DD shouldn’t be forced to do a fake review for her workplace?

DD works as a waitress at a chain food pub whilst at uni.
The place is poorly run and there are constantly getting bad reviews.
DD tells me that everything customers complain about in reviews is justified and correct.
There is a group chat as part of the app where shifts etc are allocated.
A message has been put on to say that all staff must put on a five star review or this will affect their shifts going forward.
she’s now worried she will lose her job if she doesn’t put on a review but also feels it’s unfair that they’re being told to falsify reviews.
aibu to tell her to stand her ground and not put a review on even if it keeps the peace and her still being given shifts?

We are asked to do this all the time, as well as review other places in the same chain. Their staff review us too. Its incredibly common. Zero hour contract and making a fuss...well, you know where that will lead.

She could report the reviews to tripadviser direct as being fraudulent….

It's not for Marston's is it? My DD was asked to do the same, and it was an awful, unorganised, unsupportive place to work.
