It is important to keep in mind that social media is a public platform and anything shared can reflect on oneself and their employer. To appear professional and maintain job security, Ashley should only share content that she would be comfortable sharing in the office. This includes avoiding any controversial or offensive topics and refraining from posting anything that could potentially harm the reputation of her employer. It is not necessary to immediately send a friend request to her boss or accept friend requests from all colleagues as privacy should also be considered.
