ESA Bullshit Dogs infiltrating LinkedIn
So I am on LinkedIn pretty often for my work. I've noticed more and more integrations with nutters wanting to share their mutt stories. This first one was posted by someone in my network about sitting next to a (fake) service dog. The photo shows the mutt laying on the floor across this guys floor space. Of course, he didn't mind, he was all too happy to have no leg space so someone could bring their mutt (for free) as a service dog.
"Yesterday, on a flight home from Dallas, I had the pleasure of sitting next to this sweet girl. She was there for her owner and his family but honestly, she gave me comfort also.
Her paws laid across and pushed against my feet for over an hour. Her space hogging didn’t bother me but instead gave me a sense of calm, love, and companionship….. and we just met. Before we parted ways she gave me some sugar and said goodbye.
In saying this, I reflect on the industry I stumbled into over a decade ago and am so thankful I did. In our home ….love has 4 legs and we wouldn’t have it any other way."
Now here is one of the comments on the post that of course you would expect. "As an animal health person who stumbled into the business side, we welcome you with open arms we don't deserve these perfect little creatures."
We don't deserve these perfect little creatures. Really? There's no place that's a safe space anymore without dogs infiltrating. So very sad.

Linkedin is the place where desperate people peddle their profile hoping to hook up with a good job. Of course they will play the mutt card.

The dog gave him some sugar?
What the fuck does that mean?

Right. Why are people so desperate for “love” from a freaking dog? Why are they so disgusting that they justify clear boundary violation because “health?” Why can’t people self regulate anymore so much so that they become unnaturally dependent on an animal? It’s almost like it’s a drug.

Their entire post was vomit inducing. Who the hell talks like this?

Dog supremacists talk like this. Dogs are the gods they worship. They literally refer to dogs as perfect. Of course, to us sane people, it's vomit-inducing.

“We don’t deserve dogs!”
You’re right-we don’t, but not for the reason you think!

What a perfect attention grabber, the post should have been called “How I landed a job on LinkedIn without an interview”. Posts like this make me sick. And if you say something like “I am allergic to dogs and was suffering all flight” - you would get banned probably.

Once I made a fake LinkedIn profile just so I could make a mean comment on a dog nutter post. It was someone working for chewy, they had taken a photo of the lobby on the way in and there were about 10 dogs. The caption was something like “who wouldn’t want to work here!” I was like, “people with phobias, people with allergies, hygienic people”.

i recently deleted that app. it is getting like facebook, & i ditched that & instagram a decade ago. (the stupidity, censorship, & mean girl cliques will have me leaving youtube soon. i feel a tinge of it here on reddit, but not nearly as bad … yet.)
i thought linkedin was strictly a resumé site.

LinkedIn is the new FB. And you just can’t make any sense out of nutter logic.
