tnx for putting up the Psa. Beyond fab.
Okay, who else has done this?! Who has mistakenly sent an email to the absolutely wrong person? I did it once when, as a freelance writer, I sent an email meant only for a colleague to the editor who was torturing both of us. (In fairness, she was being tortured by the higher ups @ the magazine where she worked.)
I did the appropriate amount of groveling. I think I also sent her flowers. She was more professional about it than I ever could have asked (or imagined). We continued working together for several more years.
But I drew the line when she sent me a LinkedIn invite in the last year or so!
You sound nice, I am glad the two of you worked it out.
I was just writing to say, I think LinkedIn does that automatically. The machine might have sent the invite for her.
I got an invite from an ex-boss that I never thought liked me that much, and I wasn’t sure what to do, so I emailed her to ask if she really meant it, and I never heard back. I guess I still don’t know what happened. But, I’m pretty sure the machines did it, b/c it happened with another friend and he admitted he hadn’t sent the invite.
These computers sure do add complications.
@Viajera Blame it on the LinkedIn algorithm, eh? Well, I was surprised to get an invite from my ex-editor, so that might explain things. Thanks!
James Franco is a turd.
