You can read the write up CRN did a couple weeks ago here. This is a follow up to the previous /antiwork post that broke this news.
Full disclosure, I work two levels away from CEO Fred. It’s known in the executive management circles he is right-wing narcissist. I don’t engage in political discussions at work – most of the employees in Miami have Trump stickers on their cars. I need the job, and it pays well. So, I shut up and do what I have to do.
Last week, we were told to like and comment on posts posted by the CEO and the company’s LinkedIn account. Employees, especially from the newly acquired Datto company received slack messages from their managers to socialize pictures taken with CEO on LinkedIn. I am encourage to add positive commentary. Eg. The best is yet to come. Kaseya/Datto is better together.
My direct manager who reports to Fred is asking why I haven’t like / comment on any of the recent posts on LinkedIn. I feel I am trap, other managers don’t seems to care how their social media accounts being use and are willing to like anything the company or CEO post – even if it’s propaganda.
Not sure I have a choice but to go along with this – it’s just wrong.
