Özet:
Though much scholarly work has explored how social media users construct and triangulate a presentation of self, there has been a gap in research regarding how such selfing practices are carried out when performing for imagined audiences including workplace supervisors. Drawing upon Goffman's (1959) symbolic interactionism paradigm, I analyze how workers connected to their supervisors online report engaging in impression management on social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, and SnapChat. I conducted 21 in-depth interviews to explore the nuances of these selfing practices. I found marked class differences in these practices: women with college degrees emphasized considering negative repercussions at work due to online interactions whereas women without college degrees were more likely to focus solely on positive consequences. All women underscored their efforts to convey optimism online, though many alluded to pessimism by using humor including via "memes." Finally, women across classes leverage online connections to enhance camaraderie among coworkers and with supervisors. Findings offer relevant implications for how workers use social media in an increasingly digital world and how online behaviors function to reify class inequality.
