Work anniversaries outshine climate disaster posts on LinkedIn
Original: My post about 19 years at Sapient exploded on LinkedIn. Posts about climate disasters get almost no attention there. Peo
A long-time Sapient employee says a post marking 19 years at the company drew huge engagement on LinkedIn, while posts about climate disasters barely get noticed there. The observation has struck a chord, with people agreeing that professional networks reward personal career milestones far more than urgent global issues like the climate crisis.
Why now: It highlights a widely felt frustration that social media algorithms and audiences prioritise personal celebrations over existential global problems.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 4 snapshots from 5 h ago to 1 h ago.
Evidence
- My post about 19 years at Sapient exploded on LinkedIn. Posts about climate disasters get almost no attention there. People seem to celebrate work milestones much more than caring about our future. # LinkedIn # ClimateCrisis # SocialMedia · holger@hellinger.wtf · 3
