Pretending to be someone else online is absolutely not OK, writes Dr Kirstin Ferguson.
I recently discovered my boss has been catfishing me on LinkedIn using someone else’s profile. The other person, who is a connection of my boss on LinkedIn, is a recruiter. I had been contacted by the “recruiter” about a role, but as soon as I responded, their profile disappeared. I think my boss was testing my loyalty, but it felt like entrapment. My boss holds the keys to my career progression in an otherwise good company.
But are you 100 per cent sure? Do you know for a fact it was your boss? If so, I think you have every right to raise this with someone at work. While you might feel uncomfortable admitting you responded to a recruiter, that is way less weird than your boss behaving this way.However – and I can’t emphasise this enough – unless you are positive it was your boss, proceed with caution.
I have been working for the government for a few years in a mid-level role. After a change in government, I got a new boss. I’m not sure whether I’m being overly sensitive, but I get the feeling she really dislikes me. My boss recently thanked my project team for a completed piece of work and sent it to everyone in the working group except me.
