Is It Ideal To Relate With Your Boss On The Social Media? by charleff512(m): 9:57pm On Jul 21, 2015
I work in a parastatal and going by the organizational structure I have a lot of superiors.

When it comes to social media, I believe I have a right to who I should choose and relate with as friends.

But there's this top officer that came to challenge me in my unit that I refuse to accept her friend request.

I was forced to do so. My question is, is it ideal to relate with one's boss on the social media?

It's wrong...it should be kept formal unless you finally become friends or at a point it became necessary to share info with you. personally, I don't like it. But hey...each to his own

Wrong Idea.

Keep your social media life separate from your Official issues.

Nobody tell me when i delete my Team lead and colleagues from my BBM and Social media platforms.

You'll resume on monday and hear stuff like, "You don't look good, from the pictures on your fb or from your dp, it must have been an interesting night or weekend"

Yeah altho it depends on the nature of the job tho.

Like if you're in the ICT Industry, you can keep up with your boss via various social media channels and vice-versa. Especially when you guys are into Internet and brand marketing and the likes.

But you can't be on an offshore rig, and you holla at your boss and say 'Oga Maduka you won't believe what I'm seeing. I just saw a big whale while you're supposed to be concentrated on your subsea welding.
You will just come back to meet your sack letter

What's wrong with you relating with them? Are you an anti-social guy?

Well personally I don't like it... I am a bit of a weird person though and I don't think there is another like me in this world so I can't tell you not to. But I think you should accept them and engage in conversations becos this could in the long run be give a bit more job security than if you aren't involved. Even if you aren't comfortable with it, you should go ahead with it, sometimes you just have to do these things. Even if you don't like it.

Its ur own prerogative to choose who u think u should. He never threatened you to accept him he just asked u to,......count your self lucky that one of ur bosses in bur office is begging u to accept his friendship request. Thats to say he or she likes you as a friend.

See me see trouble ooh. The Lady in question probably wants to be monitoring your activities on the social media.

If I were in your shoes, I will just smile and move on. I choose who are my friends on social media and not the other way round.
