Personally i would not accept. I don't think its a good idea to accept the friend request of anyone who has that kind of power over you. You need space.
Absolutely not will assist in doxing.
Don’t do it. Think twice before letting managers follow you on Facebook. They're not there to cheer you on or offer support—they're watching. The moment you post something they disagree with, it could lead to consequences or even land you on a Performance Improvement Plan or termination. A colleague is just that - a colleague, not your friend.
A.I.
The short answer is my boss and I are friends on Facebook and I'm 100% fine with that.
LinkedIn only 😆. Personal and work life are not the same.
Never ever never share your personal socials at work. I even signed up with my middle name in order to make me much harder to find on socials.
I hate this! I don't need my boss or other professional people in my life seeing me out getting wasted on the weekends or even attending a political protest they don't agree with. You could simply tell them you don't befriend anyone on social media that you work with, however I found this didn't work for me, as I am friends with a few people I've worked with over the years and do hang out with outside of work. So as to not hurt anyone's feelings, I accept the request and then add them to the list of people I have blocked from seeing any of my stories, posts etc. You can set it up so that certain people never see what you post. In fact I had to do this with my mother-in-law cause she kept asking my husband questions about stuff we do. You can customize lists, change it per post, per story, etc. So that is an option if you feel obligated to accept.
NOPE
Maybe if you have a separate 'business' account, but otherwise no.
Is your boss a friend? If yes, yes. If no, no.
You’re boss is your boss period don’t care how cool you think you are with them it’s a different relationship at work.
Nooo dont
Ew, is your boss Michael Scott? Nothing in me would put my reports in that situation to have to decide on accepting or ignoring my request.
I don't believe in having a boss as a friend on social media.
No and the shouldn’t be requesting you.

Wild consensus to not do it or wait till they’re an ex-boss, that’s what I’m gonna do, thanks fam!
I did at first. But after she threw me under the bus in a big wig email, by LYING, I deleted her. Boundries are good for nosy ass work ppl who don’t care, just feels as intrusion and creepers. 🤷♀️
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I wait until I have left the company before I do.
I don't think there is any harm in just ignoring it.
Nope. Don't accept and don't reject either. I have friend requests from colleagues and other team leaders that I ignore.
No, I wouldnt accept it, since it is your boss. It would be different if it was a coworker/peer that you 'hang' with outside of work, but not the boss.
Absolutely not. LinkedIn is one thing, but any other is a 100% no.
Just leave it hanging or delete it off your personal media.
Never. I keep social media and work completely separate. Make it a blanket policy to never friend anyone. That way no one (like your boss) can feel it is personal.
No way
