Seems like "a desire to be publicly accessible at all times" is the outlier as far as history goes, surely. Social media use isn't exactly a known positive indicator :b.
Is this a variety of FOMO?
(Fear of missing out).
I hear that's a big thing now.
And of course there's the employee version of that too. Where boss can talk to you 24-7. I don't know what the name for that is.
It's a kind of massive force for unsolitude.
The boss thing is as often about trying to avoid negative consequences/staying in control of an interaction.
If you’re always available to your boss, it’s harder for them to blame you for something not working (because you weren’t there to walk them through it at 2am).
If you respond to a negative social media post before everyone else reads it, you have a better chance in getting ahead of a shitstorm, etc.
And if you ask for an interpretation of one of those quotes they get evasive.
