Them: “Hi, Corporate Comms team here. We need you to post these company marketing posts to your LinkedIn.”

Me: “No thanks.”

Them: “It would really help our company. Please do so. It’s optional but as a senior leader it’s expected.”

Me: “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize my carefully curated and career long work to build my contact list of LinkedIn was for your marketing spam. Again, no. My LinkedIn contacts are not yours and you are not going to guilt trip me into leveraging my network for your free marketing efforts and dilute the trust and relationships I’ve built that will far outlast my time at this company. This may be hard to understand but my network is not transactional.”

Them: “Uh, are you okay?”

In the US, insurance company’s use AI to deny claims in just 1.2 seconds. No exaggeration. Cigna built an algorithm that reviewed and rejected 300,000 claims in 2 months. Each in an average of 1.2 seconds of “review.” That same system gets overturned on appeal 80% of the time. But the insurance company knows that less than 0.2% of people ever appeal. Not 20%. Not 2% but point 2% They’re not rejecting your claim because it’s wrong. They’re rejecting it because statistically, you’ll give up.
