Supervisor with public personal instagram account

Hi! Is it unprofessional for supervisor to have a public personal instagram account?

There is basic normal pictures of me, my husband and dog, some humor things and what podcasts/music I listen to. So it's just a basic personal account, but often I see supervisors with private accounts...

So what thoughts on that?

It’s not unprofessional but you have to be extraordinarily careful about what you post. One careless post can cost you a lot.

Also I love it bc then I can see what you like and say that during interviews. I got a 3X raise in income that way once

Deleted all basic social media

I’ve been having a problem, (I have to say it) getting rage baited of course on Facebook. I have a problem with debating and arguing lmao. I also self-sabotage in a way on snap because it’s like I blog my whole damn life on there? Why idk. I’ve done it since a teenager, and while I know it’s not bad unless I perceive it as bad, it does make me feel guilty sometimes and the root of that is something I still need to figure out. I deleted tik tok as well! I have also deleted instagram. Tik Tok, Snapchat, Insta, Facebook are ALL deleted. So far it’s been like 2 days, but I honestly feel really good, I’m just trying to find other ways to keep me busy and away from rotting in my bed, or sleeping. The hard part is I don’t have a car, I can’t really go do much and walking around my neighborhood is just bleh. I do have a job, I work 40 hours a week at a senior home so I really feel like getting rid of social media will also help me pay better attention. I just feel so bored. Any tips??

Are influencers just modern-day scammers with better branding?

Most influencers sell lifestyles that aren’t real, promote products they don’t use, and make money off people who trust them. How is that different from scamming just more socially accepted? Or am I being too harsh?

Are today's insane 'aesthetic' lifestyle expectations financially destroying young earners, or are we all just bad with money

One of my friends recently opened up to me about how stressed he is with money, and his experience really hit hard. He makes about 50k in a normal corporate job — nothing fancy, no six-figure tech salary. By all traditional measures he’s doing “fine,” but he feels broke and stressed all the time. He told me the pressure comes from how much the “minimum acceptable life” has changed.It’s no longer enough to just have a roof, a car, and food. Now it feels like you’re expected to: * Live in a trendy, Instagram-worthy apartment in a nice walkable area (not some basic place far from everything) * Keep up with the latest gadgets — new iPhone every year, AirPods, smartwatch, laptop, etc. * Have multiple subscriptions (streaming services, gym, meal delivery, etc.) * Travel a few times a year because “experiences > things” * Eat out or order in regularly — cooking every night feels like a chore * Invest in self-care, skincare, fitness, and “mental health” stuff that all adds up He says social media makes it look so easy and normal. Everyone his age seems to be living this aesthetic lifestyle, going on trips, decorating their places nicely, and posting about it. Meanwhile, he’s budgeting hard but still feels like he’s barely keeping up.He doesn’t have massive debt (just student loans), he doesn’t blow money on stupid stuff, and he tries to be responsible. Yet he constantly worries about money and feels behind. Is this just normal lifestyle creep and young people today are spoiled? Or have the expectations of what a “good young adult life” should look like become financially unrealistic for average earners in 2026? Would especially love to hear from people around 25–32 who are in similar situations — what’s your take? Appreciate any honest takes.

Facebook page bug reposting 3 times in iphone app

I’m so frustrated that there is no customer service at Facebook. I’ve had the same problem for months now. I post a photo or a reel on my Facebook page through the iPhone app and it post three times. I have no other apps connected to my account other than Instagram. If I post it through Instagram and post one time. However, there’s times I need to post on Facebook and when there are three versions, I have to delete two and that downgrade the remaining one as a repeat. This is costing me money and time. Any ideas?

I think i’d rather have 2k right followers than 20k random ones

the more i try to grow on instagram, the less i care about the actual follower number. i’d rather have a smaller account where people actually watch, reply, or care about the niche than a bigger one full of people who never interact. that’s probably why i keep noticing stuff like path social lately because the whole idea of finding people based on your niche makes more sense to me than just chasing numbers. curious how other people think about growth now. do you still care about follower count or mostly engagement and who’s actually following you?

Has anyone been able to use their photography portfolio/social media account to allow them to go to conferences/events by companies and such?

I'm just kind of wondering.
