I think common courtesy is dying, but there are other factors. I am an executive, when I got my latest position, no less than 40 people, many of whom I barely knew contacted me insisting on meeting for coffee, lunch or whatever.
The vast majority of these are people who are looking to see if I will hire them or help them in their job search.....and so, sorry, I just have landed on only replying/responding to those whom I know well or where there is a plausible need to do business. The rest I try to get to as time permits, but practically I would say less than 50% ever hear from me.
Does this make me a bit of a prick? Absolutely and frankly I am starting to care less....
