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.

        The last three or four companies I’ve worked for did. Usually a month or so in HR would want to know why I didn’t tell them about my birbsite account. They also usually asked why I didn’t update my LinkedIn page to say I was working there now.
