Do you accept social media requests from work or managers? A manager sent me friend requests on both Instagram and Facebook. I ignored them. And then she asked me about it. What should I say?

I never do, and no one has ever called me out on it. I'm annoyed by your manager for you. I'd probably say something vague like "My FB and IG is just for my close friends and family, but I'm happy to connect with you on LinkedIn!" and hope they'd leave it alone.

Great response! Going to steal. Thank you so much

I have accepted some friend requests in the past, but I do tend to ignore them now. But honestly, I rarely even get them anymore either. I would just say I have a rule about keeping my personal and work stuff separate.

I understand that. Better to make your choice and stick with it. With social media, especially, that’s my little space to curate as I please!

If they make an issue of it, just tell them you only had family members to your social media pages. Years ago, before the current toxic era, I used to just add any request I'd get. And that was a mistake. Having people from my work in proximity to my oddball relatives created a lot of anxiety I really didn't need.

Going to try thank you!

Ha! I’m not that active on social media so it would be easy for me to tell a coworker I didn’t see their request. But that also means I don’t really have any concerns with being linked on social. I usually only think about my connections on social media with coworkers when I’m about to quit a job. I wonder if others do the same?

Oh no no no. Unless I have a personal relationship with them where I hang out with them in non work scenarios, I don’t accept.

I keep work requests to Linkedin. You can keep it casually professional there.

No, I would say, “I’m happy to connect on LinkedIn” and that’s it. Short and sweet

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

Will an MBA set me apart? I have a BS in Marketing from top 15 undergraduate business program with a 3.8 gpa, 2 years work experience (3 by the time I’d enroll), and scored in the 63rd percentile on the gmat. This qualifies me for an average business school (ranked below ~50). My goal is to move into a management position within the next 5 years and eventually move into a director or c-suite role. At your companies, do most upper-level marketing employees have an MBA? Is it from a top school?

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
