That time of the year when LinkedIn blows up with posts about people wanting to buy gifts for families in need for Christmas, but need to begin with “no judgement, no asking, just ping me….” and such platitudes. Its more about making themselves look like they pariahs and earn some LinkedIn brownie points and less about actually…. you know… helping. Because if you really do want to help, the holidays is the time of year you literally have truck full options of organizations, even at a local city level that you can contribute for families in need. But then how would you earn those LinkedIn karma points, amirite?
