I am still working full time and have almost canceled mine.
It's essentially a festival of humble brag, self-indulgent public preening, laden with a blizzard of connection requests from sales people and recruiters seeking access to your network... with the occasional really thoughtful post or useful inquiry tossed in.
It's like picking through pistachio shells to find the one un-eaten nut at the bottom of the bowl.
How many times have we all read something like:
"So humbled and proud to be asked to speak at xyz useless event. It wouldn't have happened without the hard work of such a devoted team of co-workers...here's a link to my speaking event."
People who write that tripe should be banned from LinkedIn for life.
Sort of a weird topic, but for those who had an account on LinkedIn during your w**k years, once you retired did you close the account or maintain a presence?
I have been FIREd for 3 years now, but never removed my account. I feel like its the final step to "really" being retired. Almost like "maybe I will end up going back". Sounds silly I know, but I wonder if anyone experienced this?
