Just saying - beware what you say and what you do.
I must be really out of the loop. I thought something like this would be illegal. Guess not..............
My son works at a local fast food place and an employee got fired due to something he posted on his Facebook status. He came home from work one night and "vented" about his day - seems he forgot that everyone he worked with including the managers and his boss were his Facebook friends.
I have some adult friends who have their bosses on their FB as their friends....gotta say I think I'd draw the line at that - I'd not have my boss as a FB friend. But that's just me.
I told my daughter it would be like emailing one friend on my yahoo account and everyone on my contact list gets to see what I write. Went to my neighbors house today and she asked if I had FB. Again, the shock that I don't and then trying to convince me to get one. This is the story of my life. LOL
