Uncle Jason. Oh my God. I'm so happy for you. What I'm happy for is that I spent the last hour talking about how difficult parenting is and you have a big smile on your face and I did not ruin your life by talking about this, which means that you're like as ready as you possibly can be. I love you. I love you guys. This is great. To go into something eyes wide open,
and know that the thing that you're going to do is hard and you want to do it anyway, that is literally as much preparation as you can have. Everybody, before you have kids, should sit down with someone like me and just talk to them for an hour and have them bitch and moan.
And if you still want it, then you want it. Right. If you still want it, if you're like, great, got it. It's going to be really hard, but I can manage and I've processed all this. The only thing that you can do as a parent is to have eyes wide open. And that's it. That's the whole thing. So I declare you ready. Not that you needed me to do that. Thank you.
And I'm glad because holy shit, if you were four months pregnant and at the end of this, you were like, I have made a terrible mistake for myself. Help Wanted is a production of Money News Network. Help Wanted is hosted by me, Jason Pfeiffer.
Oh, I didn't sign up for that.
This is Help Wanted, the show that makes your work work for you. I'm Jason Pfeiffer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur Magazine.
And on Thursdays, I give you one way to improve your work and build a career or company you love.
Oh, I didn't even notice that. I will take it. What a big deal I am on this show. That's exciting. Morgan, welcome to my show where Nicole occasionally appears too.
My wife is very obsessed with that.
All right. I like it. It's like the digital age Emily Post.
Here's a question back to you. Has your boss followed you on Instagram?
Ah. Ah.
I think that it depends upon the kind of relationship that you have with your boss. My boss's name is Bill at Entrepreneur. I thought I did not follow him, but I just checked Instagram and actually I do and he follows me. So maybe it's not so bad because Didn't even notice.
But I think that the real issue here is how much should you be thinking about people that you know professionally when you are posting on social media? And I think the answer to that is all the time. Because even if your boss doesn't follow you, they could see something that you post. So you should probably act like your boss follows you regardless of what you do.
You can follow. Right. There's like a whole ton of them.
Better not. That's fair. I think that the blocking is an aggressive move. So you'd want to be careful about that.
I would say default to no too. I would also say it shouldn't matter because the things that you're posting on social media are so work safe that anyone can see it. And this is why you should just create group chats with friends where you can really do all your shit talking.
No, no. I actually make a very specific point of this. I do not follow colleagues unless we have hung out and that colleague relationship has turned friend-like. Otherwise, I leave it alone. I do not follow them. I don't want them thinking about me when they're posting stuff. That is an intentional decision that I make.
So, yeah, here's a non digital scenario that I expand into all of this stuff. When I became the boss. I realized that my presence at a after work happy hour took on a different meaning. I think that people might want to talk about me. They might want to talk about some annoying thing that I did. And that's their right. They should.
And when I was there, now they all have to defer to me in some way because... His highness. But that's how I always feel. If anybody is above me in a hierarchy, I add this level of deferentialness to just general conversation just because I don't ever want them to be annoyed at me because that's the thing.
