LinkedIn Cringe: How would you react if your employer 'made you post' on LinkedIn?

I am reasonably confident most of us have seen our fair share of cringe-worthy LinkedIn posts. 

Cleared CFA Level X, got into ABC company, successfully walked down the street without banging my head into a wall - fabulous. I can see that many people are doing it to give credit to the people who helped them in the process. If you do it with some sincere humility and not try to humblebrag - I guess I can tolerate it. But, I have also been wondering - how would you react if your employer 'asked' you to put such a post on LinkedIn? The request might not be this direct but if you see all other recruits doing it, would you feel the peer pressure to comply?

Just a random thought. Feel free to ignore and carry on with your day. Cheers.
