MIS
I HATE, HATE, HATE this idea. I do not mix my work life and my Facebook life. I have no desire to mix them. And I keep them separate for obvious reasons. Employers only need to know that I do my job. They do not need to know that I went to a play tonight. They do not need to know that I am going to a comedy show tomorrow night. They do not need to know who got birthday wishes from me and who did not. Bottom line, anything your employer knows about you can and will be used against you.
I do not talk about religion or politics in my workplace. I do talk about those things on Facebook. My employer does not need to know what I say and do not say about these things.
I do not friend my current co-workers on Facebook. I have friended past co-workers. I do not mention any employers on Facebook and have no desire to do so. I do not show my Facebook to my current co-workers. I have even blocked some of my co-workers because I do not want them to find me.
If this happens (and I suspect Zuckerbeg will do it because he loves to annoy people), what are you going to do? I may end up creating a professional Facebook profile and keep the two profiles totally separate. I sincerely hope that everyone on Facebook will revolt against this.
Let's get the revolt started now. Facebook is not a jobs site. I do not treat it as one. I do not want it to become one.
