I suspect that since a quarter of my fellow co-workers got the pink slip a few weeks ago, tat I too will get one soon. I haven’t updated my resume in a while and would love if there was a self hosted LinkedIn alternative or something. Anyone got any idea if that’s a thing yet?

    It will never be a thing. The capitalists would never allow it. Also HR professionals are like, the lowest level of teeeechnically undergrad-level educated communications majors. They’re not going to fuck with some activitypub shit. These people are barely smart enough to not drown in the rain.

      ok, but what about the selling point for recruitment firms that “you don’t need to pay $190 a month to unlock Sales Navigator Advanced for each of your recruiters”? or is that perhaps a feature, sorting out the weeds who can’t afford the monthly fee?

      And remember these are the same people handling all your personal info on the computer :)

      At least mine knows how to password protect pdfs…and then sends me the password in a separate email. Its not a fail, but I wouldn’t call it a success either.

        I got my company to start using bitwarden. That was a huge step and 1/4 of the company forgot their password in the first 60 days. I sent a big email detailing how to make a mnemonic device with a passphrase that bitwarden generates 😂 complete with photoshop drawings on one i generated. no forgotten passwords since

          How many set their password to your example? They just look up the password when they forget.

          Its cool you got them using bitwarden, I should probably get my company to switch, I know there’s a PDF company account passwords floating around…but I’m pretty low on the totem pole.

            Well, I didn’t think anyone would be dumb enough to do that, but you might be right…

            I am also very low. I just pretty much let someone else take credit for it so that it would actually be taken to management.
