Facebook & MySpace

Do you have Facebook and/or MySpace? If so, does the family you work for know you’re on a social website? How would you feel if you knew they were looking you up online? Do you have anything on there you wouldn’t want them seeing? I think more often than not, employers are looking up their potential and current employees online. Mine found me on Facebook and she wanted to add me as a friend. Yeah, I don’t think so! I think there should be boundaries and that is definitely one. It's not that I have anything to hide, but my Facebook has my personal thoughts, pictures and friends on it. Why would I want my boss to be a part of that? What about you? Would you or do you have your employer on your friends list? If you have added your boss to your Facebook or MySpace, has it turned out to be a positive or negative experience? If you have denied your boss' friend request, did your relationship change as a result?
