Posts: 35085 (11/10/2009 7:34 PM) Biggest Scandal '09 Reply Quote More Recent Posts	One of my coworkers (who is also training to be manager) added me on facebook and I denied her. I don't want those nosy bitches up on my statuses or page, period. I know she's going to ask me one of these days for sure, so what do I say? Do I play dumb and pretend that I never received a request, or keep it real that I just don't want so many coworkers as a friend? It's nothing personal, I just don't want her there!

If you set it up right, they won't be able to see your statuses, pics of you, anything beyond basic information. And you can "hide" them so you don't have to see their bullshit, either. Or, you can just be honest and say "I prefer to keep my Facebook page for my family and close friends. I'm sure you understand. Feel free to email me through work anytime, though!"

I would put coworkers in limited profile but then when you do that it's kind of obvious because they don't get your status updates or anything. I wish there was a way of making individual status updates exclusive for certain groups. It's not life or death serious but I do find that I edit my update content and when I post something based on the fact I know certain people (ie: coworkers) will be reading it.

If they dont' get your status updates why wouldn't they just assume you didn't post anything? More than half of my friends never post anything. I don't assume they have me on a limited profile just assume they aren't obsessed with facebook
