It’s tempting to check out someone’s social media profiles—be it a first date, a new neighbor, or a potential or current employee. Source: VectorStory / iStock / Getty. While in most cases, this “research” is harmless and simply provides some insight into these individuals’ personalities, when it comes to the workplace, it isn’t as simple as seeing if you have the same taste in music.
