Because of crap like this is why I haven't been on any mainstream social media for 7+ years. And where do companies get off going over employees' personal crap anyway? For the record, I believe EVERYONE hates Mondays.

You mean, there are places that don't monitor their employees' social media accounts to compare against?

I believe my company doesn't, but maybe it's just that I don't have Amy which allowed me to live blissfully unaware that they do 😁

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.
