I am a recruiter in the UK and just want to know if anyone else had this experience before.

So the other day we all had a meeting where my boss said that we now need to give them the to our LinkedIn and change it to a work email (I have been using it for 1.5 years to get new business and has always been my personal email as I had the prior to starting) and has written a policy where we need to sign and hand over our details as the business I have got from it belongs to the company and not to me.

Now I have no issues with the business I have got from it but more so it’s been my profile form the get go and I don’t have to feel like I’m being spied on via LinkedIn and having access to what I do.

Any advice would be amazing - I haven’t signed the contract change as I want to talk about it before.

You can always resign and move to a new company. You don't have to sign anything you re uncomfortable with.

What if you don't have LinkedIn ? You already have good advice above. Where in UK are you?Because I am pretty sure your privacy settings is high.

It's important to discuss your concerns with your boss and express your perspective on the matter. Emphasize the personal nature of your LinkedIn and how you've used it to build business relationships. Suggest finding a compromise that ensures the company's interests are protected without compromising your privacy. Open communication can often lead to a resolution that benefits both parties.

I just sent you a mail

I don't know the number of times we have to teach people that Am cannot start a sentence if it's not a question. Use I am or I'm

Your employer doesn't have the right to make such a request. It's a violation of privacy. Know your rights.

Tommorow they will get annoyed when foreign universities ask them to take English proficiency tests.

"Am" cannot be used without "I". It either goes before "I" in a question or after in a sentence.

Why is the employer mad? What type of bullying is that?

Tell him No or you ask him to give his own Linkd as well.

What nonsense is that?
