    I had a headhunter complain to me on LinkedIn about ignoring their connection request, as if I owe them something. They really are unhinged sometimes.

      I had one complain that I was being unreasonable with the salary I wanted for frelanance/contract positions, this was just before I got a job at a consulting firm, I checked my charge out rate and it’s twice what I asked for, probably more now.

      I ghost them now if they’re overly pushy or give off vibes. I avoid the feed as well, just absolutely unhinged.

      You get the same from chuggers (people asking on the street for “Charity”) and cold-callers.

      I’ve actually pretty much had to say “No! My time is my time and you’re not entitled to any of it. You’re also not entitled to any politness if, after I signalled my desinterest, you kept pushing and the fact that it’s your job makes it worse because that means you’re doing it to make money”

      Yeap, they are getting a bit too aggressive with their messages.

      I constantly get “great 1 year opportunities”… as if I would leave a full time permanent position I like for a 1 year term in some unknown company
