The strange thing about LinkedIn organization verification is that it never seems to be revoked. I have many contacts with verifications from companies they no longer work for - sometimes for a very long time.

On the other hand I see many people posting in official capacity for an organization without verification.

When they actively represent their current company but with a random verification from a previous one it gets pretty absurd.

In its current form LinkedIn verification is pretty worthless as a trust signal.
