LinkedIn Arrived In Detroit, Then Blocked My Account

LinkedIn announces search for Detroit office location, employees

Senior vice president Mike Gamson announced LinkedIn is searching for a Detroit office space August 18, and said the new office would be the first opened by the company in ten years.

A few moments later, I was banned from LinkedIn.

Of course, I decided to go through the reaffirmation/appeal process to reclaim my account I have had for years, containing historical documentation of Conyers' work, and this is what I encountered in the next screen:

LinkedIn wants my personal identification.

Like that is going to happen.

I say this is borderline criminal as they do not tell you what they will do with your information.

Looks like a potential fraud scheme to me.

Well, not bemoaning the fact that being kicked out of numerous Democratic groups, blocked from C SPAN, my websites shut down, and now, banned from LinkedIn, it looks like I am on the right track.

LinkedIn is a member of the Meanies.

I should send Mike Gamson and Bill Gates t-shirts for showing how a private corporation can suppress free speech.

DETROIT, MI - Job recruitment and social networking website LinkedIn is opening a Detroit office and looking to hire employees to offer talent and staff solutions in Motor City.

Senior vice president Mike Gamson announced the news in a blog post published fittingly enough on the LinkedIn website on August 18, and said the Detroit office would be the first opened by the company in ten years.

"Why Detroit? After evaluating more than 10 U.S. cities, we chose Detroit because we believe the Motor City presents a unique opportunity for LinkedIn to hire top talent and be a part of an exciting economic turnaround story," Gamson said. "This new office gives us a chance to marry LinkedIn's uniquely powerful culture with Detroit's dynamic talent to create economic opportunity for our employees, the city and our company."

He said Detroit is a place where LinkedIn believes it can hire "great people," and where talent is already present.

LinkedIn is in the final stages of securing a temporary office space in downtown Detroit in order to get operations running as soon as possible, while also searching for a permanent location.

"Our goal is to have our first employees in that office within the next few months, and as such, we are actively searching for incredible sales professionals at all levels," Gamson said.

He also detailed what LinkedIn is looking for when it comes to employees: people who dream big and know how to have fun.

"If you're in the Detroit area or know someone who may be looking for a way into a new opportunity, we're looking for motivated candidates interested in transforming themselves, the company they work for and the world," Gamson said.

LinkedIn already has five positions posted online for the Detroit office, including employees who would work in social and talent solutions and small business relationship managers.
