Got a LinkedIn request today and noticed that they changed the email footer to read:
WHY MIGHT CONNECTING WITH [REDACTED] BE A GOOD IDEA?
[Redacted]’s connections could be useful to you
After accepting [redacted]’s invitation, check [redacted]’s connections to see who else you may know and who you might want an introduction to. Building these connections can create opportunities in the future.
This is so much better than the offensive and arrogant version before which said something to the effect of “how many connections HBS grads have” or “how much more connected the average CEO is”.
