I tweet during the day between tasks and my boss recently followed me. Will he think I'm slacking if he sees me tweeting constantly?

Yes there is a perception there regardless of the quality of work. We’re not managing your time/life but we are managing you during work time.

You are concerned enough to ask this question… and you know your manager. Maybe you should be careful about your posting time.

Maybe tweet before work, lunch and at the end of day

This is what I would do. It's kind of limiting but it's your best chance of not looking like you spend all your work hours tweeting.

Unless it’s an offensive tweet I don’t see how he could justify it

Odd that he followed you tbh

Agree. I wouldn’t do this.

If you're uncomfortable with him following you, you could always block him. But I have coworkers who post Instagram stories during the day while we are WFH and I don't think less of them. I think it depends on how often you tweet like everyone else is saying. One or two wouldn't bother me but if it's a constant stream of tweets about questionable content I think it could be a problem. I think I would block him if I were you. I know that sounds harsh but I just wouldn't be comfortable - it's not like my Twitter is the same as my LinkedIn.

Yikes, it depends on the time? Maybe a lunchtime tweet or EOD tweet is acceptable.

It's odd that he followed you at all. I would block him; you don't want to start blurring the lines between personal and professional in a way that could come back to bite you.

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?
