Facebook for Friends, LinkedIn for Colleagues

MaxOrTori

Do you accept bosses, coworkers, and colleagues as friends on FB?

I just accepted a former co-worker as a friend on FB, because I didn't know how to tell her no (and I felt I couldn't ignore her).

Previously, I have always used LinkedIn for my professional relationships.  It keeps it clean cut - and not that I am a wild child, but I like to keep my personal life private.

WDYD?

I have past collegues on my FB, but it depends on the relationship we had  when we were working together.  Any current ones are not.  I will not accept current co-workers on FB.

Luckily my profile is on super secret lockdown, so no one can find me if they run a search.

However, before I was on SSL I did friend coworkers, but I blocked most of my profile including my photo albums and statuses as well as my wall.

I kept current coworkers and employees off of FB, but I have added the ones that I liked since I left. I am in management and have had multiple levels of people reporting to me, so I stay away from it.

I only have a couple of past co-workers as friends. I turned down a couple others at that job who friended me at the time. Now, my dad is my boss and it's just the two of us, and yes he is my friend on fb haha.

I have a handful of people from my company, but most of them are not people I actually work with.  Most of them also have different privacy settings.

I don't used Linked In.  I had a profile for a while, but I never used it so didn't see a point.

Except for a couple, I have no one from work on FB.  They don't need to see my pictures.  I use LinkedIn as my work FB

I have a few coleagues that I'm friendly with outside of work.  Those I have as friends on FB...

If it was a boss, that's another story.

I have accepted co-workers, but tend to use the "Limited Profile" for them. I don't mind having them as "friends" but obviously some things I like to keep to my personal life!
