That influencer who told me to "speak my truth" got me cancelled at work
A TikTok life coach with like 50k followers kept saying that being authentic means never holding back. I took her advice and called out my manager for taking credit for my project in our team meeting last month. Three days later I got pulled into HR and now I have a formal warning on my record. She deleted her account right after I sent her a DM asking for help. Has anyone else gotten burned by following advice from digital gurus who have zero real world consequences?

Three months ago I would've defended her but yeah that advice ruins real lives.

Did you ever have a friend who took that advice and ended up ghosting everyone for months? It's rough watching people buy into that stuff without checking the fine print first.
