm, taking out a few millions of profit every year, they still have a picture from their previous job and never post, except job openings.
I absolutely despise current linkedin, it used to be a platform to connect with colleagues and apply to jobs. Now it’s just one of the N+1 social medias where the algorithm can show you content by narcisstic people you don’t care about. It Freak me outTM that somebody could look at this dumpster fire and not understand what is people’s problem with it.
it did let me find out who in my workplace is a nazi sympathizer, by allowing me to view who reposted pro-charlie-kirkk stuff
Well, at least I have a spine and refuse to go with the flow. No Facebook, LinkedIn, Xitter or whatever that sewer is called these days and I’m just fine with that. Just a bit of Lemmy for some discussions and memes, but fuck having to share everything you do.
If I could not post on LinkedIn more strongly I would. Maybe I should start hacking into accounts to delete their posts
Gonna post my fucking furry yiff porn on LinkedIn
When the CEOs were talking about inflation, I don’t think that’s what they had in mind LMAO
Less shameful than the CEOs who go on there and spam AI-generated “Thought Leadership” slop.
Oh, they should post furry yiff porn with the hashtags ThoughtLeadership. Add some human generated text about being a thought leader by posting outside the box and wonder why no one seems to be posting their favorite yiff porn.
You’ve got manager material in you, son.
How does sharing my thoughts and strategies with people I am competing for jobs with give me an edge over them?
(I actually do advise my peers all the time but I want to know why these idiots think that)
Highly paid bullshit jobs are all about social perception in networks.
The point is to post something that makes it appear as if you’re already ahead of the game, and to use as many buzz words as possible so that you will appear in searches, or someone remembers you knowing something about those words.
It does not matter if the “strategy” makes any sense at all. It’s not like anyone reads it, or that anyone tries it out, or even if you know anything about it. All these posts with motivational and strategic wisdom are just “tags” for people trying to sell themselves.
The people involved in those games rely on each other to support this self-induced value. It’s like “fake it till you make it”, with the twist that they never actually do anything. When they fail, they’ll hopefully have enough other people involved, so that they can only fail upwards.
My crew are the most sought after talent in our little niche of the tech world. To my knowledge, not a single one of us posts on LinkedIn. The people that actually do the work don’t have time for bullshit and probably have multiple open offers to join other orgs at all times.
Are these satire?
Top one is, bottom one not sure
Can’t really ignore advice from a “director of demand generation”.
That’s a mouthful but I guess “director of convincing people to buy our shit products” is too on the nose.
yeah it’s just b2b marketing. Source: I help trucking companies talk to manufacturers about the trucks and trucking services they can use to ship their goods, it’s “demand generation.”
They should check LinkedIn before asking persons to come in for interviews if that’s their requirement. Save everyone some time
But then they wouldn’t get a story to post about on LinkedIn.
That sounds entirely too efficient for middle management.
In defense of the lady, it was a marketing position, the guy parody example is an engineer, they’re not the same.
You’re going to pay that person’s salary… Why would you want them giving their ‘work’ away for free on a platform you don’t own?
Only fucking sycophants and frauds give a rats ass about linked it. It’s the business equivalent of myspace
Social media that doesn’t provide me with a modicum of anonymity and privacy just isn’t for me. You’d think that would count for something when you’re in a tech position.
FYI, it takes time to delete yourself from LinkedIn. I think it took a month? Not sure anyone needs to know about this.
Unfortunately for me it’s the best place to try and get a job nowadays.
It was the worst for me, I don’t why I kept it so long. It was just people trying to sell me stuff or get me to hire them.
