YMMV. I’ve heard a few stories where opened LinkedIn at work was treated as a massive red flag: “this person looks elsewhere, they are not committed to the company anymore”.

It depends on your role. People in sales have it open all the time since it's a legitimate research tool for them.

If you’re considered valuable at your current company, instead of being a red flag it can help you get a raise or other benefits.

This. I would rather post on any other social media site at work than Linkedin. It's a major signal that the person is looking for work.

No more such thing as commit to the company in western world anymore. Companies are definitely not commited to you.
