Episode 91 | Go Ahead, Slide Into Their DMs (…the Person Who Used to Have Your Job)

Question

Hi, Work Wives. This is Madison from Baltimore, Maryland. I'm starting a new job next week, and I stumbled across the LinkedIn profile of the person who had the job prior to me. Would it be weird slash uncouth to reach out to them and ask them for any tips or tricks that they learned while in the position? Thanks so much.
