Good reasons to say yes:
Strengthen your bonds
: You’ll learn more about your coworkers’ lives and share a little bit about your own—no one will be able to accuse you of not being involved in the team!
Show another side of your personality
—we don’t always have time to talk about our lives and passions in detail, so social media offers an opportunity to show yourself in a new light and engage in more casual conversations outside of purely professional discussions
Expand your network
Following each other on social media lets you stay connected even after someone leaves the company. It also makes it easier to have their contact information on hand.
What if it wasn't such a good idea?
Be careful about your privacy
—you might not want to share your tastes and ideas with everyone, just as you don't tell your coworkers every detail of your life…
A form of social pressure:
“Did you see that I was in Perdu-sur-Mer this weekend? No? I’m just saying that because you didn’t like my post…” If the thought of a conversation like that first thing Monday morning gives you cold sweats, don’t add any coworkers on social media!
A risk to your reputation
—from simple musical opinions to political views, not to mention photos of you drunk on a Saturday night—your online presence can damage your reputation in the workplace.
