I can’t make this stuff up folks!
This is a real email I received from a communications person, who calls herself a specialist in social media, although not really making me feel she is a communicator or specialist I want to be associated with or use.
It came via email, not even (like most I receive) in a random boilerplate LinkedIn invitation, which you know rankles me, and this one, folks, is for the books (or the blog).
I have redacted it to protect the guilty:
Of course.
My move. I can send an invite? She expected me to contact her back via LinkedIn, like 15,180+ other fools did?
Nope. Deleted.
Don’t ever do this.
