She gets money based on how much engagement her social media posts get so she's desperate for shares and comments. She text me and told me I should share and comment on all of the company social media posts from the past two weeks. This is a retail store.
Ah yes, let me just spam all 500 of my friends with 40+ posts about what grills we have for sale, our shoe department, and company birthday celebrations that happened last freaking month.
I knew she was going to ask me because I saw a few of my coworkers sharing 50+ posts, most which aren't even freaking relevant anymore just for social media clicks. I snoozed them because I got so sick of it.
It sounds pretty unethical to me to use my personal social media to promote the company and to fake engagement just to make us look good and get someone else a bonus they didn't earn. You might as well create bots like all the other pages do, you are doing the same shit.
I don't list where I work on social media and frankly, I don't want the internet to know where I live so avoid sharing anything local and take care to not tag myself or take pics in recognizable places near town.
How can I turn her down professionally? She didn't demand it and asked nicely, but this really doesn't sit right with me and pretty sure is all kinds of unethical. I think I'll just say I don't feel comfortable with anything work-related on my social media. Any advice?
