Dear Mariann, An issue for you. I work in an open plan office and so it is easy to see what others are doing on their computers. We Facebook a lot (boring job selling advertising space but we are in the media). I’ve noticed that one colleague spends a lot of time writing what I [...]
Dear Mariann, OMG I have been told off for posting that my supervisor is fat. This is true and she is known as ‘fat sue’. We all work in a small events company and have just been involved in a slimming festival. So my post was just joking about and Sue would not mind as [...]
Dear Mariann, Bit of an ad for a app called Last Night Never Happened- The app will goes back – up to 48 hours and will clears out any photos, tweets, or Facebook posts you need to delete – optionally replacing them with a much nicer message. From Last Night Never Happened, in reply to [...]
Dear Mariann, My brother got tickets from his work to go to the races and so I took a sickie and went to Cheltenham races yesterday. Just had a look at Facebook and he has tagged me in some photos. My manger is a friend and I am worried that she will see them and [...]
Different kind of post this time. I got a call this week from a friend. Let’s call him Henry; ‘Look M. I’ve been dumped not only ON Facebook, but by Facebook’, and then, ‘there’s nobody I’d rather be than her, we’re still ‘in a relationship’ and I don’t want to be single again. I sent [...]
Dear Mariann, Writing from a late night at the office, how would you deal with a hysterical co-worker? She’s constantly on Facebook, always running off into the ladies to sob hysterically, then returns to her screen and wails more. We might be friends on Facebook, but I don’t really know her, so I feel like [...]
Dear Mariann, I’m writing as a disgruntled employee who unquestioningly has the worse boss in the history of employer fat cat rule. On Friday, our coffee morning was sabotaged with a Facebook message informing us that office gossip and talk of holidays and babies was ‘forbidden’ on work time. Disgusting! What else are we supposed [...]
Dear Mariann, Is there a rule about being away from Facebook? I have a thesis to write and I want to post up ‘I am writing so will not be looking at Facebook until June’. I don’t want to be rude but anyone that matters has my email and I will look at that. I [...]
Dear Mariann I emailed my manager via facebook while I was on sick leave and convalescing abroad. She mentioned it to her boss who asked her to show them the email and my facebook entries. I’m worried that there are things on facebook that are embarrassing for my manager to know. What should I do? [...]
Dear Mariann What is the etiquette about Facebook Places? I’m worried that the ability to see who is “Here Now” means that strangers could immediately put a name to a face, and come over to me or send a message that I might not welcome. Then by checking in, I’m telling people where I’m not [...]
