Boy, talk about good intentions paving the road to Hell! Those glowing recommendations on your LinkedIn profile may seem like a good thing, but some are using those reviews to dispute unjust layoffs. Here's how it works: You get fired, (you figure) unjustly. Your employer claims it was due to performance problems. You sue your former employer. Your lawyer looks at your recommendations from previous employers and uses them as proof of your quality."Performance issues?" your lawyer says. "No performance issues here! Just check out the multiple reviews my client has on his profile."Considering that LinkedIn is the standard-bearer for work-related social networking, this development could cause both employers and employees to be more wary of recommendations.Of course, there are ways to argue against it. The employer might claim he/she was just doing the employee a favor, and writes positive reviews for all coworkers. Or it could have simply been a case of someone just trying to be nice. But experts say to stay on the safe side and stick with the facts like dates of employment. You never know if, down the line, someone may use your own kind words against someone, even if it's justified.
