I'm a very private person who was recently widowed and I live in a very rural, isolated moorland location. It's a beautiful area but I am quite mindful of my personal safety due to living alone.
I work in the public sector and feel under increasing pressure regarding social media.My own social media footprint is very small and I'm particularly careful about what I post, there are very few photos of me online.I run a small business with an online presence and has an issue a few years back where I was sent pornographic texts, indecent phone calls etc so that has made me very cautious.
My workplace expects us to post videos of our day to day work on FB and Instagram and I'm extremely uncomfortable with this. Comments from the public will typically lambast us for being employees of our organization, ask why we're doing nothing about waiting lists or comment that we're looking good/bad, tag friends and relatives etc.There's nothing in my job description saying I need to participate in social media and the content is driven by a colleague who's been on a half day course with an influencer so he's hardly an expert.His recent idea was that we should show the world what we were having for lunch and promptly videoed our entire table.
I'm thinking of opting out completely although I never gave permission to opt in.
