Do you follow your manager or coworkers on IG? There’s a team doc with everyone sharing their social handle but I haven’t followed anyone yet so as to not seem like I’m prying/tryhard but that could just be me overthinking.

I do if they follow me first. A doc is a weird pressure move. I hope they enjoy my dog, family, and college football reposts.

Nope. But I also don’t have IG/FB/TT accounts - I prefer IRL connections over manipulative and harmful platforms.

I agree it is impossible for me to have in real life connections and social media accounts at the same time. Every time I’m interested in something somebody says I try to find a like or share button on their forehead and it becomes super awkward.

Hard pass.

I’m connected with 4 coworkers and that’s it. I’m not interested in my other coworkers knowing what I do outside of work- it’s nothing but it’s none of their business

I only follow people I’ve very grown close to. If my kids know them by name then we follow each other. If you’re a work acquaintance, then I’ll follow after we stop working together.

She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Hey so just to check on my part. I worked at a place where we went to a firm happy hour and women attorneys were there. A picture was passed around of a really hot woman on Instagram who they are oggled , later after the woman left some guy talked about all the quote whores he slept with. The women weren't sex workers presumably. I'm a male this behavior seems inappropriate to me and made me uncomfortable. Am I expected to exhibit this level of 1950s machismo in my day-to-day life?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
