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.

        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.
