The main problem at the moment with linked in that I find for employees, especially with I.T is that it takes about 3 months to learn the job your meant to do, 1 year to become efficient and 2 years to really give back value for hiring that person. People seem to be changing jobs rapidly and while LinkedIn puts you on the job market all the time with recruiters able to give better offers all the time. That also hurts the person's loyalty to his employer and although it may feel inappropriate for the employer to leave bad feedback, I feel that this is becoming a common issue and is very unfortunate. This is not something that used to happen in the old days when a nickel was a nickel and maybe need attention reminding people about work ethics and standards. Too much or am I just disappointed I haven't gotten any job offers on LinkedIn while many people I know have?
