if my current or future employer ever required me to associate my personal accounts with work in any way as a condition for continued employment, i'd tell them to go f*ck themselves. in fact, i now ask about any such policy in interviews and if they get the answer wrong, i walk out the door.

no employment opportunity is worth selling out your personal life.

the only acceptable condition may be a _promise_ not to post negative things on your personal account while employed.

just my $0.02

Personally I don't like that either.

Yeah, I really don't want my personality associated with the company I work for. I love my company and I believe in the things we do, but I am so much more than an employee. My Facebook profile says nothing about who I work for, nor do I talk about my company to friends and family except if they're looking for a job or if I'm directly asked what I do/what I'm working on.

I wouldn't talk bad about my company and I would agree that people who talk bad about their company yet continue to work there have some strange priorities, but I don't talk much good about them either. I just don't talk about it at all.
