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?

Rather than say you don't friend work people tell her you only have family on facebook for keeping in touch and as it is family stuff it is all a bit private

I was friends with my boss on fb and thought we were fine until I was given a disciplinary over something trivial (forgetting to pass on a message). I was so angry I typed out a status then remembered last second and blocked said boss and didn't post. I'm only friends with work colleagues not superiors.

I don't accept colleagues or customers on fb. I just message people to say that when I decline.

Have two FB accounts, one in your real name which is used for contacts,

and your friends ones,

add family to which ever one is appropriate.

Just ignore it! If she says anything just day 'oh did you,I'm terrible with Facebook I always miss things'

I always restrict what some people can see.

Assign those you don't want to have full access to an acquaintances list. Then all my posts go out to "friends except acquaintances". I have to make a conscious decision to actually post messages for all friends to see. Acquaintances cannot see my photos either. Because my default setting is to post things to friends except acquaintances, It is not difficult to manage.

If anyone adds me that I'd rather not have. I usually accept and immediately put them on as an acquaintance. It works as a good compromise for me.

I think if someone sends you a friend request even if you don't accept but just leave it sitting there, they can see all your page just like a friend can. Beware.

I have all colleagues on a list called 'work.' My default privacy settings for Facebook is "Friends except: Work". It works for me; you get to not snub them but retain your privacy.

I was going to say accept and restrict then I saw I'd already said that months ago when the thread was started.

selks I don't think that's true. I think it's true if you send someone a request they can see your page but not the other way around. I just sent a friend request (that I wanted to send anyway!) and the page is the same, just says friend requested.
