The Blind Ambition with Jack Kelly Jack and Rick Take on 'QuitTok', Viral Layoff Videos and the Job Market
Jack Kelly and Rick Chen respond to Brittany Pietsch's viral LinkedIn status, revealing that she is still looking for a job nearly six months after recording herself as CloudFlare laid her off. We look into why HR and management teams like the impersonal layoff by video and how hiring managers and executives can do better.
We also take on the hundreds of people who wished her well on social media after she uploaded her layoff video and the perils of social media posts on your career. Finally, Rick explains why he is frustrated by the performative nature of LinkedIn and shares how you can take a more active role to land your next role if you're currently job-hunting.
