Come on, if the job requires the employee to do this, it should be mentioned in the job interview. Now, if it's not a requirement, if it's not part of the job, it's wrong.

Ask yes, demand definitely no.

It varies by job. In Southeast Asia, it's normal that employees are asked to share work-related stuff on their personal social accounts. To handle this, lots of people have two accounts: one for work, one for personal things.

Absolutely, ethical considerations play a crucial role in the workplace. When companies ask employees to tailor their social media presence, it's essential to strike a balance between personal expression and brand alignment. Transparency and respect for individual boundaries are key. Remember, building a positive online presence benefits both the company and employees.
