Yes will accept his friendship
And if he acted improperly or spokeon topicsof work will give him aban
You can either ignore the request and if he brings up the subject you can say that mixing private life with work is not always a good thing or accept the request and put him in a group that has limited access to your activity on facebook.
I would have hesitated a bit a couple of years ago, while eventually going for it. Why not? I would have said. And I have done it before indeed, accepting the invitation of my kind former manager back then, who wanted to introduce me to the back-end hidden world of social media marketing and monetization concepts. As soon as this purpose was satisfied, I actually removed him. I told him the next day, and he didn’t seem to mind at all. On the contrary, he made a mellow remark out of it, attributing my removal of him as probably a "youthful privacy matter". This was7 years ago.
Now, I would think twice, or even three times, before accepting such an invitation. I will be clear about it and refuse gently, especially on Facebook, unless we were becoming friends or have become friends (preferably after having no work-relation anymore). There is always an exception to this rule, when obviously dealing with someone who truly respects privacy.
Dear Eng. Bader,
To be honest , I'll accept his request only in case he is friendly person otherwise I'll just neglect as i like to live my life free.
thanks,
Hey Badar, please bro, do not attach office with Facebook.
Adding boss on facebook, will for sure, make your face sad instead of smile. Friends are friends and boss is boss, we should always keep in this mind.
I will accept him or her. I have no qualms about having my boss among my list of friends.
Thanks for invitation Bader,
Mainly this is a neuromarketing question where you integrate items like Boss (respect), Facebook (plaisir & spare-time), Friendship (share of personal information).
In this case you need to deal with the Respect you have to your boss, the Plaisir and Spare-time activities that you publish in Facebook as the One-Place-Point where your digital life is being shown and the Personal information you're sharing with your friends.
But at same time... in2nd reading, the question gets deeper as your message brings us to think twice on "What is the usage that you're doing of Facebook ?" and... in this case... "is the usage proper?"
Note that at the end of the day... whatever you publish in Facebook or in Social Networks, becomes publically available worldwide... not only to your current boss; also to your prospect new boss or the prospect HR professional that would do a research on you to certify you're a "valid profile" for the position they need to cover.
In this line, it means that whatever that you publish, write, or post... can always be accessed by a3rd person that you don't know but that can judge you... Suppose you obviously agree you cannot certify which are the "readings" or the "usages" that this3rd person can extract from your publication.
As fast example:
Now... you step back, look at this picture as a Boss, a HR Manager or whoever...
Depending on your role and position, it would be recommended that you accept him (just for courtesy) and within few days you close your Facebook account... so it all ends in an answer like "I don't use this network so much, so prefer to keep my life in privacy".
Sincerely recommend a Minded usage of what you publish in all Social Networks... not because of your boss... it's just because you don't need to explain it all to the world...
Best regards,
Marc
NO HARM IN IT, BUT HE WILL KNOW ALL YOUR THOUGHTS BY LIKES, SHARES ETC. SO WISE IS TO BE CAREFULL.
I am sorry......
Left facebook a long time ago...
But my answer will be restricted access :P
If your Boss is not the so bossy kind you can add him on fb and you'll both benefit from his and ur social profiles and you'll be more familiar with his charcter,likes and dislikes...etc....but if he's too bossy or really the "hard to please " kind,add him to the limited profile and you'll both be satisfied!!
