Recently I’ve received recurring recognizable reaches to render me reports, rewards, reviews, recognition, resources: un-requested, un-required. Repetitious!
Rattled, I rage, remove, and refer to my recycling bin.
Resolved, right?
Wrong.
Reappearing, reaching out to reconcile why I resisted or reneged to respond. Reoffering, repeating, then re-removed. I resolutely resist.
Rinse, repeat. They rebound and resurface.
I reconcile to rebel, writing this:
On my email. LinkedIn. Facebook Messenger. Texts. Often multiple ways from the same renegade, on the same day! I get a lot of LinkedIn junk, as you do too, I am sure. Not from humans.
Referring me for review, as research into a reserve of references.
By sharing some tips in a blog post I wrote earlier this year, I am happy to say I have been 95% successful, so I provide again some ideas you can utilize to stop the inflow of spam, since LinkedIn does not do a good job of it, so it’s up to you and me to preserve our LinkedIn defenses, and sanity (LinkedIn is what I know best, while the other platforms all duel it out as if in the Wild Wild West!).
Resurrected recommendations. Rinse, repeat.
(Today’s blog post is brought to you by the letter R.)
