I am so disappointed in LinkedIn. It has apparently sent invitations to people not even in my email contacts, but apparently to contacts of contacts. I have tried everything to turn this off. To me, it is inconceivable that this bodes good will to LinkedIn members.
I have never invited anyone to "join" my network. Yet I constantly receive invitations. And now I am making the same - all my without consent - all without my knowledge. To me, this is an errant business decision by LinkedIn. What possible good would this be to irritate their members? Henceforth, I will never accept invitations from anyone I do not personally know. I am debating on whether to withdraw from LinkedIn altogether.
On a sour note, this seems to be symptomatic of the global institutional invasion of our personal information and lives. It is so pandemic many do not even respond any more. Our phone calls, emails, Facebook, twitter information is all recorded and stashed in some cloud of memory, somewhere.
On a note of purely soured resignation - doubly so. Of course I'm outraged by this action by LinkedIn. But only a few years ago I would have been totally outraged. I would have simply quit this social website - and never joined again. But now it seems I'm habituated to such invasions. Times, they are a changing - even for us old dogs.
