Mix between social media and the workplace

Postby CJ » Fri Oct 09, 2009 2:36 pm

Worth a read, the Facebook comment says it all. Its worth considering some of the points if you're currently looking for a job.(In the US, 55% of emploers use social networking sites to check on job candidates, now would be a good time to clean up your Facebook profile!)

Are they allowed to take the social aspect into account when hiring? Isnt there a line between work related and social activities?
I havent or wont give out my facebook page at work, aprt from to the other manager, maybe when I leave there I'll give it to them, but the way I see it, I dont want people I'm managing to see what I do on weekends, or see comments I make, or comments others make to me, or my mafia wars page or stuff like that.
On anything like that I'd never make a comment about work or about other people, not on the public part of it anyway, but I have seen comments coming up from other people which are a bit dodgy.

It's all good if you know who your friends are and your page is private.

I know a past landlord (and now friend :)) looked me up and was impressed, then again I wouldn't have anything to hide (except the odd lesbian type photo) but he liked that sort of thing :lol:

Oh dear...

Love that only some of the names are scribbled out,.,.if somebody wanted to find her surely it'd just be a matter of looking at the visible names..

I'm sure she's figured out how to change her name, but then again, she's pretty thick... :roll:

Apparently, from looking online, it was a bit of an evil campaign against devout christians on facebook done by a crowd called 4chan. More here;

Some are pretty vile.
