Should you give your BOSS Access to your Facebook page? How about making yourself INVISIBLE on FB to your boss?

Ummmm oh yeah... NOT!

Facebook is new in a sense that employers haven't had a chance to adjust and add policy and procedure for handling Social Media; However, I don't believe that people allowing others total access to their Facebook or other social media pages to be the answer.

Some companies have not addressed their policy and procedures for quite a few years and depending on the company some may not have changed things since the introduction of email. So first I think companies should address and add Social Media Policies that make sense (seriously) to the policy and procedures of the company.

While companies are doing that, I think as individuals we have to look at how we interact with social media and be aware of the information that we put online.

Finally...you can can take steps that will put your profile in stealth mode so YOUR BOSS WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO FIND YOU on Facebook. I'd opt for this option.

Read my eBook posted on SlideShare, it will guide you through customizing your Privacy setting so that you can be in stealth mode among other things.

A challenge to this started last January; the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the Maryland’s Public Safety Secretary Gary Maynard, on behalf of corrections officer Robert Collins. During a re-certification interview, he was required to share his Facebook login ID and password, and had to sit there while his supervisor skimmed through his page. Read more at www.allfacebook.com
