Exit
eWISE
I don’t Facebook friend people from work because I frequently bitch about my job to my
select group of friends. But when
higher-ups send you a friend request, what do you do? I think it’s
creepy, but how do you decline
politely? (Besides not having any
interest in their personal lives,
I find it weird that they want to
know about mine.) —WTF, N.J.
Q
Unless the prospect of your
coworkers simply showing
up in your friend list is troubling,
you can be friends without ever
being reminded of the person’s existence. Next time a photo of the
person’s breakfast sandwich appears in your newsfeed, click the
arrow to the right of his name and
select “unsubscribe.”
If you haven’t created a limited profile yet, it’s a good idea
to have one of these — not just
for coworkers but for the friends
of exes, weird cousins and people you last saw in high school.
Do you really want these people
scrolling through photos of your
children before they go to bed?
You can also just leave the friend
request in purgatory and hope they
forget about it, but in the scheme
of keeping the peace with coworkers, accepting a friend request is pretty painless.
