Someone off sick and accepted Facebook friend request?

[MagicSweets]

Would this seem odd to you?

My friend had a lumpectomy on Tuesday. Once she came round from the anaestheic and back on the recovery ward she messaged to say the op was over.
Guess she should have taken a taxi straight back to work rather than going home.

This is why you should never have work colleagues on your fb.

No it isn’t! Literally nobody thinks the person was unreasonable to be on Facebook when they were off I’ll.

Ill^

That's quite ridiculous, there's nothing wrong with that at all.

I have a chronic pain condition. If I'm bed bound I'm often still on my phone to give me something to do and interact.

YABU.

[BeyondWitchbitchterf]

Mona, me too.
I'm in bed right now on my iPad

Forever on my phone when unwell. It gives me something to focus on that isn't my crap body.

@PurpleDaisies

Yes, nobody on here seems to have a problem with being on fb when you are off sick and yet the question was asked.

Employment tribunals due to social media use and social media being used as evidence to bring about dismissal is massively on the rise.

I never put colleagues on my fb because I wouldn't want my personal and professional lives to mix. Or jeopardize my income.

That said, people can do as they please. And when I leave a job I add my old colleagues.

WhenbI was sick with pneumonia I pretty much spent all my time on facebook and other stuff on my phone. Being sick is boring. I certainly wasn't well enough to work.

The op is quite bizarre. If they had called in sick, then were tagged in photos going for a night out, while off sick, I would take your point.

[Gabilan]

Whatwould I don't add current colleagues to my FB either. Whilst so many people on here think using FB whilst sick is reasonable, evidently someone somewhere is objecting. And that's just one way in which it can all go horribly wrong.

[WhiteWalkersWife]

Why couldnt they call in themselves? Thats procedure here. Short of being unconcious (which one i was) or unable to speak, you have to call in yourself.

As for fb, weird timing but not weird they could fb while sick.

[TimeforCupcakes]

OP where are you...?

[JennyBlueWren]

Strangely I just accepted a friend request while off sick!
I had also posted a few comments about being ill on Fbook (nothing TMI but my son's medical advice of needing to moisturise!).
Colleagues also messaged me (one work related to reassure me of how I'd been covered as she knows I fuss about it).

I doubt the person who requested me as a friend would be complaining on here about it though (certainly hope not!!).

[StaplesCorner]

OP has gone sick and banned themselves from t'internet!!

[Crinkle77]

I get where you're coming from op. If someone is too ill ring in themselves i would have thought they would be too ill to be bothered going on facebook. I would think they would would be asleep in bed.

[Chienrouge]

But they can’t sleep for 24 hours of the day can they?

[AnyFucker]

Called in sick. Or called in dead?

Post of the day 🏅

[Springtrolls]

Keep forgetting when you are ill you are supposed to stay chained to your bed, with just enough chain to let you go toilet and if you are lucky to be able to reach the kitchen.

[Psychobabble123]

You can't be serious OP?! 😂

[NerrSnerr]

If one of my colleagues did this I would probably log it with 101 just in case.

[Mummyoflittledragon]

I’ll never work again because I’m too sick.
What am I allowed to do?

Same here. I was wondering the same thing. I’m on here all the bloody time. My fingers work. It’s the rest of me that struggles.

[Spacesuitmakeover]

Cancel the cheque?

[TheJoyOfSox]

How much effort do you think it takes to log onto fb?

[Mummyoflittledragon]

I would probably log it with 101 just in case.
