    When managers chase arbitrary targets, they make arbitrary decisions, which can be easily manipulated.

    It’s generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don’t want banned.

      I have had probably a hundred accounts through google, all of them almost 100℅ connected to me and have not had an issue in 20 years I used google.

        How do you make so many accounts without it having to ask for a phone number? I sometimes try to create accounts just to signup to things I know will send spam; but Gmail asks for a phone number and I give up because what’s the point if I have to give Google my number

      Is this in their TOS somewhere? I am 99.99% this isn’t enforced and there are many professional and private reasons to have multiple accounts.

      Edit: I guess if you actively try to cheat the system by exploiting multiple accounts. But i thought the post was a possibly fake funny and not a suggestion/endorsment.

    sounds like bullshit, if the manager wasn’t being asked personally about “the missing nice waiter” even once, she most likely wouldn’t be taking all that much stock in a couple yelp reviews, and when was the last time you heard about a waiter “getting a raise”, lol
