The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has sparked outrage and concern on LinkedIn. Robert Sterling, a former executive, praised Thompson’s rise from humble beginnings to the head of a major company.
However, Sterling’s post has been met with backlash, with many expressing disdain or even joy at Thompson’s death. This reflects broader social media anger over healthcare issues.
LinkedIn is typically used for professional networking, but some users have taken to the platform to express their frustration. Experts caution against making outrageous comments on LinkedIn, as they can damage one’s reputation and job prospects.
Jason Walker, an HR consultant, warns that such comments can make a recruiter think twice about hiring someone. He emphasizes that killing another human is inherently wrong and should not be condoned on any social media platform.
