Do You Have Coworkers On Your Friends List On Facebook? There is a co-worker of mine who has asked me several times to add her to my friends list. The last time she asked me, I kind of explained it away by saying, "I keep forgetting". I don't know if there is a way to tell someone that you don't want to add them to your friends list without hurting their feelings.
I don't add co-workers simply because I post some stuff on my Facebook page that I don't want them to know about. Shoot, I don't even have family members on my Facebook page for the exact same reason. It would just be my luck to post something on my Facebook page, a co-worker reading it, then telling other co-workers about it. Nope, it's not going to happen. What I post on my Facebook page is something I don't care to have co-workers to have access to. To me, it's none of their damn business anyway.
What's your opinion on this? Do you have co-workers on your Facebook friends list? RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I have one co-worker as a friend but we really are friends. In Your case, I would simply explain that you don't add co-workers. | |

I have friended most of my co-workers. For the most part it's okay, but there are times that I really would love to rant about work and cannot. Same with family though. I save all that for here. Lucky .org! No one in my family and none of my co-workers come here.

Yes, I have a few, including folks I've worked with at previous jobs. We've stayed in touch over the years. | |

I'm on the fence because I've gotten requests from some of my cooler co-workers but they really don't need to see the shit I'm posting... A working class Hero is something to be ~ Lennon |

I have friended a VERY select one or two coworkers with whom I occasionally hang out socially. I am strict on what content I allow them to access, however. And for all other professional contacts, I keep to a "no Facebook friend" rule, and I explain that to whomever asks. [Edited 7/13/13 18:25pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I only had ex coworkers and not even that many when I use to have it. If I ever add any I'm working with, I would put them on an alternate account barely used [Edited 7/13/13 17:10pm] | |

Nope - not one. I have made it clear to everyone I work with that I don't friend co-workers - that's what LinkedIn is for. To be my friend on Facebook, people have to leave the company. No exceptions. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I have 2 accounts, one for relatives, friends of my parents(!) acquaintances and work contacts that I don't really post on, plus my org one which is a more anonymous/false name anything goes type thing. I'm the mistake you wanna make | |

I ask this out of complete ignorance: Isn't it possible to arrange your Facebook friends in various groups, with control over what they have access to? Or is that a big headache? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

It's just easier this way for me NOT to make a massive error when drunkenly facebooking on a Friday or Saturday night ![]() I'm the mistake you wanna make | |

I have a few (former) colleagues on FB. I consider them friends and one of them actually is one of my best friends. Also family, a slew of Orgers and friends.
I don't really care that everyone can see what I'm posting. I never post 'personal' stuff anyway.
My FB is pretty boring; it's either news articles that I've read and consider repost-worthy or pictures when travelling. | |

I have a few coworkers on my facebook page, folks I get along with at work or have shared interests outside of work. I won't add bosses or anyone I may want to work for someday and I don't add anyone I don't want to. I'm not afraid to tell folks that I don't generally add people I work with or whatever. |

having casual sex with a supervisor/boss/co-worker is one thing...
but adding a co-worker on Facebook's "friends" (ha!) list is a GROSS MISTAKE for so many reasons [Edited 7/14/13 11:21am] ![]() | |

I see my co-workers for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and I'm forced into listening to all of their nonsense and foolishness that I really don't care to hear about. Why on earth would I add them to my facebook friends list? I don't need to hear about their drama AND read about it. So, yeah, just tell them you don't add co-workers to your facebook page. Most of them probably just want to pry so they can gossip about you. I hear it all the time. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I had 2 on there that I considered friends. Current co workers are a NO. I have some from where I worked before, but if they get froggy I will unfriend a muthphuka in a minute. My explaination when asked to be friends on facebook with co workers or other associates is "You wouldn't like who I am on facebook."

I started off with EVERYBODY from work on there.. the only thing I really didin't like was ppl bringing up what I said on FB at wrk. Even if it was just me talking about food. I didn't like the fact that ppl were paying attn to me .. sounds strange but I really didn't like that She Don't Speak..But She Remembers | |

When I first joined Facebook I added some co-workers. (They were the ones who convinced me to join.) I quit about a month after that and since then I will only add you if we're no longer working at the same place. I just say my rule is that I'm not FB friends with co-workers; most people understand that.
At my current job a lot of people are FB friends with one another, follow each other on Instagram and "like" the company FB page. I liked the company FB page, but I never post comments. The most I'll do is "like" something they post. They are also big on taking photos at work events (e.g. exhibition openings) but I told the PR department I didn't feel comfortable having my photo taken and posted online. They don't bother me about it. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I have quite a few people from my old job. I only have one from my current job because most of my co-workers have huge sticks up their asses. Shake it til ya make it ![]() | |

I don't have Facebook.
But if I did have one for personal contacts, I would just simply explain that I don't add work contacts to keep the unwanted at bay. You just have to be firm (but polite) and say, "sorry, but no". | |
