With 200 million subscribers and climbing, in mercenary hands LinkedIn can be a weapon of self-destruction.We’ve all connected with people whose self-serving discharge leaves us hoping LinkedIn will introduce a “hate” button.
But one comment arrived in my inbox last week that should earn for its author the LinkedIn Lummox of the Year Award.
She attached her tone-deaf comment to a 100-day old post by the manager of an interest group I follow.
The manager’s post asked readers to remember a beloved colleague and group
member who’d died, suddenly and prematurely, two weeks earlier.
The self-promoter's comment read:
Sorry for your loss. I help companies with their tradeshows and
events. Give me your marketing list and I will turn it into $$. Call 800-523-4635.
Clearly she hasn’t learned LinkedIn Rule #1.
