Polling y'all IT and security people for my own amusement and frustration -

The very worst tech sales pitch you got this week:

38% Assumed you were in completely the wrong role or business
17% Spelled your name wrong or forgot to remove a placeholder variable
16% Didn't do any research to learn that you work for a competing company
24% Made it all really awkward by being overly aggressive or way too friendly
23% Came through on a personal account or number
9% Assumed the wrong gender
16% Offered you 2 very specific meeting times, like, tomorrow, like you don't work
13% Abused calendar invites or read receipts
9% Other horrors (tell me)
13% Skeezy social engineering for someone's contact details

@hacks4pancakes The one that bothers me the most is the LinkedIn approaches wanting to help me hire new folks, and I am obviously a one-person shop....
