Do you guys add a former CD who you didn't totally get along with on Linkedin? (cont.)

Don’t see the issue. I don’t like almost half of the people on my LinkedIn.

I don’t get it. Why add someone on LinkedIn who you reported to HR and know you’re not a fan of him? He’s not going to help you. The only benefit would be seeing people he’s connected to, and if you’ve done a halfway decent job of using LinkedIn, other people have that covered already.
Nurture your relationships with people who know you and can vouch for you.

Go ahead, but he’s probably not going to help you

Nope. Unless he's constantly doing work that's getting recognized, which means he may have good connections. Outside of that no.

I was never disrespectful, but I'm pretty sure he knew I wasn't a fan. It was bad enough that I (along with a number of other mid-levels who worked under him) met with our GCD and/or HR to report his behavior.

Would you add him if you were me and looking to make a move soon? He seems to know people everywhere.

Of course you do. It’s a network of contacts. Not your BFF list

Add because he might get you your next job. Our industry is weird like that.

1. Grapefruit sized cyst on right ovary 2. Unknown object with no heartbeat (maybe a hematoma) in the gestational sac with my baby 3. An empty gestational sac

I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
