I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

If it is personal and they do not mention the company than this is strictly none of your business.

Kanye is a poor example because that is a public relations type role. He is a brand all on his own which has far heavier implications than someone's private Twitter account.

If it's an anonymous account therea plausible deniability. Mind your own business and go on with your life. If they start saying stuff like that in person to clients and coworkers... Then you have a problem.

If it’s an anonymous twitter account, how did you find it? Could anyone else off the street reasonably perform the same discovery that you did? Or do you only know because you’ve seen the account on his device?

Asking because if the general public can’t reasonably discern his identity and thus link the account to a P&W employee, I don’t think it violates anything.

like

Exactly; Situational context matters here. Did he leave the twitter account up on his work computer, did you stumble across a re-tweet of company news and piece together his identity through post history, were you FB stalking him??

Posting from work or specific derogatory information about colleagues would be an issue. I would think twice about reporting him for just being a bad person.

If it doesn't interfere with your job, then no. It's none of your business what your coworker does with their life outside of the workplace. For now, I'd ignore it.

You said it's anonymous - how sure are you that it's your coworker's? If you were to tell HR formally, I'd imagine they'd need something definitive to actually do anything.

Yes. If it’s that bad, yes.

If you found it, how do you think your company will be reflected upon if a client finds it. Think about the thought process this person may make. Your an engineering manager, are they a similarly ranked peer? Think about how this potential manager is conducting themselves in a posting on like that.

If it were me I would. That’s integrity right? Doing right and being the example in the background of the line light. That doesnt seem very integrity driven.

People are allowed to be who they want to be behind closed doors. Probably one or several of your coworkers is into BDSM. It’s not illegal. But also as a P&W employee in a public forum one would probably not disclose that they’re into super kinky fetishes.

So the heart of the issue is whether the public can reasonably determine the identity of the owner of the public account.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise.
