Do you also connect with your boss or coworkers on social media? My manager sent me friend requests on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, which I did not accept. Now he is asking me about the request he sent, nd honestly I am currently at a loss of what to say. How do I handle this and how do I strike the balance between my social media and work life?

I try to keep my social media accounts private for close friends and family, so I don’t usually connect with coworkers there. But I’m happy to connect on LinkedIn if you’d like.

True, we should all connect on LinkedIn as that is more professional. My social media accounts are for outside work purposes.

I would say I don’t have access to that account, it’s an old account. I don’t be on social media. This is a true for several people I know so it’s not a bad explanation. But I do feel that the above explanation the other person gave will make your manager feel offended. And next thing you know you’re being targeted

Absolutely, the comment might be used against me. Thank you for your feedback, I now have a better grasp of what to say, and this appears to be a diplomatic approach.

Please help!
