One colleague tagged me on Instagram today. Then my previous director (complicated woman) and the other boss (also female) both requested to follow me...
I feel awkward. What should I do?

Leave them hanging - I made the mistake of accepting a follow from a coworker and always have to think twice before I post anything work-related. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I feel you! In my private time I just want to be myself with fully freedom, not wearing the mask or wondering their opinions.

Another option is to accept their request and then block/unblock in a few days, which will cause them to unfollow you. I feel like most people would forget or just assume you don’t post. Obviously this only works if you don’t have anything in your profile that you would mind them seeing.

I’m not sure if I’d like them to know my private life, probably not. Better be more careful 😶
