A term deeply rooted in the experiences of past and current employees of a company, highlighting the gap between enticing hiring promises—such as bonuses, specific supervisors, promotional opportunities and work locations—and the reality of continuing abrupt organizational changes, unkept promises, and an unhealthy workplace. It underscores the act of being hoodwinked through deliberate discrepancies and a “rope-a-dope” strategy where deceit is used by some within the company to their advantage. Moreover, it points to the behavior of certain higher-level managers who disregard company policies, leading their departments as if running their “own show” and enforcing their direction, often to the detriment of their teams and contrary to the collective goals of the company. This hashtag is a stark warning against manipulative tactics and unilateral managerial decisions, serving as a call to action for awareness and caution in the face of manipulation and the importance of skepticism to avoid being misled by false promises and rogue leadership practices.
After discovering the stark difference between the job’s initial promises and the actual work environment and duties, many employees took to social media to share their experiences, using #linked to connect their stories and warn potential future hires.

Get the #linkedmug. Something people on Facebook used to say in 2010 after posting a picture or pictures, as Facebook would make a post with the user's personalized message showing off the picture(s) that had separate likes from the actual picture(s), whose thumbnail image a user had to click or press on individually to like.
