I also think this goes the other way. There’s gotta be a fair amount of conservatives that check social media history and won’t hire a flaming leftist.

That’s why you never, unless maybe if you’re a celebrity, post under your own name on social media. It doesn’t matter which side you take on history, current events, past or future predictions, you’re going to make enemies and someday that could very well haunt you.

It can definitely go the other way. The upper management at my company definitely tilt conservative and are pro-Trump. We stay completely away from politics during work (as everybody should) but there is no fear of losing your job around here over your political beliefs - even if you were a liberal. Our company is all about hiring and retaining good people who contribute. How they vote is their own business.

I think this whole thing is overblown. The idea that HR staff (or even hiring managers) are combing social media profiles of applicants and weeding them out because they supported Trump are in the minority. Besides, who would want to work for a company that did that! They would be doing me a favor by crossing me off the list.

I’m sure if I was to hire someone, I can’t ask “trump or Biden?” and use their answer to decide.

However, I have one commission based sales person (the rest is family) and I met them on social media, so I already knew who they supported.

same with most of my venders. You spout Biden, I spend somewhere else. Your company goes “woke” I spend somewhere else.

my main supplier of parts was Amazon (they are actually very competitive on prices) now it’s bongino supporter Rock Auto.
