Too much facebook

Published

We have this nurse at work. We'll call them "C". C posts inappropriate things on facebook. Nothing to violate privacy laws, but enough to be unprofessional. Openly taking down about the facility, staff and management. Management is aware and asks C to delete the posts. We all signed a social media policy, but it isn't enforced. I am embarrassed to work with C. Co-workers have tried to talk to C and explain that their actions are less than appropriate. Thoughts?

Management is aware. Let them deal with it. You are not privy to what is happening behind the scenes- it is quite possible that management is creating the paper trail necessary to deal with the issue. Also, if it is not happening during work time, then it really isn't your issue. Just another reason not to be friends with coworkers.

It'll catch up to him/her. Not your circus, not your monkey. Unfriend if not already done to keep yourself from being tagged and all of that. If you're not his/her supervisor, not much you can do.

How does this affect/involve you?

In addition to unfriending, I'd suggest blocking her. Like Penelope said, not your circus, not your monkey. It's not like there's nothing else making us nuts, these days. Try to limit the irritants! Suggest your co-workers do likewise, if they bring this issue up.

Then report it to the supervisor and go on about your own job.

It is happening during work time.

In other words, it doesn't affect you.

Report to your manager, get over it, and move on with your life. :) You'll be much happier if you don't hold on to things like this.

As others have said, you need to let this go. Management is aware and they are either letting her slide, or building a case against her; either way, it's out of your control.

Do not let this consume any more of your time.

Best wishes.

The Only Problem I have with Facebook is now I can no longer post pictures of myself Skinny Dippin' in my small bathtub here in the heart of Metropolis since they befriended me "vicey-versee " I to them on Facebook. (Fellow Workers)

The only solution to that I think is they just need to see me in person skinny dippin'.

What do you girls and guys think?

Should I tell them no cellphones when they come over to my apartment?

Should I be concerned or am I just too "paranoid"?

I really don't want to be an internet sensation...yah know! :woot:
