Wikipedia says: No-see-ums, scientifically known as “Ceratopogonidae is a family of flies commonly known as no-see-ums, or biting midges, generally 1–3 millimetres in length. The family includes more than 5,000 species, distributed worldwide, apart from the Antarctic and the Arctic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae
LinkedIn contains many strains of no-see-ums, and they exist in as many places and are considerably larger sized animals but are reduced in size to nearly invisible. They are annoying and have no beneficial effect, doing nothing to make themselves professional interesting and competitively amazing.
Or amazing-er to get anywhere past being another ho-hum neer-do-well no-see-um.
They are known to complain far beyond their size or station that LinkedIn has no ROI, but the more they bellow, the less they put any I in, to get any R.
Oddly, they copy-paste their resume into LinkedIn to “mark their territory.” IMHO, that’s piss-poor. OK, I had to say it…
They do not post well-worded opinion or professional views and issue silly emojis as their comment to others’.
They are a nuisance even if they do have a bite. But since you cannot see them, you cannot deal with them effectively, other than to move past and away from them. Quickly.
I’ll just keep swatting at them until I have them seeing the error in their earlier ways.
