Workplace advice: Employees and companies need to actively protect their online image.
My former employees’ lies cost me a job. I was a finalist for a senior position when the prospective employer searched online when checking references and read the derogatory stories posted on Facebook by my former employee. The hiring committee let me explain that after I fired a dishonest employee for cause, he and his friends came after me on social media.
The reputation damage from this social media smear campaign blindsided me. There’s not enough written about how people can repair reputation damage. I reached out to X and Facebook, but they refused to remove the defamatory posts, saying other users had the right to their opinions. The reputation damage consultants I found on the internet cost thousands of dollars. So what do I do?You’re not alone. Each of us needs to protect our online reputation.
Flood the internet with quality posts on WordPress, X, LinkedIn and Facebook until the positive content you create outranks the negative posts in Google search algorithms, pushing negative posts onto the second results page, viewed by fewer than 10% of searchers.You can rebuild your reputation and come out stronger, or at least whole. Consider how Bill Clinton, caught with his pants down in the Oval Office, reclaimed the national stage.
