Neato! We can now be unpaid shills for the company through our personal social media accounts.
And people are apparently doing this? Good God we have some absolute lemmings on payroll.

"Responsible employers" 😆😆😆
@k3 The statement is misleading and misrepresents how the program works. Sharing a company’s content on your personal social media does not grant the company unrestricted access to all your past or future posts. Social platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, or X have privacy settings and API limitations that prevent companies from accessing your full history unless you’ve made it publicly available.
Furthermore, employment decisions like being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or termination are based on job performance and conduct, not arbitrary social media posts—especially not ones from years ago. Most companies have clear social media policies that outline what is considered inappropriate, and employees are usually made aware of these guidelines.
If a company were to take action based on old, unrelated social content, it could raise serious legal and ethical concerns, including potential violations of employee rights. Responsible employers focus on transparency, fairness, and relevance when evaluating employee behavior.
Yes, just assume they already have been watching your social media pages for quite sometime
if any of your socials aren’t locked down pretty good to keep then they are already watching you.
Holy cr-p, I didn't know that. Why on earth would anyone agree to do this?
This also gives the company direct access to all of your social content on the platform you shared their content so they can keep track. If they don't like something you posted, even many years ago, how long before you are put on PIP or let go?
And instead of fixing things, just roll out the bootlick crew to help paper over the truth? 😆
Because they know their reputation is for *^it anymore.
I don't know all the details but it sounds like employees can volunteer to share company-positive stories on your accounts and can include some "pre written" content.
I'm sure there are some strict guidelines so things like "more layoffs with corresponding hiring in HIH" or "why does my claim keep getting denied" are out of scope.
What happened?
I never have who I work for listed on any social media and never would put that down. It baffles me why people do that. Like, wow you work for oooh I’m so impressed.
Are we in an MLM now? lmao
lol yeah what the fu-k was that about
