@chandlerroth55: Replying to @ghoyer03 another example of a way in which personal information can be used against you at work! And it could (and probably will) impact your compensation and growth potential. #lawyer #work
Only time to disclose an expensive hobby is if it’s a shared hobby with someone who can promote you/advance your career.

Do children count as expensive hobbies? Asking for the childless people…..

I knew hiring managers that would look at candidates’ instagram profiles to see if the they traveled a lot. If they did, they wouldn’t want to hire them.

These videos make me convinced I’m the only level headed person to ever be in management… I give raises and bonus based on what you produced through the year. I do not have bandwidth to care past that point nor should I.

when they ask what my hobby is, I tell them about my volunteer time so they know I value my time outside of work and plant trees

You're negotiating from a position of weakness.
I straight up told my employer that I was going to be purchasing a $300,000 racing sailboat in the 3 years. They were either going to help me achieve that goal with xx% raise or I was leaving. Guess who has received that double digit raise every single year over the last 8 years now?

The personal connections I’ve made over 20 years of sharing everything have been worth far more than the incremental raises I may have missed.

Even buying a new car out of necessity will be seen as you doing “well”

The way I got treated differently at jobs because they knew I lived with my parents and didn’t have living expenses…

I worked for a VP who insisted on his reps having expensive hobbies because he knew they would work harder to pay for it plus it showed they were successful enough to invest in those hobbies. It was a green flag to him.

My hobby is ✨ library and walks ✨ as far as they are concerned (and it’s also true!).

I’m in management. I don’t discuss hobbies, my kid’s expense sports or vacations with people at work, and especially not my subordinates. People get upset. I’ve seen other managers make this mistake.

Worked in fintech and having expensive hobbies was a flex and you are expected to wear expensive clothes.

Omg yeah don’t! They will throw it in your face. My ex collected pinball machines, everyone thought I had $. I didn’t HE did, it was his hobby but they could see the machines in the background. They would expect me to chip in more for some things.

I will never forget working as a grant writer with a PhD making $36k and my boss walking in with a $4,000 brand new YSL bag the day after I was given a measly 1% raise after 1.5 years. Quit the next day and never spoke to her again.

I thought you should disclose so they know you can buy the company if they act up
