Business Etiquette
A few weeks ago, a good friend of ours accidentally hit the button on her LinkedIn account that invites your “friends” — ALL of them, every single person in your e-mail account.
She was horrified. Within minutes she became aware of the mistake — when not only did she start hearing from recruiters, friends of friends who had been on mass-e-mails, and ex-dates (or, in any event, men who she had e-mailed with after meeting them through a dating service). We were already “linked” with her, but because we had e-mailed with her from various addresses, we were invited again. So we took particular note when, a week after the incident, we got a “reminder” e-mail, asking us to link to her — and then a week after that, yet another “reminder” e-mail.
Our question is to you, the readers — does anyone know anything she could have done to stopped the error, once she realized her mistake? Is there some hidden “unsend” button (which has saved us from making at least one stupid mistake in Gmail!). What’s your general opinion on “linking” with people – do you only do it with people whose work you would recommend? People who you know from a working capacity? Or do you treat it like Facebook — and allow anyone and everyone to link with you? (At least, that’s how we treat Facebook.)

Fashion
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Today’s post is suggested by reader J, who — like us — wears dresses as often as possible in the summertime. She recently purchased this dress, and notes that “for the price, the quality seems quite good (except for the belt, which is easily swapped). Although it doesn’t say so in the description, the dress also has essentially invisible — yet deep — pockets. It’s incredibly flattering on. I think that it’s a great summer-to-fall dress.” So do we — it’s lovely! J got hers at Macy’s but we couldn’t find it on the website… it is also available at Dillards.com for $80.

If you’ve recently seen a great work piece you’d like to recommend to the readers, please e-mail editor@corporette.com with “TPS” in the subject line. Unless you ask otherwise, we’ll refer to you by your first initial.
