I would not mention as much of my personal life as I did.

People are going to make decisions based on more than just merit.

It might not be fair, done consciously, or with malice, but it happens.

I was going to write very much the same thing.

I've given too much information about my health, and now it gets used against me.

Your employer, managers, supervisors; they're not you're friends. You can and should remain friendly to an extent, but be careful what information you give away.

I like that.... "Remain friendly, but remember they're not your friends".

Yep, the only thing I've let slip is that I volunteer at a non profit.

How does it feel like that has worked against you? [How could anyone possibly weaponize this [unless the non-profit is like Burning War-Orphan Flags and War-Orphans of America or something]?].

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

There's a certain voting population that sees even that as weakness. I'm sure you can figure that one out.

If it’s not the supporters of the Killary Klinton Krime family then I don’t even want to know. (Thank you for volunteering—it’s rad!).
