[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be careful posting anything lionizing Charlie Kirk. Your employer might decide (a) you’re an idiot, and too stupid to keep on board; or (2) someone who agreed with him, which makes you a legal liability if you supervise minorities or women. Remember, free speech doesn’t mean free from consequences. [/quote]

I'd be careful posting anything about politics or religion or other topics you would not discuss IN THE OFFICE with your colleagues.  Duh.  There is a reason it's advised to keep any personal and controversial topics outside of the office.  Why would you post online under your own name? I never understood this.  I only have Linked In and FB accounts under my name and with my photos and I would NEVER in million years post any personal beliefs that could be remotely controversial or engage in any political conversations.   People posting videos of their face on social media are fools[/quote]

I have to add that this advice is OLD, decades old.  It's always been an unwritten rule that some conversations are out of bounds in the business place and in the office unless you are working at a media related company, a journalist, politically affiliated, etc.  Unless IT'S YOUR JOB to engage in these conversations with the public and each other and it's the source of your livelihood, and your "brand" it's foolish.  You gain nothing out of it.  Unlike protesting on the streets you are leaving your face and your identity footprint all over the internet for anyone to see, including people who have or may have power over your livelihood, your destiny, etc.  People erroneously thought that TikTok and other platforms were free speech protesting grounds.  Maybe they do serve this role in some way, but they also harvest your information and store it, and it can be used against you at any time even years later.  It's just common sense.  Teach this to your kids. [/quote]
