No, it's a waste of time and you being nosy. If you're not happy with my work, your responsibility is to come to me and tell me that, then see if we can work together to get to a point where you are happy.

Tell me honestly for a second: if you weren't happy with someone's work, would anything on (or not on) their LinkedIn profile make any difference to that situation whatsoever?

The LinkedIn point was about looking for clues that you might need to investigate further. I think you're trying to twist my statement into something else entirely.

Is that an admission? Being evasive about the question is not a good look. It's precisely what you're accusing the employee of here.

You've been breaking the site guidelines badly in this thread, particularly these:

"Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine."

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

And some of these cases have been egregious:

Those kinds of comment are bannable offences on HN. I don't want to ban you, but this has been a problem many times before, and we need it to stop. Can you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules in the future?

Prisoner's dilemma, I guess?
