How would you react to this?

“My boss at work asked me if I would accept him as a ‘friend’ on Facebook. I did not want to do that since I want to keep my private life separate from my work. But then I felt I could not refuse him since he is my boss. And now I feel embarrassed that he is reading the things that I put on Facebook but that I would otherwise never tell him. I feel uncomfortable that he can see pictures of me in my bathing suit that I had uploaded after my holiday in Mexico.”

"For the past few years I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations conducted over Twitter, Facebook, e-mail and occasionally on the phone with women I have met online."

Facebook & Your Job

Once you get a job, you must be careful. Personal Facebook postings can affect your employers reputation and your career.

  "I’m watching the news, eating dinner when the story about New York okaying same-sex unions came on and I almost threw up. And now they showed two guys kissing after their announcement. If they want to call it a union, go ahead. But don’t insult a man and woman’s marriage by throwing it in the same cesspool of whatever. God will not be mocked. When did this sin become acceptable."                                   - Dora, Florida Public School Teacher "I feel like a "warden for future criminals"                                  - Patterson, NJ 1st-Grade Teacher

"I am teaching in the most ghetto school in Charlotte."                                  - Thomasboro Elementary School Teacher
