Since most of you are unemployable basement dwellers, here's what's going on:
Corporate sends out a company wide email on social media engagement.
They reiterate guidelines and policy. They """suggest""" some examples, phrases and descriptors that would be acceptable to post: collegiate, collaborative, fun, etc.
Employees who are NPCs go ahead and put all those things together, hit the post button
This isn't at all unique to WaPo or journ*lism, every single company does this. The difference is that WaPo employees have blue check marks.

That's not necessarily NPC behavior. That can also the laziest path to comply with a dumbshit directive from above.

The idea of working for a org that has so many by-default public facing (and interacting) facets is crazy to me

Yeah, that's the real take-away here. There's something fricked if most of your company has their own public-facing social media accounts.

Here's a UK government minister having a public spat with another UK government (former) minister (but still part of government) over his handling of the pandemic. They're from the same party.
Twitter makes people fricking insane.

But who made these people post it, all at the same time? I just skimmed the email but I didn't see it.
Just don't say shit.
"You're 'strongly suggesting' I go on social media, under my own name, and say something you want me to say? I'm good, I'm not here just push whatever you want pushed"
But I guess these people have little actual talent and can't risk rocking the boat. If only they were good at something!
As it is, it only exacerbates people claiming they're just mouth pieces to push a narrative and not really "report"

They're jo*rnos, what else are they doing to do if they get fired? Getting hired in the first place is basically winning the journoid lottery.
