Here's the hilarious thing about that page. I've been there before in an attempt to opt-out of LinkedIn e-mails. It has a lot of categories of e-mails it wants me to opt-out of separately, and I know I opted out of all of them that I possibly could last time I was there. (I believe there were other well-hidden pages I also had to go to.)
Since then, you've added one called "Jobs and Opportunities", and it's switched on. This has happened before. Of course your company is aware it's doing this, but it would be bad for business if you never sent e-mail to people just because they unsubscribed, wouldn't it.
It's great that you had me check because now I have solid evidence of the "adding new categories that are automatically opted-in" behavior.
How often do you expect me to log in to LinkedIn, a service that I hate, and remind it that I really don't want its spam?
Well... I'm sorry that you truly hate LinkedIn, and you're definitely free to use whatever services you like. I think you bring up a valid point about emails being default opt-in. Honestly, I'm just a junior engineer so I don't have much sway, but you can take my word that I'll try to find the owners of the email service and bring your issue up.
