LinkedIn reco's I didn't write

Mr X : The first thing that strikes you about X is his stupidity. It is rare to meet a person where this characteristic shines out so completely. The last time X tried to say Duh, he stammered, slobbered, sniveled and finally managed to grunt out the phrase, convincing me of his high levels of commitment to convey his point - which is usually nothing. In his tireless pursuit of the meaningless, X has managed to work as a strong individual contributor, since none of the people hired to work under him have continued long enough. In fact, this skill of X even extends within his peer group, where every single project team mate of his has left X to run the show on his own. One of the most amusing people I've met, I recommend X wholeheartedly for an assignment in the motor vehicle license department of the remote game park reserves of tadjikistan


Ms Y : When Y first joined our firm, I was instantly impressed with her ability to interpret data. She showed the unique ability of drawing conclusions fearlessly and continuously without even seeing the data. She also was quite a liberated woman, her freedom from the concepts of right & wrong allowed her to draw inferences that reflected her creative skills of imagination. Her eye for detail ensured that not a single file ever left her table, as she would take forever in going thru them and ensure that every project that passed her way understood what hibernation meant as a file. The only thing that matched her analytical capabilities was her need to communicate - Not one to leave things to chance, I had numerous occasions with her where I sent an email to a colleague, only to follow up with a printout sent via Fax with its sent receipt stapled and couriered by post followed up with a phone call to merely confirm receipt. Truly amongst the most stellar experts in hands on micromanagement, her ability to create motion and activity aimed at tiring herself was a constant source of merriment to her colleagues and harangued reportees. I wholeheartedly recommend her for an assignment checking the vehicular emissions in the arctic ice caps, maybe her frozen demeanor could reverse the ice-cap melting and she could finally be of use to the world
