Personal space: 81% people don't want to add their bosses on Facebook - Daily News & Analysis

At least 81% people believe that there is one person you should never be friends with on Facebook - your boss. According to a survey of 722 people conducted by survey site SodaHead and anonymous feedback site YouTell, 81% say you should not be Facebook friends with your boss. Slightly more men than women said it was OK to friend your boss, and those age 25 to 34 (college-age kids when Facebook first appeared on campuses) were the most comfortable with the practise. People generally like to keep a professional distance at work, and when your boss and coworkers can see every photo taken of you in the past 5 years, things feel a lot more personal. In a parallel survey that asked whether or not you should be Facebook friends with your co-workers, 55% said yes and 45% said no. Employees probably don't want bosses to see embarrassing information about them, and don't want to have to censor Facebook photos from their wild college days. The main fear in people is that the boss can access their Facebook profile to know their past history, current whereabouts, likes, dislikes, taste in music and acquaintances. Also, an active user might get caught while lying to evade work. People have been fired for Facebook posts: * In 2009, a Swiss woman was fired from her insurance job because she had told her boss that she couldn't work at her computer and needed to lie down in the dark. * In 2010, a woman was fired from her waitressing job after complaining about a pair of customers on her Facebook page. via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNGOIFhXLiwRsRHXb-o1cAhqRG1lLg&url=http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/1824440/report-personal-space-81pct-people-don-t-want-to-add-their-bosses-on-facebook
