Many people use LinkedIn to connect with people they do not know, sending personalized notes in the hope that the recipients will accept their requests. However, one LinkedIn user took advantage of this feature to issue a “warning” to the founder of a competing company. Simple Strat’s founder, Ali Schwanke, took a screenshot of the “threats” she received and shared it on X. It has since garnered millions of views and numerous comments from netizens.

According to the screenshot, Carlos Pantoja, CEO of Optima Solutions, sent a connection request to Schwanke with a message. The message reads: “Your first and only warning do not try to steal my employees or you will have no employees.”
He concluded his personal message with the words: “With a lot of love”.

Schwanke also shared why she decided not to blurt out the company and its CEO. “I usually blurt things out, but in this case I felt it was too much work for an unwarranted threat,” she wrote.
Since it was shared on Xu two days ago, the post has gone viral with over two million views and counting. Many even took to the comment section of the post to share their thoughts.
Check out some of the comments here:
“I could understand if you know each other personally and in that case I’d say ‘Dude, why are you trying to hunt my peopleeeee?!’ But aggression is something,” one individual posted.
Another wondered, “LMAO. How exactly would he get you to ‘have no employees’?”
“I love that he wanted to connect to say that,” said a third.
A fourth joked: “They should change the button to ‘Accept Threat’.”
“He thought he was doing something like Steve Jobs, didn’t he,” wrote a fifth.
