I'm not really opposed to having anyone else from work on, but I'm not going out of my way to add them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-530107 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:00:04 +0000 MrsH 530107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm friends with some of them. No filters though, I currently don't post stuff on Facebook I wouldn't want everyone to see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528566 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 22:28:44 +0000 heffalump 528566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not currently working, but I am friends with my old coworkers and boss on Facebook. I think I waited for them to friend me..... I was a newby there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528099 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:16:18 +0000 Mrs. Train 528099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I am not working i am glad I had some colleagues on there because we kept in touch after I left. Some of my students found me and I have told them I Can not friend them until they are no longer at the school. It was kind of creepy when I saw some teachers Facebook pages full of their students. I don't want to know any of them personally while I was a teacher. Some have found me to tell me they are going to med school and stuff and I don't mind that.</p> <p>My husbands boss sent him a friend request and he felt like he couldn't say no. Then he called in sick and went to disneyland. My cousin tagged him in a photo. He quickly untangled himself but he was just hoping his boss didn't check Facebook during work hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528085 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:08:08 +0000 Alivoo01 528085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few co-workers that are my friends on FB, but we were friends before we became co-workers (college/intern days). I prefer to keep my work life separate from my personal life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528082 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:06:18 +0000 KissMeCait 528082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m friends with a few co-workers on FB but we’re also friends outside of work. I don’t have any special filters set up for them since I don’t really think I need to. I’m not a FB abuser, like oh so many people nowadays. The things that I post on FB are the same things that I’d say IRL, with the exception of some hysterically inappropriate someecards. If they were the type of people who’d be offended by those then we wouldn’t be friends in any capacity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528076 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:03:03 +0000 Dandelion 528076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some co-workers, but they were my friends before I worked there. I work as a temp as a mission agency and a lot of people who work there go to my church and helped me get the job. No body new from work, though. If they weren't on there before, I didn't add them. I don't think I'd deny them if they requested, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528075 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:02:20 +0000 bunnylove08 528075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple of people from work that are my FB friends. I dont post anything that would get me in trouble and they have met both my DH and LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528072 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:00:50 +0000 Smurfette 528072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't friend any current co-workers. Main reason is I am not that close with anyone I work with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528066 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:57:19 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 528066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only friends with two coworkers on FB. If someone else requested me, I'd probably accept, but I might put some filters on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528054 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:48:49 +0000 .twist. 528054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one co-worker on facebook. We're close. Otherwise I have a no co-worker rule as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528053 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:48:38 +0000 JoJoGirl 528053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: Definitely! I know my Dh works in a much more "corporate" environment than my old job, so he'd never add colleagues on FB. He always commented about how dysfunctional it was that we were all up in each other's business all the time, but I liked it :) It felt like a family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528050 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:47:39 +0000 fussygal 528050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>True, it really does depend. Some of my best friends are from previous jobs and at one place in particular we were all very close and it wasn't strange at all to share stuff on FB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528048 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:45:34 +0000 JoJoGirl 528048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. In my old office we were VERY friendly/close/boundaryless so afte working there for 7 years, I was friends with almost everyone on FB. I'm in a new office now and haven't friended anybody (I've been here a year). I wouldn't feel comfortable here because the culture is different.. so I guess it depends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-workers-on-facebook#post-528045 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:43:26 +0000 fussygal 528045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you friend your co-workers on Facebook? Do you have special privacy settings for them?</p> <p>I have a rule that I don't friend them, but wait for them to friend me (with a few exceptions). Unless I'm really close with them I also create a lot of filters/lists so that they can only see certain things. </p>
