So. I just got another email from a colleague looking for a LinkedIn recommendation. I get these all the time and most of the time I'm happy to do it if it's with someone I've worked closely with or I know is good at what they do. But there have been times where I've gotten requests from either people I have hardly worked with or with people I plain don't like. What is the proper way to handle said requests? Just ignore them?

and make sure you don't view their profile.....they can tell.
then if they ever ask....just say you hadn't logged in to linked in in forever.
Blame it on the lawyer.
That will be $800 please.
I just ignore them.
Well that's the thing. I'm a firm believer in not burning bridges, so I don't want them to feel like I'm ignoring them...even if I am! And some people are relentless with the requests, which come to my email, so I can't say I didn't log on. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and write some vague rec. :x
I trust you see my humour. The first part I thought I did real good with, polite and no swears
I do. I got the sense that you really had to hold back there in that first sentence

Yup, walking on thin ice around here, I just don't get it. These mods are out to get me I tell ya.
I see another one on lockdown mode, I could've had something to do with it
Aw man! I didn't even get to post in that one!
