LinkedIn vs reality; the overachievers Olympics

from The After Five Diaries · host The after five diaries pod

Ever opened LinkedIn and felt an immediate wave of career anxiety? One minute you’re just trying to get through your morning coffee, and the next, someone you went to university with is "deeply humbled" to announce they’ve been named a "Global Agile Evangelist" after attending a 30-minute webinar. Welcome to the Overachievers Olympics! In this episode of The After Five Diaries, we are pulling back the polished curtain on the corporate world's favorite flex app. We break down the performative pressure of professional platforms versus the messy, chaotic, and very human reality of the actual work behind the scenes.
