Now I know by now half of you are reading this and thinking “wow, what a jerk” whilst the rest of you are high fiving the screen and yelling “hell yeah my brother, power to the people!”, so let me assure you I realise this certainly falls into the category of #firstworldproblems. Since 2016 was our last leap year we have until 2020 for LinkedIn to remove this unnecessary feature, and nothing will send a clearer message than this mass response from the people. Having discussed this with others on LinkedIn, one very clever individual - Achint Gupta - came up with the brilliantly simple suggestion of changing our birthdays to February 29 (hence #taketheleap). Now I’m not one for mixed messages, so I’ll cut to the chase and introduce you to a quirky idea I’m calling #TAKETHELEAP. It may also actually send a mixed message to LinkedIn who could interpret this as me not wanting to share my personal details. Now obviously I could remove my birthday from my account so as not to inflict this unnecessary function on others, but this would actually only solve half the problem. I recently found myself questioning why on earth LinkedIn insisted on advising me of every single birthday, and furthermore why there was not an easy option to remove these notifications.Ĭertain I was not alone, I turned to google to find a solution only to discover a swarm of frustrated individuals who were fuming that no such option existed. Updated: Since writing this article, LinkedIn have introduced an easy way to turn off notifications.
