My BOSS has sent a friend request on FB. WWYD?

[Spidermama]

She's my editor. I don't want to be FB friends with her because I'll lack the freedom I feel when posting at the moment.
Nor do I want to snub her and I do notice three of my other colleagues are her FB friends.
Isn't it a bit weird to be FB friends with your boss?

I only friend work people when I leave. It's a sensible rule!

I would ignore then just make out that you're not really a fb user if she brings it up - its what I do.

Ignore. She'll never know.

If she ever asks, say that you don't use FB often/didn't get the request. FB is full of glitches. She's unlikely to ever mention it, though.

Adding your boss on FB is just asking for trouble.

No. Not a good idea.

Or set up an account just for work colleagues and have posts like "I hate weekends, it means I am not with amazing boss."

Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks I will ignore and play dumb.

Are you friends with other colleagues?

"I hate weekends, it means I am not with amazing boss."

Snigger

Def ignore.

WTAF?? ?

Naughty boss.

ignore it. I'd never have any FB friends from work, unless you're sure that these people are utterly trustworthy. I've seen too many people caught out by FB "Friends" who have reported so called negative comments about their work place.

You could add her and restrict what she sees. Or just ignore.

Just ignore it. I think it's perfectly acceptable to do this with work colleague FB requests. I only have a couple of work friends on FB and they're the ones I would go drinking with anyway, so they already know the worst of me.

you set up a seperate online identity like me spidermama.

or just tell her you prefer to keep professional and personal seperate - that's what i say.

What an odd thing to do, I would never be fb friends with people I manage.

I am friends with my boss on fb.

I like her though and I wouldn't complain about work on fb anyway, I only post about once every 6 months and its usually about my DD or my DDog.

needs to get a life

add her as restricted

I'd rather be friends with my boss than my brother. He keeps sending me friend requests and messages, I tell him I don't have a fb account and it must be someone with the same name as me. It's not a common name so its obvious that I'm lying but I don't care, he is a twat.

I won't add anyone from the office. There are a few requests in my inbox. I just leave them there.

I would accept them, but put them into my 'restricted' friends group. by putting them into the restricted friend settings they can see virtually no more than non friends, they won't see your wall posts or photos. they'll then just assume you don't use fb much. I do this to clients, or people I barely know who request to fb friend me!

Just say you don't 'friend' colleagues. If you ignore it, as I did, it can keep popping up. They'll wonder, feel rejected, just say it and get it over with, maybe then invite them for a coffee duirng work time if you're worried the rejection feels too harsh.

Add her, and then immediately put her on 'limited profile'.

She'll think you just have an exceptionally boring Internet life and be none the wiser!

how do you put in limited?

Good to hear about the restricted info thing. Not my boss that's my issue, but my mum!

I would accept, but maybe delete her after a few weeks if you are not comfortable with it.
