My manager found my social media and brought it up at work. It was awkward. I want to block them but don’t think that would be good either. I’m not trying to be stalked as I try to fulfill my content creator dreams on the side. Has this ever happened to you?? What would you do?

Don’t worry, you’re allowed to have social media accounts (unless you’re a racist homophobe, then that’s a concern). But assuming you’re just a regular influencer hopeful, feel free to block them, they won’t even notice.

This means a lot coming from a CD. It’s funny because when I was in school I was told social media should be completely private don’t post anything personal. And with content creation generation it’s a whole different world and ball game

What is it they “brought up”? Whatever the situation, there’s no reason you can’t block them and just say you want to keep your personal and professional stuff separate. Better than censoring yourself for the rest of the time you work for them…

I said this in a comment above - “They were shocked at how big my community was and my presence and were showing everyone at the company” and it was just very uncomfortable. Thank you I think I need to do that

No because I keep all my profiles private, which I understand isn't an option for an aspiring content creator. I would block them and honestly be a bit weirded out by it. There's no reason for them to bring this up unless you were posting something that painted the company in a bad light, and I doubt that was the case.

They were just shocked at how big my community was and couldn’t stop talking about it. I will I just don’t want to make it more awkward than it is 🙃

I found my old boss’s tiktok as it came up on my FYP. Then found out he was making content while on the clock bc his videos were in his work office. Someone else saw and reported it. Then he blocked me- it stuck in my mind that he blocked me. I wouldn’t have thought anything else of it if he hadn’t.

Ohhh crap. So you were on the other side of this. So how has being blocked impacted your working and relational dynamic? Are they still posting?

Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry. I am interested in exploring other opportunities as I know there are a lot out there, but is anyone else worried about the current economic state? I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?
