Just lie and say you don’t have social media?

Meaning they asked you in person to follow you? Or they just added you?

Just ignore or delete the request, you don’t have to confront them about it

Decline and if confronted explain your FB is your personal space and you like to keep that as part of your work life balance.

Ignore or decline and do not say anything.

My ASM is lazy and is incapable of doing the easiest basic tasks with recruitment. She receives all my end of day updates, is cc’d on all emails, makes me fill out 5 repetitive excel/smart sheet, and joins all my meetings but she still wants to call having me 5x daily about updates. I’m always the one to go to if other recruiters fail to meet client deadlines and cleaning up recruiters mistakes. How do I even handle this to begin with?
