I've seen multiple Gemini capsules stating this when they're talking about their employers and I find it amusing. For one, why would any employer even search on Gemini? They mostly search on those highly SEO-centric websites where they can get as much data as they can on you.
Even if they'd find a post where you just talk smack about your employer, it's not like "hey this is fictional!" would stop anyone connecting two and two. Mark the boss that likes to power trip is still the same Mark. "This Mark is not real! I promise. Just a coincidence.."
On a more serious note, the whole "employers-stalk-you-before-employing-you" is just not a good behavior to encourage. No company or person should be preoccupied with the personal life of their employees at this level. Some really go to lengths of searching for social media accounts, if they don't find you on there you're "suspicious" which is silly for all the reasons you can think of.
