I use my own GitHub account for both personal projects and for work, but Red Hat's open source contribution policies are probably the most liberal on the planet, so I don't have any need to separate them. However, it's also the case that if an employer is simultaneously: 1. Expecting employees to maintain a clear separation between personal and paid activity on GitHub; and 2. Refusing to pay for dedicated GitHub work accounts for their employees Then there's a contradiction between their expectations and their failure to provide employees with the resources needed to meet those expectations.
