    Why is everyone here afraid to name the companies?

    Unless you’re sharing something that only you would know and the company is aware that you’re the only one who knows it, there’s no way they can identify you.

    Something tells me the people posting here who had “NDAs” didn’t actually have any sort of a high level clearance to important information.

      It’s a bold assumption that you will never dox yourself or be doxed. The fediverse by nature not at all private.

        So… avoiding mentioning the company name will help an individual if they’re doxed while talking about it?

        Do you really believe this?

          That’s not even close to that I said.

          If you say a bunch of things that would get you in trouble on your anonymous account, then over a period of time say enough other things to dox yourself, all your old account content is still there. Over time a little slip here, a little slip there. You put enough pins on the board, someone can find you, hell you might even accidentally talk about something unique. Happens all the time.

          It’s a risk for no good reason. Your’re taking the risk so that some other nameless person on a social media instance can go ohhhhhh that company did bad things.

      People are scared to death to talk about their company publicly because we are trained to have that fear.

      It’s pretty wild how ingrained it can be and how much power it gives the company to do whatever they want with no fear of consequences.
