People rarely post anything on FB anyway. Insta and snap you can hide your stories from them. Only real worry is them seeing your new and old IG and FB posts. It really depends on what kinds of things you post. You would be surprised how much people in accounting love to gossip. I’ve had countless coworkers say things like “you know what I saw on xx’s FB/IG?!” and it would be something the person posted years ago lol. That being said, I added people from my start class because we hang out a lot outside of work. I didn’t add people below or above me because I heard a few cases where someone called out “sick” and then a fellow coworker posted a story/post of them hanging out with the sick coworker who was ditching, but the coworker was social media friends with managers and SM who saw the posts. It didn’t end well

Depends. If I consider them someone I’d be friends with if we didn’t work together, sure. I’m a pretty good judge of character and tend to know who I can trust. I also don’t post much of anything that would be considered “controversial” so I’m not really hiding anything from them. I just don’t accept everyone just because we know each other.

Yes to the ones I like

Why or why not

No, and I truly love some of them. They just don’t need to know me as well as my inner circle knows me.

I rarely accept social friend requests from coworkers. Maybe one or two I hang with all the time but even then it gives me pause.

As for the why - I am not “business me” in my off hours. That’s my time to be comfortable and myself. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with my coworkers seeing me be that person.

It depends who some are my friends so yes but others definitely not

Can’t mix my ho life with my pro life…. So no I don’t accept co workers as friends on social media

Nah, just the ones who really matter

Definitely not

NO

It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males.
