Lowry's post went viral, and he received many job offers afterwards May 16, 2026 Posted May 16, 2026 Ryan Lowry is holding his letter that went viral on LinkedIn. (Cover Image Source: YouTube | @nbsnews) For a person suffering from autism, life is not the same as it is for others. It feels like a foreign landscape, and even though they have some brilliant abilities, it can be difficult for them to survive and make a place for themselves in the world. Realizing that it'd be a struggle for him to find jobs, Ryan Lowry, an autistic guy from Leesburg, shared a handwritten note on LinkedIn, addressed to his future employer. In the letter, he listed why he could make a great contribution to the organization despite his condition. At the time of writing the letter, dated February 27, 2021, he was only 19 years old. As of May 15, 2026, his post has over 179,000 likes.  'I promise if you hire me...'

A CFO takes his authentic self to LinkedIn

The LinkedIn-ification of the CFO role is here, and it’s about more than just repeating recently reported revenues. (Alliteration check!) According to recent data from the social platform, member engagement with CFO content grew 15% in 2025. People want to know what a CFO has to say. Leading with authenticity has helped healthcare software platform CFO Manu Diwakar decide what to post, he told CFO Brew. “I sometimes don’t always really understand why people want to know what I think, but I think that they do, and so I’m more than happy to share and be transparent,” Diwakar, who leads finance at Virta Health, told CFO Brew. Finance leaders like Diwakar are increasingly acting as a “translator in chief” for their companies on the platform, according to LinkedIn’s senior managing editor and head of news growth, Devin Banerjee. The watering hole. If there were a space where nearly all of Virta’s stakeholders could gather at the same time, Diwarkar said that space would be LinkedIn. He sees it as an important presence “not only for people on our team, but also for our clients, and our partners, and even a lot of our patients or members have added us on

Microsoft-owned LinkedIn cuts hundreds of roles, reports say – The Spokesman-Review

LinkedIn is reportedly laying off hundreds of employees, marking the latest job cuts at Big Tech companies. The Microsoft subsidiary’s cuts, first reported by Bloomberg, are expected to affect engineering, product and marketing roles, keeping with the trend of the tech industry’s spree of layoffs over the past year. The cuts will hit about 5% of LinkedIn’s roughly 17,000-person workforce, according to Reuters. LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft since 2016, did not respond to a request for comment. Multiple LinkedIn employees posted on LinkedIn’s site Wednesday that they had been affected by the layoffs, including several based in the Seattle area. Microsoft operates a small office devoted to LinkedIn in downtown Bellevue, despite the tech giant’s mass exodus from the city in the wake of the pandemic. After leaving its office space at the Lincoln Square North tower, Microsoft kept two floors for LinkedIn, which can hold at least 120 employees. It is unclear how many LinkedIn employees are based in the Seattle area. The layoffs follow a leadership change at LinkedIn. Less than a month ago, LinkedIn Chief Operating Officer Daniel Shapero was tapped as the new CEO. LinkedIn’s previous CEO, Ryan Roslansky, moved to Microsoft last year as an

LinkedIn set to layoff 5 percent of staff, report says – Yahoo Finance

LinkedIn is planning to lay off five percent of its workforce as job cuts continue to take a toll on the tech industry. The networking-centric social media platform plans to tell impacted workers they’ve been let go Wednesday, sources told Reuters. LinkedIn employs more than 17,500 people globally. It was not immediately clear which teams the workers impacted by layoffs would be from. However, one of the sources noted that the cuts were intended to help the company reorganize teams and focus on areas where its business is growing. The layoffs are not because LinkedIn is looking to replace human workers with artificial intelligence, the sources said. However, the layoffs come as U.S. companies named AI as the driving force behind job cuts for the second month in a row, according to a report. LinkedIn is planning to lay off about five percent of its 17,500 employees on Wednesday, according to a report (AFP/Getty) In April, employers announced 83,387 layoffs, a 38 percent increase from March, according to the report by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a global outplacement firm. Artificial intelligence caused 26 percent of those layoffs, making it the most frequently cited reason for workforce reductions for a second

Meet Chimba Sanga: Zambian physician, public health leader, LinkedIn influencer

Photo courtesy of Chimba Sanga Sanga, MPH ’26, is using his new training in epidemiology to improve HIV and TB care at home in Zambia At age seven, asked by his teacher what he wanted to be when he grew up, Chimba Sanga declared he would be a doctor. He’d never been asked that question before, but the answer came without thinking. “I went home and told my mom, ‘I don’t know whether the response I gave was correct, but I said I wanted to be a medical doctor,’” Sanga recalled. “She asked me why, and I told her, ‘Because I want to be like you. I want to help people.’” Sanga’s mother was a nurse, and her impact in their small community in Zambia was clear to Sanga. “I would visit her at the hospital and see her doing such good work caring for patients. And because the hospital was quite a distance away, patients would often come to our home as a first stop to ask her about symptoms or how to properly take medication,” he said. “Seeing people’s gratitude for her advice and care was indescribable. I really fell in love with medicine.” With his mother’s example
