Is it ok to friend request my coworkers on Facebook?

Post Reply New Topic

I started a new job earlier this wee and seem to be getting along pretty well with everyone. They're all pretty friendly. Alot of them are friends with each other on Facebook and I was wondering if it is appropriate to friend request them. If it is too soon, when would be an ok time to do that?

Don't see a problem with friend requests of your co-workers, as many workplaces share social networking amongst co-workers. Just be very careful what you post because it will all go back to your workplace including any negative posts you post about your employer.

it would be fine as long as they like you.

I wouldn't do this. Office politics can turn ugly quickly, and your "work friends" can use something personal they found about you on Facebook to their advantage.
