Is it considered acceptable to offer a connection to one of your employer's customers if you have spoken with them personally (but don't work in sales etc)?

- kovar 16y agoIn certain contexts, this happens frequently. However, I know that some firms ask their employees not to do this as it gives competitive intelligence information away. Your profile shows who you work for, and if you have it enabled, LinkedIn will announce that you just connected to someone at ... Enron ... so there is a good chance that your company has a working relationship with Enron.
