I saw a post on LinkedIn that recommended adding an emoji at the beginning of your name because you could see who was using some sort of automation tool to send out connection requests.
I can now confirm it works.
I am BEGGING you to please stop telling people their loss of a job is their opportunity to go off on their own and start their own thing. Let them grieve for 5 damn seconds before you push your entrepreneurship agenda on them. You don’t know their financial or life status.
