Linkedin has ALWAYS been political. The only people who complain about it being political are the ones who attack any pro-Trump posters.

But then these were the same posters that change their icons to rainbow colors, profess their superior intellect for being allies to BLM and, of course, were all about supporting Obama.

But profess your love of country or support of Trump and it’s “StOp BrInGiNg PoLiTiCs To LiNkEdIn.” - signed the Chief Diversity Officer who just posted 15 gazillion stories of white oppression and how she’s making her company more diverse by firing the white guys.

Ironically, it was actually through LinkedIn where I found the value of "preferred pronouns" in a professional setting.

I had received a business inquiry from someone who works in a senior management role in my industry. It was a new client opportunity for me. It was a foreign name, and I wanted to address my response to "Mr. So-And-So" but I had no idea what gender this person was and didn't want to commit a professional faux pas by getting it wrong.

So I checked on LinkedIn and found that it was a woman -- and saved myself some potential trouble.
