THEY LOST MY MAJOR ACCOUNT ON LINKEDIN HAD NO PHONE SERVICE YET THEY ARE OWNED BY MICROSOFT. THESE INTERNET COMPANIES HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE WORKING U. S AND OVERSEAS NUMBERS IF THEY ARE CHARGING MONTHLY FEES TO USE THEIR SERVICES.;
People have the right to speak with a real person on these websites if they are asking for money. I will be calling out the companies on the internet that are asking people to subscribe to them yet you cannot call them when you have an issue with their websites.

How do you charge consumers yet no one can speak to your issues with it. Microsoft is also doing this to consumers and it is one of the largest companies in the world.
The website is well organized and well done but their customer service is lacking.

Its like part of social responsibility to have LinkedIn account... or maybe it was really focused on business networking with less force to move to over priced paid plan or job posts... and it become full of spam. Its like (pay for premium account and you can make other users lives miserable though directly texting others viewing their info and much more... and whats annoying is how some people use it as Facebook wall posting anything and nothingness... i got LinkedIn cause need to have in business card... i dont open it much or even relay on it to look up for candidates or look for potential leads... i just accept add requests every once in a while

I only give this two stars instead of one because it serves some people okay. This site is structured completely opposite to my needs and networking objectives. I dropped out of high school and self-started much of my work. I have a gradient between volunteer work and freelance nonprofit, specifically founding my own. I built a skill set in a holistic way, connecting with community and "the real world". This site does not serve innovators, self-starters or people who reject traditional systems.

It constantly spams me to "add my education", of which I specifically have none and on purpose.

The format is also tailored towards standard and almost stereotypical industry. It also blended together different jobs and activities I've done that don't connect with each other. This is the same problem I had with Facebook, it mixed all my friends up who ended up getting in arguments and being bitter once they realized how diverse my friends community is. The same goes for jobs. I'm NOT going to put some $#*! restaurant job next to the organization I founded and like hell I'm going to network with corporate people from that restaurant who actively made the workplace a living hell.

The site is set up against ethics in favor of a blind-eye networking approach. When I network, it's usually with people I actually care about and we have a sense of interconnected community, for a greater purpose. When people network on Linked In, it's to get to the next level of the suck-up game and climb over the people you're supposedly "colleagues" with to get to the top. I've had some great competition in my life, and LinkedIn brings out the most sickly worst competition. It really is a dog-eat-dog world there.

It's a corporate environment and misrepresents the little guy as if he's corporate. Many of the so-called charities that I would follow or connect with were organized antithetical to my beliefs and I would argue- against integrity. Corporatism is sickly and unhealthy, and when you get too deep into a system like that, you get influenced against seeing the company from a realistic viewpoint. This is why so many reasonable people end up excusing their company's sickly behavior in community.

This website also prevents you from reaching out to new people, therefore it would only reflect people I already knew and worked with- and I had much better connections with them in real life so this site was pointless.

I am Sandra Laffe,
I have a Linkedin account with more than 3500 connections and i was successfully using Linkedin for my business actively in various groups.
Suddenly my account shows temporarily terminated, after regular mails they give multiple accounts and inappropriate content as reason.
I am following up for last 2 weeks, they have not given me one proof of violation, neither we have multiple accounts, ours being a small company sometimes we login from same computer along with my boss.
My ticket number is [Case: **************]
Find herewith many mails send by me, which was not replied properly.
If this is not resolved, i have to take legal action,
Regards,
Sandra Laffe
