[quote=Anonymous]I burnt more bridges than the Germans in WWII. Not intentionally but that is nature of the beast. I have been on LinkedIn since beginning.

I have 5,000 connections and I post on average 1-3 times a week. I get viewed around 300-500 times a week.

When someone quits or fired it is like a divorce or getting dumped. You feel anger and stalking. It fades.

I have a glowing job reference to a person I fired years later and even mentored her. My old boss who fired me (literally went to board that SOB) later on was helping me look for a job.

Lot of anger when it happens. It fades. I am connected to a person I just fired 8 weeks ago and job applicants I turned down.

I have more bad blood than a Taylor Swift album in my LinkedIn profile.

People who double crossed and triple crossed me.

One guy we were sworn enemies literally disposed each other and literally out for blood. But that was when we were 28. We left that job and 25 years later we got laid off same time and job hunting for same exact role and we became besties.

Think of it like a girl being mad you did not ask her to Prom but at 25 year reunion no big thing.

If I were you I connect with him on LinkedIn and share the love. You may need each other one day.

I find the people who hate you the most are most appreciative when you reach out to help or be nice.
