On a platform already notorious for its high volume of unsolicited messages, voice messages will simply add just another layer of inconvenience to what's already a huge annoyance. Sure, recordingvoice messages may be faster than actually typing them, but listening to a voicemail is definitely not faster than skimming a paragraph or two.

Don't get me wrong, I get that messaging is an important part of LinkedIn. But if your inbox is anything like mine, it's already filled to the brim with messages I never asked for. Each week, I must weed through these on the off chance that there is something relevant to me.

The only thing I can think of that would make scanning these messages worse would be having to sit through several minutes of voicemail instead.

So, please, spare us all, and just don't do it.
