Part II: The Strategists: The Art of the (Professional) Game
In Part II of my satirical series, we dive into LinkedIn’s backstage manipulators – the Passive Networkers, Lurkers, Career Pivoters, and more. These aren’t performers – they’re tacticians.
Introduction
Not everyone on LinkedIn wants to be front and centre. Some users don’t shine the spotlight – they bend it.
Welcome to Part II:

The Strategists – where ambition wears a hoodie, networking is a game of chess, and silence is tactical. These are the calculated players of the corporate colosseum, quietly shaping perception while pretending they’re not even playing.
No grandstanding. No showboating. Just algorithms, analytics, and a well-timed “Let’s connect.”
Let’s meet the quiet powerhouses – and a few chaos agents.
