Do you connect with long-term co-workers on social media?

Question

I've been working for my company for 3 years now and only have a couple of people I'm connected with on Facebook/Instagram.
As a result, I get "friend suggestions" to connect with other co-workers in the company who I rarely see (in another state) and others who I'm friendly with but just never thought of adding/sharing my life with.

We talk about semi-personal issues at work and I don't have anything super personal on social media, but after a few years is it ok to add more people you work with or should there be a deeper bond within your personal life to connect and share things with them?

No.  Use LinkedIn to connect with professional contacts.  Keep Facebook for actual person friends.  You don't need some colleague in another state viewing your vacation pictures or seeing so post another friend makes.  Different platforms for the appropriately separate relationships.

So many people use social media today its fine to connect with people that way.  I personally don't, but most kids today think nothing of sharing everything with people they barely know.
