GetHuman-ifrgsxza's review of LinkedIn customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's LinkedIn customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
GetHuman-ifrgsxza: ON Linkedin, PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE THE USERS OR CUSTOMERS WHILE THEY ARE THE PRODUCT BEING SOLD
GetHuman: Can you tell the rest of us a bit more from what happened on 11/25/17?
GetHuman-ifrgsxza: Linkedin: PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE THE USERS OR CUSTOMERS WHILE THEY ARE THE PRODUCT BEING SOLD**Linkedin like other tools of global fling, mass surveillance and thought control (egg facebook) has been put in place to lure people into something that simply doesn't exists: a free lunch. **Linkedin is the favourite tool of lazy people who don't want to make efforts or spend time to put their resume online or to adapt it to the companies they apply to.**Linkedin is the favourite tool of HR***Linkedin is the favourite tool of lazy HR people who don't want to make efforts or spend time to do their job of assessing resume, finding candidates, interviewing them to find the right candidate. ****They love it, with Linkedin, they think they have a gigantic database of "talents" (the "newspeak" word for worker or employee) at their disposal. ***They mistakenly think that the all world is there (while only a minority of real pros are using this piece of ****). **HR can go do what they do best thanks to Linkedin: ***Avoid direct contact with Human beings***spend their days at the coffee machine or online, on "social" media, buying clothes and make up products ***or chatting with their "friends” all day long, ***"Working" from home, getting up late, not answering any emails or calls ***Pretending to be important by participating to meetings after meetings all ore useless than the others. ***Etc..**Linkedin is the tool of choice for incompetent, lazy, arrogant, petty and egocentric HR employees.****This is where they post their fake job ads to "enhance" their "talent" "pool", not wondering why every candidate out there hate them for posting fake jobs and wasting their time.***Thanks to them and to the traditional crooks of the ‘recruitment” industry, Linkedin has become a vast platform of false advertising, data collection, spamming, junk and fraudulent adverts. **Besides the use made of Linkedin by these brave people, let's not forget that:****Linkedin "privacy" policy is a mock of privacy. I can get any information I want about anybody as long as they have made the mistake to join Linkedin (even those who set up their profile as the most private, I can still get all their info).**Linkedin is not a tool to find jobs:****Linkedin is designed for HR, recruitment “specialists”and sales people to spam, bother, file, monitor, post fake ads, spy and check on your former colleagues.***This is why millions of morons pay for "premium" accounts. Allowing them to violate further the privacy of other users.***Linkedin is like this guy who organise a party for his few friends and invite figuration people to make it look like he has thousands of friends and to fill the room. Guess who get the best parts?**Linkedin is involved in heavy harassment and bullying of their users. ****They decide to avoid users to access their accounts, bare them from some functionalities if the user doesn't comply to their political or corporate views. ***To bully users, Linkedin uses often the "bug" or "technical problem" trick with the message everyone knows:**"There was an unexpected problem that prevented us from completing your request". ***This is not only illegal, this is ethically low. *Linkedin ***** their “clients” (pigeon is the right word). ****when it comes to cancel payments on the people who made the mistake of signing for a premium account. Please read the thousands of complaints and rants on this subject on the web.**Last but not least, like their totalitarian counterpart ,Facebook, Linkedin isn't for free at all: **ON Linkedin, PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE THE USERS OR CUSTOMERS WHILE THEY ARE THE PRODUCT BEING SOLD

GetHuman-ifrgsxza: I'd give them a one out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about LinkedIn's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
GetHuman-ifrgsxza: For that I would say two out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other LinkedIn customers?
