Do you accept your boss’s friend request on social media? 👀 Mine just sent me one on Instagram, and now I’m debating if I really want her seeing my weekend chaos and dog memes. Don't get me wrong, she is awesome at work, but it feels weird mixing that with my personal space and yet leaving her on “pending” feels just as awkward. How do you handle it?

Ooh that’s an awkward one, I personally wouldn’t though. I think keeping your personal life private is more important than it potentially being a bit awkward

I feel the same way! It’s not that I don’t like my boss, but I need a little separation between work life and personal life. Boundaries keep me sane!

I keep work very separate from my personal social media. I’m actually pretty selective about it these days in general. I recently just removed 150 followers from my IG because they’re people I dont live near and haven’t kept in touch with past following each other on IG.

Totally get that. Honestly trimming followers is kind of refreshing.

I work really hard to make sure my social media profiles can’t be found by my coworkers or boss. However, if my boss did try to friend me, I would probably ignore the request. Then hope I’m never asked about it.

I am the same. I try to keep my social media as private as possible, so not even sure how my boss finds me.

That’s a little creepy. Why would your boss want to be your Facebook friend or whatever. No I wouldn’t accept a request from my boss.

Right? It does feel a little awkward!

I need advice. I moved into product management under a year ago to an early stage startup. The first few months went well, but the last 5 have been chaotic. It feels like we’re becoming more sales led, there are too many pivots (I expected some) our roadmap is becoming influenced by sales/ceo. Essentially, we’re trying to do much. It’s happening so much I’m starting to lose confidence in the company/strategy. It’s also causing me anxiety…

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?
