Linkedin Connections

I have become more and more frustrated by LinkedIn of late. Mostly by the wall of garbage I see on my feed. And then I realised I have probably made the matter worse by accepting connection requests from people I don't really know. And of course keeping connections with people I no longer have contact with or even worse recruitment consultants who ghost you as soon as you send them your CV (I mean did that job really actually exist?}. So I have started to go through my connections and remove anyone I don't know.

Removing connections on LinkedIn is a major pain in the arse. But I think it will be worth it in the long run. I want my LinkedIn feed to be relevant and less cluttered. And I want to connect with people who I actually know. So if you are reading this and you are one of my LinkedIn connections, please don't take it personally if I remove you. It's not about you, well unless you are one of those recruitment consultants... and then it is about you.
