You broke the first rule of twitter, never post anything on your public twitter other than banal corporate hype and safe, non controversial topics you've already seen other worker-drones post. Or, just be uncontroversial enough in your personal life that everything you'd post anyway would never possibly offend the hierarchs now or at any time in the future, like 10+ years down the road.
For most of us, it's just not worth it. The only thing I post on my identity-linked twitter is stuff I'm told to post by my employer. It's just not worth taking this sorts of risks in this environment.

- busterarm 5y agoI mean, fair, but I'm a working Cloud Expert and Architect and I never do any public speaking or publishing whatsoever. The other two I will full-on agree with.
- darkwater 5y agoFor the latter two not everybody, but many - especially the ones doing consulting - will have a very visible public face and status. Which is not a b ad thing per se, but you should always read any claim/suggestion with a grain of salt, as there might be some conflict of interest behind them.
