The point of a dating site is to meet potential connections and see how they blend into your world and vice versa. If you use that toxic language it's time to stop. People are not human resources, FTEs, Headcount etc. People are not objects and we need to treat them as people not objects. It's bad in the workplace, it's bad in dating and it's bad in everywhere else. If we trace back every terrible behavior that we all detest it starts with objectification. What's the real problem with these interactions? Objectification. If we pull that thread we can see that the behaviors that are offensive on LinkedIn aren't uniquely offensive to here they're undesirable behaviors period. In my head I started to compare LinkedIn to a dating site and came to the conclusion that it's fundamentally the same thing. The behavior behind it made me wonder why they have to do such things and act in such a manner. But acting like a child isn't winning anyone over, nor is it workplace acceptable. I totally get that no one wants to be subjected to bad behaviors. I hate that stupid viral post where people act like a petulant 2 year old and write something repeatedly while sticking their imaginary fingers in their ears. But as someone who prefers to keep her dating life and work life separate, I just don’t see the draw.Note- before you melt down, it's not exactly a dating site but the similarities are important. Otherwise, it works pretty much like Tinder you can like or pass profiles, and if two people like each other, they can start chatting immediately.Īs the Daily Dot points out, LinkedUp likely makes it easier for men and women to find matches if they want a partner who works in a specific field furthermore, on top of possibly making you look more polished to potential matches, it makes it a lot harder for anyone to lie about their occupation or income level. It lets you see where matches are from, where they went to school, and - perhaps most importantly - what they do for a living. No, LinkedUp uses your LinkedIn profile to play matchmaker for you - which, frankly, I think is the worst idea ever.Īccording to CLTampaBay’s Bed Post blog, LinkedUp creates your dating profile by pulling photos and basic biographical information from your LinkedIn profile. Like many dating apps, this one connects with one of your other social media accounts for ease of access unlike, say, Tinder, though, it doesn't use Facebook. Just when it seemed like we’d reached our saturation point for niche online dating apps, another called LinkedUp has just been thrown into the mix.
