Well this is so mature

NutritionWhore · Guru

My 22 friends on Facebook are all happy with each other.

Blargh, who am I kidding. I only talk to like two or three of them on a regular basis. The rest of them are hundreds of miles away, living their own world.

Turd Ferguson · Guru

My first inclination is to scream "Are y'all 12? Is this Junior High?"

Ok.. I won't say that. It's not nice.

I would say for the most part, work and social media don't mix. I have a few FB friends that I know from my old store, or former co-workers from my current one.

A bunch of people from my current store/dept. are connected on Facebook, and it's tempting to join in with them... as I'm actually fond of my dept head, and asst dept head. We're cool with each other, and I like them, but I think it's a professional courtesy and a CYA type thing to keep a certain distance. Heck, my asst dept head lives across the street from me.

Sorry for your feeling of rejection in this matter. I'm sure they had their reasons.

Don't do it.

There are some aspects of your co-workers that you do NOT want to know about.

It's why I never "add" any friends from work. EVER. Once I leave, sure, I'll add one or two, but never during my tenure.

Turd Ferguson · Guru

Heh... I'm more concerned about my own privacy, to be honest.

BagBoy · Guru

I left Facebook all together because of a problem with Facebook and work.

That comes down to how much stuff about yourself you end up posting.

Shoot, as soon as I leave I'm going unfriend crazy. I don't do it now because it would cause all kinds of headaches at work like mentioned earlier.

I had a co-worker who unfriended another co-worker and I not realizing we would figure it out (she was mad at us for some reason I can't remember) and I just teased her about it. When ever someone did something that might miff her off I would say "Watch out, she might unfriend you on Facebook." We are now actually real friends as well as Facebook friends (refriended).

I have bosses on restriction so they can only see posts I make public but man I sure did friend a lot of co-workers that I later wished I hadn't.

Never become facebook friends with your co-workers... There's just such a surplus of dumbasses in this world that gossip, harassment, or stalking will likely result from being facebook friends with your co-workers. :/ oh and let's not forget that it's against Kroger policy to badmouth the company online. So a steam blowing session could be potential blackmail if you're not careful.

That's why I come here. smile

I only have one person on my fb from my store, and she's no longer in my department. When I did it, I literally said that she's the only one I'd add because we have a lot in common despite the age differences, and because she's in another department, so I won't feel blackmailed otherwise.

Maybe when I leave then I'll add a couple of them, because some are awesome, but not now.

In the final bout of maturity, she posted this on facebook:

So in other words, she's admitting that she's always hated us and has had to "tolerate" us for this long.

I'm tired of this ****. If I had any other store to transfer to, i'd be so out of there.

I would say talk to your store manager but I know who she is and she couldn't run a speedway. She's just a quota fill. Get out of that store while you can before things get worse.

^Again, why I avoid social networking with coworkers.

Also, I tend to skip over anything that's not a legitimate picture of the person who's posting it.

My store manager seems nice enough but she knows of the situation, told us she'd talk to her and that's what actually started this. This is the retaliation for talking to management.

I can't exactly transfer to another store when the next closest one is 30 miles away.

I want to know why can't women simply do their jobs and leave out all the unnecessary drama? One of you is always having a crisis over what someone said about so and so. Just shut up and do your job.

FrontEnd Trooper · Guru

I want to know why for some people, workplace drama is a gender issue all of a sudden. Are you just blind and ignorant of how men behave, or is it just that you have some sort of quota of saying stupid delusional sexist bull**** to fill?

I'm having a problem with a female in my Dept. She's knows as the nose and the spoon. She likes to get her nose in everything and stir the pot all damn day.

So how many guys do you of at work who get themselves all in a tizzy over who unfriended whom on Facebook?

Good. At least she knows that she belongs in the kitchen.

But that's the point.

This all started BECAUSE we were tired of her double standards of us never meeting her expectations while she did diddly-squat. She'd always be upstairs talking with her BFF, the HR person, or talking on her damn phone. So it was ok for her to criticize us, but the moment she catches any of it, this immature BS happens. This might be easier to deal with in a department like drug gm or grocery, but in the bakery you can't avoid people.

EDIT: MY POINT ISN'T REALLY ABOUT FACEBOOK. MY POINT IS ABOUT RETALIATION WHEN GOING TO A MANAGER ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS. Facebook just shows how petty she is, lol

But, see, if there has never been any facebook deleting and whatnot, no one would've known, God's in his heaven, all's right with the world.

Yet.... no...

If you were a girl, I'd totally hit on you now.

If I were a girl (but not a whore), I'd throw myself to you.

I do it all the time. They know they are a scumbag company. And I REGULARLY bad mouth the company to my managers. All those ****ers need to do is leave me alone and let me put their **** on the shelf. As I said in another post, I am not going anywhere anytime soon. They can act like they are untouchable and badass, and I'll just remind them that they are not.

Cathy · Guru

Maybe you are better off not being friends with your manager on Facebook. No way, would I ever friend any kind of higher up personnel at my store, no matter how much I liked them. I like the freedom of being able to come to this forum and knowing no one will follow.

FrontEndSlave · Guru

I would sooner friend my mother than my manager.
Then again I would sooner skinny dip in lava than friend my manager.
I hate that woman.
