I try to keep my social life and my work life as far away as
possible. Nowadays, I am friends with only a small amount of coworkers. Before
I was always Facebook friends with everyone I worked with but I’ve come to
learn that that’s not necessarily a good thing. I think it’s important to have boundaries
and not let just anyone into my life, even if it’s “just” Facebook. To me, work is work. It’s not a time to frolic
on Facebook, Twitter, or any other form of social media. It’s distracting and
can lead to workspace drama.
BUT…
I can understand how social media, such as Twitter, can help
promote certain awareness about a company. In today’s world, social media is
almost crucial. If a company allows its employees to use social media, I think companies need to be proactive and set some sort of guidelines
as to what is okay to post about and what isn’t.
