ive been in that position before. he definitely doesn’t want to just be friends. try to avoid him as much as possible and if he tries anything or acts inappropriate report it. be safe !
I’m a female 52 years old and I have a Snapchat, but I am not friends with anybody on any of my social medias that I work with directly
If his request made you feel uncomfortable, trust your instincts. Be firm but polite that you don't feel comfortable giving your Snapchat to a coworker. If he gets inappropriate, inform HR so there's documentation.
Depends on the age gap; but anyone is allowed to use that app. It’s not a young adult only, so I don’t see any red flags
I don’t add ANY coworkers on my socials, let alone a NEW coworker I just met. There are A LOT of reasons why you should not do this. Also, Snap of all things? It’s a hard no for me.
For all you know this guy was fired from a previous job for something weird, or has a criminal background for stalking. This has happened to A LOT of women and young ladies before. There are plenty of news articles about it.
Keep work and your personal life separate. If you blend them, don’t act surprised when chaos ensues, especially when inviting strangers into your circle. PROTECT YOURSELF by saying “no, I don’t add coworkers on my social media”, and private your accounts.
Yea, creepy guy. Sounds like who I work with, except this guy seems like he's on something.

It’s not a red flag that they use it. We use it all the time to communicate with our kids. It’s a red flag ye want to connect with you if you’re significantly younger than him though.
Dunno how you are with your other co-workers on the job, but I tend to have a strict "work is work, home is home" division, especially when it comes to public profiles and whatnot. If you don't connect with other co-workers using Snapchat or any other social media, just say that you keep your work-life balance by not connecting with co-workers over social media. That's reserved for your life outside the job.
For me, it's one thing if you were friends before you got the job, or classmates, whatever. But honestly, I wouldn't want to connect with co-workers on SM because "work friends" are NOT your friends. When you change jobs, they're not gonna keep in touch for long if at all. Good reason not to even open that door (and if you want to network with them, use a professional page like LinkedIn or another SM profile meant for business connections, not one for friends and family)
My advice of being in the restaurant business for over 20 years keep professional professional, personal personal, never mixed the two going to work. Do your job be nice and courteous to everyone that you work with always say hello always say goodbye and then go home.
Snap was released toward the end of 2011, now considering that info, you’re going to start seeing more and more “older” people using different social platforms.
Social media as a whole has been around for a many number of years now. Some of us chose to grow with it, others decided to back off or back out completely.
Yup, I was just out of high school. Now am in my early to mid 30s and havent used it for probably 10 years but some people have had it since it dropped, this guy could've had it in his mid 20s. So the fact that he has it in general is definitely not a red flag.
Him asking for yours isn't necessarily a red flag either, depending on your age, my dad married a 21 year old when he was in his mid 40s. If you've made it clear you're not into him like that and don't want to be friends and he asks after that, now you're getting into red flag territory. But nobody on here knows him like you do, if he's being weird and inappropriate, definitely let a supervisor know.
If he’s in his 40s, how old are you?
