No

I never do this either. I like my colleagues, but they don't need to know anything about my personal life and I don't need to know anything about theirs.

Former coworkers from past companies yes, current no. I have to have a line between work and personal.

Nope. Shouldn’t combine work and personal life.

What if they send you a friend request? Do you just ignore it?

It's a request not order.

I am friends with 2 coworkers on Facebook that I became actual friends with, and have a handful of friend requests just sitting there I am purposefully not accepting.

Just my personal gauge — if grabbing dinner and drinks sounds fun and we could to talk the entire time about non-work subjects, then I *might* add them as a friend on social media, otherwise is a definite no.

No ....the lesser they know about your outside of work life , the better

Yikes no!

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m a young(ish) male running a private practice. Been with the group a year and a half and haven’t exactly gelled with some of the older employees. We’ve made tremendous financial improvements but in a meeting last night one of the physicians stated, in front of me, maybe we shouldn’t have hired a young guy to run the practice….I can’t think of a more passive aggressive way to ask someone to leave. Thoughts?
