About 6 years ago, a religious extremist in a Utah-based faith I went to high school with decided to report a non-business social media post I made on my own time, with mild regional profanity. She is not a customer of my company.
HR, upon receiving such a report, reached out to my manager to ask him to discuss and to ask me to remove the post and reference to where I work.
I feel HR should have ignored and filed her complaint in the circular file as it had zero to do with my job and was on my own time and equipment. Ever since then, I give my managers a poor annual assessment. It’s not his fault, he’s just a cog in the system, but I think he should have pushed back on such a petty thing.
