I had a series of emails from one guy who emailed me three times within 10 days with an increasingly exasperated sequence of messages, as if this guy was Best Man at my wedding and I was ghosting his requests.
What did he want? To invite me to leave the job I was "obviously burned out" on, and join the wonderful world of...fast food franchise owners.
It's good to be one of the people who can just add sender domains to a spam blocklist used by hundreds of thousands of my company's customers.
@wade
honestly I don't hate this one that much. they're obviously trying for self deprecating humor and acknowledging the artificiality and perverse incentives that drive such communications.
I mean, it doesn't really work and still feels intrusive and unwelcome, but a hair better than the sales calls that demand you play along with whatever phony urgency they're acting out.
Why do you have to do this to Amit, Wade? He sounds like such a nice mail bot!
That unseemly display of his unprofessional human side is a reaching hand, a plea for help!
As Gretta would say, "How dare you?".
@wade People that use drip email campaigns like this do not merit a response.
Some guy has been messaging me on Facebook for months trying to get me to join some military support group, and I recognized the style right away. Haven't responded once.
