Unlinking A LinkedIn Connection(s)

Someone visited my LinkedIn profile today and that prompted me to visit theirs which is where I discovered they had unlinked us.

It was odd to me because I haven’t the foggiest idea why they did it and if you asked I would tell you it kind of bothers me.

Not sure why it does, but it made me wonder why.

I could reach out and ask them why they decided to go this route, but I probably won’t.

There is no need or reason for me to engage in a conversation about it.

They aren’t someone I work with now or do business with and chances are slim we will in the future.

So it is more of a networking thing but I can’t say this will help or hurt that.

Just sort of odd.

    I drop people all the time, and I’ve had people drop me. I don’t know a single person who’s dropped me because I don’t care, and right now I couldn’t tell you more than 2 or 3 people I’ve dropped because I don’t care. Sometimes that’s just how it goes, even within your own industry.

      That is fair. I have no disagreement with anything you said.

    You’re getting soft Steiner.
    Seriously, why should this bother you? It doesn’t sound like you ever really knew the person.
    The other person was probably doing a purge and realized, like you, that the connection was not there.
    Move on.

      I knew them well…once upon a time.
