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.
Linked In is appropriate- no to any other social media.
"What is 'social media' and why do you think I use that?"
I caught mine stalking me. Instant block.
Hard no. Seriously bad idea.
Hard f no.
Never- my boss only has me on LinkedIn and my professional artwork instagram account. I also make sure that my usernames for my personal accounts can't be looked up or found easily so the name is different
Have boundaries between work and personal lif. I have never, and will never accept any social media request from someone I work with or work for.
I always wait until after are done working together to accept. That way it determines whether there is actually something about the relationship I value enough to be part of my closer circle. I have no issue leaving an invite on pending. Most times people probably forget they sent the invite anyway.
LinkedIn is a totally different story and will gladly accept that right away.
No and never
When my boss requested a Facebook friend request I messaged them in messenger:
"Hey [name]! I see you sent me a FB request. While I appreciate the gesture, I have a strict personal policy of not accepting friend requests from current leadership on my personal page. I appreciate and agree that we have a good personality mix and I enjoy our relationship at work, but this is strict line for me as it mingles professional and personal perspectives in a way I am not comfortable with.
If you gel with them otherwise, you can end with something like "Feel free to send me a request if we are ever not involved with the same place of bussiness or our roles are more distant.

No, delete the request. they'll likely forget about it after that, and it will be the end of it. If they ever ask you about it in the future, just change the subject or say you're not comfortable sharing your personal life at work.
Delete and 🚫!
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
No I do not
No. Never.
Set your profile on social media as private.
Nope I wouldn’t accept. I’ve always told coworkers and bosses I won’t connect with them on social media.
No I do not
I won't. That starts blurring the line between personal life and work life. It could create issues if you post something your manager doesn't agree with.
Don't accept it. Just ignore it like they do to many of us.
Tbh I keep socials separate—mixing work + personal can get messy. Same with dating honestly… I once heard a friend say the only reason he managed to date his now-wife was because he followed advice from an AI tool 😂. I think it was this: https://l.artics-us.com/hey. Wild how real it’s getting.
