Most people act more formally at work than they would otherwise. It's the same idea.

If you have a secure job, or are important to the company, maybe.
Many younger people are not so secure in their jobs, however, or live in a highly religious area, or both. A Facebook user still dependent on their strict parents could also be ruined by a stray pic.
