Status update
Just now, on LinkedIn, I saw this:
“Ronald is celebrating 3 years at [company name].”
To which I posted:
“No, Ronald is not celebrating today. Ronald died a few years ago, unfortunately.” (That’s because Ronald committed suicide.)
I knew Ronald a bit. But what must this status update be like for those who were close to him? I’ll bet there are no celebrations there either.

Who do you think we’re going to believe: You or LinkedIn??

I had the same experience a few days ago, a person who had a pet sitting business died several years ago. LinkedIn now wants me to congratulate her on 7 years with her business.
I think this is an indication that we should make arraingements for our digital footprints to be taken care after we pass on.
