Employee gets written up by HR for posting about disliking Mondays on personal social media account: 'Someone in the office is creeping on my social media'

There are a number of reasons why HR might reprimand you for something… but this seems a bit far-fetched. Here, we have an employee who, like any other twenty-something employee in the 2020s, has a personal social media account where they post photos with friends and the occasional relatable memes. This past weekend, the employee shared a relatively benign photo of their friend group grabbing drinks on a Saturday night. There was nothing inappropriate documented that could come back to bite the…

Because of crap like this is why I haven’t been on any mainstream social media for 7+ years. And where do companies get off going over employees’ personal crap anyway? For the record, I believe EVERYONE hates Mondays.

    Yeah, the solution to apps selling your data is using only free software, the only problem that still remains is that your mobile network provider also sells your location data.

      Yeah. The solution to that is using WiFi all over, but that’s not feasible for most people. That’s the 1 thing I’m still stuck with. There’s no 2 ways about it. Either you keep feeding your location to your mobile service provider to have internet everywhere, or you sacrifice that convenience and go completely dark. Fortunately the option of VOIP for voice calls instead of a voice Sim is available, which lessens the issue a bit. I use JMP.chat for that. Seriously thinking about getting their data Sim as well.

      The only solution to that is permanent airplane mode (on an OS you can trust to do so) and just not having the phone on you most of the time.
