Rage on LinkedIn. Send in the Trolls.
I am still surprised (and chuckling a bit) about the comments I got on a “tough love” post I published on LinkedIn. It wasn’t even one of my full-on rant posts, which people usually love. I knew it would be a little polarizing since I was suggesting job seekers use AI prudently. I expected AI […]
