I just finished a conversation with my boss' boss, telling me (as nice as he can) to make all my facebook posts both future and past as hidden as possible.
When I asked why, he made it clear. People are having their lives ruined by posting a maga hat and he was looking out for my best interests.
I work for a fortune 500 company, multi-national and my position is pretty damned important (only about 10 people are in my position in a huge multi-national company) and my boss' boss is warning me against having my whole life destroyed.
I can't tell if I should be mad, sad, or terrified.
It's a sign of the times. I received an eerily similar talk about two months ago. It fucking sucks to have to choose between your livelihood and your core beliefs, but that's where we are now, especially if you work for a large-cap company.
There are creative ways to disobey and get away with it.
If you are up to the task, I would recommend starting your own company if you can. As one who worked for Fortune 100 companies for many years, it really isn't worth spending the best years of your life working for a company that will just kick you to the curb once you are older or become what they perceive to be a political liability.
This is good advice.
This is why you need to get out of the rat race ASAP.
