My manager found out about my side project because I commented from my LinkedIn account instead of Page account. Lied to his face. Now I am quite Anxious.
Been building a side project for 8 months. Completely in stealth.
The tool basically lets small businesses, freelancers and agencies design social media posts in seconds. You describe what you want, it spits out ready-to-post creatives.
My growth strategy was going into LinkedIn comment sections of digital marketing agencies and occasionally mentioning the tool. Had a separate LinkedIn page created for this to keep my identity clean.
On Monday I commented from my personal account accidentally.
Deleted it after few hours as soon as I realised this later.
Tuesday, when I was about leave the office. He brings up the comment. Asks about the tool.
I panicked. Told him it's my wife's business and I was just helping her out with my linkedin reach.
Don't know if he believed me. I already had couple of meetings with him and senior management about my performance drop in past 6 months.
Anyone been through something like this?
