Community guidelines

A little honesty goes a long way. Keep it safe for the next person reading.

Share your experience

Write in the first person about what happened to you and what led you to leave. Be candid, but stick to details you are comfortable making public.

Protect people and workplaces

• Do not name an employer, coworker, manager, client, or any other identifiable person.
• Leave out email addresses, phone numbers, handles, precise locations, screenshots, and other identifying details.
• Do not share trade secrets, customer data, private messages, or confidential company information.

Keep it respectful

• No threats, doxxing, hateful language, targeted harassment, or calls to contact someone.
• Do not post rumors or present unverified allegations about an identifiable person or business as fact.
• Do not use the feed to advertise, recruit, or coordinate retaliation.

How moderation works

Every live submission is held for a human review before publication. Moderators may ask for changes, reject a story, or remove one later if it violates these guidelines or exposes someone’s identity. Use the report control on a published story to flag privacy, confidentiality, abuse, or another concern.

LinkedOut stories are personal accounts, not independently verified reports. Please do not rely on a story as evidence about a specific employer.
