Co-Worker Reports Social Media Post To Boss

Internet commenters stood firmly on the side of one employee whose critical social media posts ended up in the hands of their boss.

In a viral Reddit post published on the popular r/antiwork forum, Redditor u/blugogi said they criticized a gift they received from their employer on social media and detailed the aftermath of their boss finding out. Titled, “My coworker screenshotted my IG story and sent it to my supervisor,” the viral post has received nearly 30,000 votes and 3,000 comments in just six hours.  The post has since been deleted by the author but leads us to ask, “should you be adding your co-workers on social media”?
