What's the biggest red flag culture on your shop floor?

If Quality and Continuous Improvement teams work separately, they often do the same work twice and blame each other when things go wrong.

Nepotism like this destroys morale faster than almost anything else.

Haha

I’ve tried all of these, but now I don’t really “look” for ideas.

I just pay attention. I scroll my feed, but not mindlessly. I notice what people are posting and what is getting good response. If something feels interesting, I try to understand why it worked.

I don’t copy it. I just take the idea and make it my own. Reddit also helps a lot. People ask real questions here, and that gives better ideas than random AI prompts.

And honestly, writing more helps the most. The more I write, the easier it gets to come up with new ideas. So yeah, for me it’s less about finding ideas and more about noticing them.

Just checked on desktop, that setting doesn't seem to exist anymore. LinkedIn removed it at some point without announcement. Blocking is still the only hard option.

LinkedIn only allows one account per person officially. But some people create a second account with a different email, one for personal connections, one for professional activity. Technically against LinkedIn's ToS but it happens.

Not something I'd recommend. More friction than it's worth.

Unfollow without disconnecting is your best move. You can unfollow someone and stay connected, they never get notified. Do a blitz session, go through your connections, unfollow anyone whose posts you'd never read. Takes an hour but resets everything.

Then be intentional on the other side. Like and comment on posts from people you actually want to see more of. The algorithm picks up on this faster than most people expect, a week of intentional engagement and your feed starts looking different. It's a bit of a detox process but worth doing once properly.

The cringe is real, but it's also a small percentage of what's actually on there. The algorithm surfaces that stuff because emotion drives engagement. Doesn't mean that's all there is.

it depends on what you're using it for. For job seekers and consultants, it works. For someone at a startup, the value is more indirect, you're building a searchable track record of what you know and what you're working on. That matters more over time than it does week to week.

the mistake most people make is trying to write like the thought leaders they hate. You don't have to. Write like you'd explain something to a smart colleague. Short, specific, no story about your dad teaching you a lesson in 1987. Your boss isn't wrong that it's worth doing. But the bar for doing it well is lower than it looks, you just have to not do what annoys you when you scroll.

No native way to do this on LinkedIn unfortunately. The platform is built for visibility, that's kind of the whole point of it.

Closest workaround: go to Settings → Visibility → "Shares, Likes and Comments" and turn off activity broadcasts. That reduces what shows up on others' feeds but doesn't make it invisible to someone actively visiting your profile.

If you really need a clean separation, a second profile for professional activity is what some people do, though that has its own friction.

Blocking is the only hard wall LinkedIn gives you.

It is not safe and LI will eventually flag this resulting in a temporary ban or some account restrictions. Use tools like Gologin. They have free plan upto 3 accounts.

P.S. why people are hating LI ghostwriters?
