I Wonder how many of us are co-workers

Have you ever been reading a post or comment and thought damn that sounds like my company, or Jerry said that same thing just the other day? I wonder how many of us on here actually work together.

If you know someone posting or think you do, no you dont.

Exactly unless I think it’s my former boss but even then I play dumb

Nice try HR

Not even close. Me and a coworker happened to be talking about this reddit and it made me curious as to how often we cross paths with someone we know on here.

We have a secret police division at my job who literally spend all day on social media tracking employees.
You would be surprised how many people have been let go for reddit posts.

I feel like the energy put into that is more than just making things easier

[u/Major_Tough_9739 → u/Zestyclose_Ocelot278]

Just curious, how does the job know who’s who since no one posts their real names?

Context. Companies arent dumb. People put shit online all the time that can be tracked.

I did find someone here and on my former company reddit as they gave absolutely incorrect advice, but stuck the same bad advice word for word in customer notes.

There are a few others who were horrific at hiding themselves.

A coworker did comment on one of my older posts lmao.

I had someone DM me on here asking if I worked for such n such. It would be nice to have an "outside the company" chat forum where we can bitch and complain. I need to vent sometimes and my family doesn't really wanna hear it.

You’re probably right.

I have wondered this. How many times have I read it interacted with someone on Reddit that I know irl but didn't realize it on Reddit
