No don't feel bad, I think this is how it is. You weren't that far off in a way. I think as a society we need to understand that being unemployable, losing ones home and unable to afford medical care is the price to pay for saying bad things. If that leads you to suicide, in a way that's a...

I understand what you're saying man but I guess we have to accept that there are consequences for sayings things that may seem innocuous to many people and what those things are change year-to-year. I always try to keep up with media on what is acceptable or not. Gotta keep up with the times...

To be fair, it wasn't actual media but "vigilante activists" in his case. And he was saying these things anonymously until he got doxxed by these activists who put in substantial efforts to identify him.

He was very anti-[a certain country] to the point of saying offensive things about [the religion of what he said were the people occupying the country part of his family came from]. There was some other stuff too but this was the most damning one. Not that easy to shop around countries like...

Not at all. Almost all employers do employment history checks. In order to do that, they will find out the name you used to go by at your previous employers. Even very low-end jobs have this.

I agree with you but as much as we don't like to think about it, societies have always had "correct" ways of thinking and "incorrect" ("dissidents"), even if what those things are are always evolving. I'm old enough to have seen people fired for being openly homosexual, and now they're being...

We spoke about that but HR forms always ask about that kind of information nowadays and they'll find out in their background checks.

Yeah I think I agree. They weren't violent but they were pretty bigoted views. I guess becoming unemployable might be the right sentence then, and I shouldn't feel too bad for him. He was a bad human being deep down, even if he didn't seem like it. Guess society is better off with him gone, he...

One of the questions I have, is there a point to ORM if employers are upping their game by doing ever more thorough searches? At some point that stuff is just not gonna go away, even if it is on page 5. What do you then? Hope a certain employer won't be as thorough? If the advice is career...

So I do ORM for personal individuals and sometimes it can be a bit daunting to manage their emotions. These people get hounded by bad press and I just had a client kill himself leaving behind his wife and three kids because it was obvious he would never be able to find employment in his field...

Impossible in this case. Yeah, the assets are aged enough where this is the ongoing strategy.

Finally found a reputed ORM oriented freelancer who offered me a "20% upfront payment + 80% once the results are in" contract. Literally the only well-reviewed guy I could find willing to work on contingency for this stuff. After blowing $7000 and being disappointed, then being offered...

Yeah ads could work. Another thing to try is having a few facebook accounts in relevant groups and sharing the content of the page to them. Can't be too obvious though.

You could do that but the main effort to get people to look at it would be to market the fan page. You still need to let people know it exists, unless it's some very high growth niche or something (but then there wouldn't be another place you could rip content from so easily). Therefore, good...

Not as much as I'd hoped. I lost some steam, paid for a $50-100 SEO packages on here that did nothing to boost my #3 positive result over the negative #2 result (#1 is also positive). No ORM provider will provide result guarantees like some SEO providers do. But I'm considering going for an...
