What's your policy with adding coworkers on facebook?

I haven't minded too much in the past when I've had co-workers send me friend requests on facebook.

We all spend our days in the same office...

Just checked my email and I have one from an older lady in the office whom I'd rather not have looking at all of my pictures and what not... but at the same time I don't want to be an asshole and not accept he request.

what do you people do in this sort of situation?
 
I don't do it. Then I can bitch about work on facebook if that need ever arises w/o issue. 😀
 
As others have mentioned, you can make special friends groups with limited access.

In my case, I don't update mine enough to care and am still considering killing my account. I've probably hidden the posts/updates from 50%+ of my friends list.
 
Help me understand the point of adding someone as a friend, then making sure they can't see anything or post to your wall.
 
Don't do it. You don't know what kinky crap she's put up on her wall. Chains, handcuffs, whips, ball-gags. **shiver**

Only reason I do it is so that people stop bugging me IRL about "Why haven't you accepted by friend request???"

And then when they mention something about not seeing my wall, or photos, or whatever, I just tell them I have it all turned off.

And then when they say "Well whats the point of having it then?", I tell them I just use it for messaging.

Because you're not my friend.

Done.
 
I'm in the same situation. Some people have a separate facebook account for work but I'm not going to do that. Shareing Linkedin is probably the better way to do it. Keep work professional.

I don't put anything on Facebook that I care if anyone sees or not.

I don't. I would counter their facebook invite with a linkedin invite.

Great idea.

I don't really update mine either and only login one or two times a week. Do need it to watch UFC Prelims though !

only if we hang out semi-regularly outside of work, and if I can foresee hanging out with them if one of us were to leave.
e.g., they get friended when they become a friend.
 
I don't mind adding co-workers on my facebook. Especially my current job. It's such a small department that invariably everything gets shared anyways. Plus there is a big emphasis on teamwork/friendship so it's not a big deal to me.

Hell even my boss sends me text messages for OT and such. But I think with being an ER nurse it's a little different. You interact with your co-workers on a different level then in an office.
 
My policy is that facebook is for family and friends. Am I glad too, last year quite a few people in my job were getting called to HR because other people got all butthurt about comments they made there. No thank you.
 
I don't really use Facebook much but I would never "friend" anyone from work. If any people from work ask why, I tell them the truth. If I add one person from work and not someone else from work that can lead to an awkward situation. To avoid that, nobody from work will get added.

Since it sounds like you have already friended some of your coworkers, you are pretty much screwed. 😉
