To friend or not to friend

I have a personal policy that I do not friend anyone in Facebook with whom I currently work no matter if we are on the same level or not and no matter how good "work friends" we are. For me, it's easier to keep your work and personal lives separate. I do however have a business page they can "like ".

In my current office setting, I realize that my supervisor and co-worker have been working together a long time and they probably "friended" each other long before one became supervisor but when I have to listen to things like "I could tell how drunk you were from the pictures on Facebook " I just feel like it's unprofessional on too many levels to list.

I'm curious, have any companies out there initiated any policies that address this? What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Social media.

Hello, Everyone I have over 15 years in retail and was recently terminated from my job. When I attend career workshops, I'm being told that recruiters and h.r. managers are more likely to look at your resume if you have a LinkedIn or Facebook profile. I chose to have neither. Is this hurting my chances to obtain employment??

Trying to find some creative people who enjoy social media, are positive about working for a commission and enjoy working with senior. I've found a great service to market to seniors and their families that pays very well. I'm testing the water here at Jobcase.

Interested? Respond and let's talk.

I'm getting Facebook friend request from co-workers at my new job... not sure if I want to accept!

I started a new job last week that I'm still not sure if it's a good fit for me yet. I've been receiving facebook friend request from some people in the department but I'm hesitant to accept in case I decide to quit this month. I think it's too soon to buddy up with anybody and I'm feeling pressured to respond.

Give me the top 3 reasons you think social media can benefit your job search?

I fail to understand how i can use twitter, facebook, and others social media websites to help me find a job. I think they benefit employers more than job seekers.
