I get a lot of great feedback from my readers. I get other email as well. Here is another installment of replies to emails I usually ignore.
Dear Mike, Leah, Kathy, Samantha, Nate, Thomas, Julia, Brent, Ray, and many others,
Thanks you for sending unsolicited advertorials related to your employers. I suggest you try a little harder to disguise this “content” as news. I particularly enjoyed your repeated impatient follow-up emails demanding some sort of reply. Here is my reply. I’ve got a bunch of worthless old household items for sale. I demand that you head to my house immediately and overpay me for them.
Sincerely,
Michael

Dear George, Adam, Melissa, Ronnie, Ryan, and others,
Thank for offering your crypto expertise or to put me in touch with a crypto expert. As it happens, this is an area I understand well. Your analysis is mostly irrelevant or wrong. Perhaps you should stick to guessing why the Dow went up or down today.
Sincerely,
Michael

Dear LinkedIn,
Thank you for sending the same list of potential people to connect with every week for a year. Yes, I know these people. No, I don’t need to link to them. Thanks as well for keeping me up-to-date on the work anniversaries of hundreds of people. I never cared about my own work anniversary, and for most of these people, I don’t care about their birthdays, but for some reason I need to stay on top of their work anniversaries.
Sincerely,
Michael
Hah! I like the LinkedIn one. So true.
ReplyDelete@Returns Reaper: I find their constant messages about how many searches I came up in and what jobs they recommend for me to be tedious as well, but I suppose these things might be useful to some people.
