Linkedin 15 Jan 2018 21:58 #325539

Hi everyone baruch hashem I'm 21 days clean. i have installed filters been posting a lot on GYE and have made a few friends who i keep in touch with. One of the tools i use a lot is Linkedin to be honest i don't think so far it really makes a difference in my job right now it's just a way for me to waste time and maybe in the future it might be helpful. but while browsing the feed i do sometimes take a double look at girls profile pictures baruch hashem just that but i will like to stop even that. How have fellow GYE members dealt with Linkedin? If i delete my profile i will lose all my endorsment's ETC? 
I Baruch Hashem got rid of Whatsapp right when i started my current streak and i also was pretty scared but baruch hashem i've had 0 regrets since then to be honest it's been quite liberating not getting tonz of trash so maybe i should do the same with Linkedin? Looking for some thoughts on the topic! 

Love Yankel

I prefer we stick to 1 thread, and discuss this in your thread...
In meanwhile...

I have linkedin which can be a good thing, and I check it on rare occasion (maybe I don't update it enough...). But why would you need to be on it regularly?

You are 100% right i don't need to check it regularly, it's just by work I'm in front of a computer the entire day and since a lot of days i find myself pretty bored i end up going on LinkedIn to waste some time. So what ends up happening is either i'm logged into the GYE forum or LinkedIn it's one of the problems with my job that i have a lot of free time

Many of us have this problem... Our bosses need to stop wasting their time, get their act together, and press the overload button

I suspect the current work system is going to fail. Let's push a GYE initiative and implement

@yankel, why would have to delete your profile? Since you're going to LinkedIn when you're bored I assume you have a filter on your computer... Maybe check if you can block LinkedIn in & open it when you really need it?
i don't know what type of work you're doing & which filter you have but if you have tag & it's possible for you to block images with skin color I think it will be helpful.

Markz, is it wrong to open a new thread once you're finished introducing yourself? Or open I thread about a general question not related to your specific struggle?

Re: Linkedin 16 Jan 2018 16:51 #325579

@youcan the problem i have with filters on my work computer is my work put their own filter on the computer which only blocks pornography, dating sites,Booking flights and news. I spoke to Tag and the problem is Tag's filters can't work together with my works filter. And my boss won't let me delete their filter and put Tag's instead (i already spoke to him about this) so therefore i installed KBA and webshadow (these are not filters just they see the websites i went on and give me a KNAS if i tried looking for something inappropriate just as an extra layer of shmira) so your solution won't really work!

Markzism is a one-thread system.

Can you ask your work to add Social Media to the list of categories they block? A lot of companies already block that because it's a huge time-waster.

Can you add LinkedIn to your webshadow or KBA list?

Re: Linkedin 16 Jan 2018 17:37 #325589

Nope, but i just downloaded a google chrome extension that hides skin so that helps this problem!

I'm glad g-d created solutions for all problems
