LinkedIn posts like buzzword bingo…
Meh, or what?

People trying to hard.
Not writing like they speak.

Corporate words.
AI words.
All safe.
All beige.

I’ve done it too.
Bang something out.
Then rewrite in ‘posh’ words.
Taking out the passion and edge.

I don’t need perfect sentences.
I don’t like buzzwords.
I don't want posh.

I just want you.

Here’s the difference:

Switched off?

WTF does it mean?

I was too. But ...

“The factory was three weeks behind and the manager thought he’d get fired.
We coached his team. Now they’re on target for the first time in two years.”

That I get.
That I’ll remember.
Then I'll want to hear more.

Write like you - rough edges and all.
