What Not to Share Online Before You Disclose
TL;DR
Anything you post online can be used against you. Social media complaints about your employer can destroy your credibility and legal protections.
Online posts can feel like a way to seek guidance or support. They can also create permanent evidence that harms credibility, exposes identity, or creates avoidable legal and professional risk.
Avoid sharing
- Identifying details about you or others
- Internal documents you are not authorized to share
- Speculation stated as fact
- Threats or emotional escalation posts
- Anything that invites doxxing or retaliation
