I gave the culprit in question the benefit of the doubt before blocking him, I was sure I would get some sort of embarrassed apology or explanation of some sort so I waited....and I waited (well not with my head in my hands, staring at the screen, waiting for a reply kind of way), but...you get the drift.
No apology or explanation so I blocked him.
I'm not going to go in to a checklist of what is and is not appropriate when using Linkedin but needless to say this type of business approach is definitely not appropriate or welcome!
The moral of the story is if you wouldn't do it or say it in reality then don't do it or say it on Linkedin - or on any other social media platform!
