Impersonal Networking Prompts on LinkedIn

The latest Friday forward explores the impersonal networking prompts on LinkedIn, particularly the automated work anniversary messages. The author shares a personal experience of receiving multiple generic messages congratulating them on their six-year anniversary at various companies. They express surprise and frustration that people would be so careless and not take the time to personalize their messages. The author sees this as a reflection of our disconnected and disenchanted relationships, where people opt for easy, automated interactions rather than thoughtful and personalized communication. They emphasize the importance of meaningful connections and urge readers to use social media prompts as an opportunity for genuine engagement instead.
