How so? It's factually correct & LinkedIn is the right forum for career updates. If we were talking about FB, I would get your gripe.

Why do you need to post about it? Update your profile when you start the job.

It lets the recruiters on LinkedIn, former mentors, professors, etc know that their upcoming employments needs are already filled. Personally, it makes me happy to see these updates. I imagine it saves recruiters time.

Again, what's the problem? Why do you care? It's like complaining that your FB feed is full of kids & food. If you don't like what the channel is for, why are you on it?

+1 Be glad that your life is so good OP that this counts as one of your major irritants.

I'm sure you don't mean for it to come off that way, because you are in denial about just how bitchy it is, but it is and it does.

Well at least they have a LinkedIn account. Smart move actually - because it comes off as confident of their career path and they are networking and making connections. That’s awesome!

You kidding right? High schoolers have Linkedin profiles these days.
