Zuck Has Officially Lost His Mind
 

After a multi-year firing binge in which Facebook/Meta laid off tens of thousands of workers, guess who sends me an InMail to my LinkedIn account? Yes, that's right: a recruiter for Meta. :rolleyes:

What software developer would even consider working at a place that will completely **** you over based solely on one of Zuckerberg's whims? :lol:

I haven't replied to this guy yet - I'm debating whether to be professional or not in my response. :D

LI is full of fake recruiters

Be creative. Embed something nasty :lol:

you should do it for shits and giggles, see how far you can get in the process and how much $$ they'll offer, cereal.

It’s never a good idea to be disrespectful to a recruiter…

Unless you are actually retired, and DGAF anymore.

This!
After I retired I got a boat load of contact by recruiters on LI. I did resist the urge and just ignored them

Just be cordial, respectfully decline and thank him/he/they/shim etc for considering you.

Ok, that is the onetime you can tell the where to go…

Probably for the best. When I retired 3 years ago, I used to regularly get contacted by all kinds of people who "really wanted my skill set", and I would have been happy to do some consulting work. The problem is, they all wanted me to work for free, and I told them "I'm willing to work for cheap, but I will NOT work for free". I guess word got around, because I rarely get those calls and emails now.

Only reason I use it is because my employer purchased LI Learning accounts for everyone in my department. There's some good content on there and I keep it on in the back ground. Occasionally, I'll even stop what I'm doing to really pay attention.

They must be desperate if they're contacting you.

Either that or the OP is a closet-case leftist commucrat :ack:

Maybe they really need a COBOL programmer

Post up the email and the guy's address. We'll handle the rest. :cert:

Or are about to retire like me.
