Unprofessional conduct alert indeed... It's like he was putting up a trigger warning for his own post

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Misread and was like "wait, this guy is great! He wants employees that value values!... Oh wait... Mf doesn't want to pay mfs.. nm"
He's mad he got ghosted? What a chode
Why did you not censor the guys name??? All you're doing is hurting them more by making this post.
He's mad the guy didn't want to be underpaid for some shit position and is trying to ruin the guy's reputation in retaliation.
This is the one time Australia's terrible defamation laws could do some good, if they lived in Australia.
I can't tell if Yash was the interviewer or interviewee.
The CEO's title doesn't match the company mentioned.
Should have applied for a management position. Seems aptly qualified.
Bringing a beer to his interview was also a red flag. He brought exactly one beer. ONE.
I reported this post for harassment. LinkedIn said "nope this is fine":
This is pretty fucking egregious. I don't care if the candidate was wildly unprofessional or not, you don't fucking drop names like this publicly.
If I was that candidate I'd be calling lawyers right about now.
Also, if you reported it, they don't let you see it afterwards, even if they refuse to take it down. So it may look like they've taken action when all they've done is make it sorta look like they did, just to you.
You didn’t think LinkedIn was doing anything wrong when they asked people to put up pictures of themselves? You didn’t catch on that LinkedIn is the biggest facilitator of workplace discrimination?
I like how they say it's a mutual endeavor and yet they obviously wasted this applicant's time.
Good on Gupta for ghosting them.
I imagine if he's money driven he'll sue their asses off for defamation and get a new car.
I think this would be considered libel. But I'm no lawyer.
I’ma lawyer but I only work for LinkedIn fluffing so unfortunately I can’t help him.
Not sure what they offered him but they probably handed him a settlement
Soft attempt at blacklisting.
Key word "soft". What a little bitch.
Yep, his post is pretty unprofessional.
The "unprofessional conduct" that he's alerting us to is his own behavior, right?
I read that and thought, "Whatever is coming is probably a huge breach of business etiquette." And I was right.
Edited to add: If the candidate's behavior in the interview was so egregious, why would you even waste your time with follow-up calls? It sounds like they wanted to hire the guy, but he wasn't interested in working for them after the interview. Sour grapes, anyone?
I would guess the "money-driven mindset" had a lot to do with it. The interview went well, he was a good fit, but they didn't offer him enough. With some back and forth on compensation souring communications enough to make the owner butt hurt enough to post this.
Exactly... Do these idiots not realize how easily readable they are? I've never subjected myself to LinkedIn, so I couldn't say, but do people actually respond positively to posts like this there?
