It can be a tricky situation when your boss tries to take your relationship outside of the office and onto social media. It can become a grey area between professional and personal life. Claire McLean, CEO of Realise HR, tells The Agency that this blurring of boundaries is becoming more common.
So, what do you do when your boss follows you on social media? Claire suggests having an adult conversation and expressing your discomfort with it. If that feels too awkward, you could just accept the follow and hide your content from them.
If you're still feeling uneasy, then you could ask the Human Resources department to help. They can sit down with you and your boss and ensure that both sides understand the situation. The most important point is to not let it fester.
