Has anyone ever congratulated someone on a work anniversary?

I might have liked one of those notifications, but that’s about it.

half the time I find they don’t even work at that company anyway, and if they’ve been at my company for a long time they deserve commiserations, not congratulations.

I do it to people who I know hate work.

Last time I was between jobs I got a lot of freelance work via LinkedIn, often directly by publishers and agencies rather than recruiters. Now that I am looking for a new job again, no one has contacted me at all, no one.

Hate it but cant stop going on it. So many posts about stuff that obviously isnt true like

‘I saw this homeless guy and he told me he used to work with computers. I immediately thought of a client i had who could use his skills and gave them a call. They agreed to give him a chance. I out him up in my home for 3 months to get him back on his feet and 3 years later the same homeless guy is MD of the company, earning a 6 figure salary, and is the Godfather to my child. Always be prepared to give people a chance’

So cringey, so awful. My favourite of all the social medias

I haven’t had any recruitment agencies get in touch but maybe I can’t see their messages for all the bands sending me their demoes.

I had a mixture of “Congratulations!” and “Wow, you’re still there?” when I hit a 5 year work anniversary. It encouraged me to find another job like I had been planning for the previous 2 years.

Do I have to know anyone or make connections or can I just use it to pamper my ego?

Just had a recruitment consultant send me an add request on Linkedin and this was their profile background:

LinkedIn Autogenerated Chats
Use autogenerated responses in LinkedIn to try and be as creepy as humanly possible. Almost wet myself laughing doing this.

I hardly ever get bothered by recruitment people on LinkedIn but I had one contact me a week ago saying they had a job role suited to me. as i only pimp out my more ‘creative’ stuff on the site, naturally I was intrigued and asked to see the spec.

It turns out the role was my old job at a company I’d left over six years ago… :roll_eyes:

Got contacted on LinkedIn yesterday by I company that offered me a job a year ago and turned down as I had another offer. This time offering me a £10k sign on bonus. The industry is sooo desperate right now anyone with a bio/medical background and needs a job hit me up.

Oh my god autoresponses are one of the funniest things of all time. My best mate and I went through a phase of dicking around by having lengthy conversations solely through LinkedIn autoreplies. GOOD EVENING cropping up halfway through a fucking conversation (in the morning!!) was what tipped me over the edge but an increasing number of the same emoji in a row was also a highlight
