In reply to Chris Dotson. Nope. This post should have been avoided.

Your judgement seems to be the issue
Maybe reaching out to the individual would have been more valuable than publicly expressing your disgust about it.

Someone you don’t know, endorsing you for 43 skills, may be having a manic episode. Check their activity history.

They are looking for you to wndorse them in return. I only endorse the performance of those I can speak to.

I looked at the LinkedIn post of one of my former co-workers. She had some glowing recommendations by co-workers I knew and by others whom I did not know. Having worked with her for about 7 years, I would say that the recommendations by our co-workers seemed “over the top.” I knew her strengths and weaknesses. I wonder whether she also gave these co-workers glowing recommendations on their LinkedIn pages. I recommend that you DO NOT believe everything you read on LinkedIn. I had an account but never used it much. I also received requests from people I did not know.

Am I the only one who had to resist the urge to endorse her after reading this? 🙂

Dear Evil — Now you’ve gone and done it. You’ve thrown rocks at all of the sterling, helpful, effective advice we get about LinkedIn Algorithms, about how endorsements really are real because they’re from people who know us, about how recommendations will lift us to the stratosphere of LinkedInism, and have probably put numerous real, credible, trustworthy, careful, legitimate “recruiters” out of business with your careless, biased, unsubstantiated comments. No wonder you go by the title of Evil. No wonder…. PS – as soon as I post this, I’ll be endorsing you for your skills of evilness, nefariousness, and rock-throwing.

My Linkedln account is very broad in networking. I do choose/request those whom I wish to follow and from there whether I want to connect past following. I am occasionally requested by people who claim to want to follow or connect with me but I research them fully before allowing them to be a contact. I get a big kick out of the “headhunters “ who claim my listed skills fit a certain job as that kind of headhunter never finds you a job unless you are willing to pay a percentage of your first years income. I don’t work well with someone who considers me a statistic. I advise everyone to be extremely selective about how and whom you network with. On a positive note, I have kept in touch with old co-workers via the site, with whom I have had more than just passing work friendship.

They’ve just trying to butter you up so they can connect and access your vast LinkedIn network? My, that is evil…
