Is FaceBook a waste of time?

... it also causes trouble.

Don't add ex-girlfriends...

Or any fellow employees, and for damn sure not your boss.

One of my friends wouldn't even add his wife, so she complained then he took his page down.

Facebook is amazing, takes a little while to learn how to navigate and use the different features but once you get the hang of it, it becomes an amazing bit of kit.

Tips:
Leave your status the f**k alone unless you have something important/funny/interesting to say (don't inform people that you just had a lovely shower followed by a relieving scratch).
Don't spend hours looking at other people's profiles (facebook stalking) unless maybe they've just come back from their holidays and you're checking out their holiday pics... or something like that.
If you find yourself giving too much consideration for your facebook profile picture (either changing it every other day or taking pictures on your mobile specifically for your profile photo... like a little bitch) then slap yourself round the face really f**king hard!

Constant status updates can be well annoying, i did for a day or two and got bored of reading them myself. checking peoples profiles is good for passing time if youget bored. Definately slap yourself if you are taking pictures specifically for facebook ( i slapped myself once so far)

What's the deal with work friends though?

It's always risky adding work friends. You've only known them for the time you've worked there. They could be backstabbing ****.

Also, if you call in for a sick day and you ain't really sick, then maybe forget and post something on facebook about being out and about and they see it, and snitch on you.

Good points. But I work in the most unprofessional place EVER.

Work related shit:
We're supposed to get paid weekly but I didn't get paid until my 6th week due to a half-arsed manager thinking that handing my details on to head office was not a priority (recently moved house and was approaching my girlfriend's 30th!!!)
They lost my bank details twice.
They lost my contact number 9 times.
They change shift times without informing you.
I went a month and a half without being given any shifts due to them "not remembering" my availability (I've given it to them 6 times).
The rotas go up either late on a Saturday or during Sunday... not good if you're working early on Monday!

Non work related:
Every sleeps with eachother.
Relationships between bosses and regular, part-time, student staff (there's an age difference of 10 years in two of the current "relationships").
One (male) member of staff has threatened to kill two other (female) members of staff... one is a manager! The guy still works there!

... great place to work!


I could probably add my boss, pull a sickie, got for a big day out, then post the pictures on his wall!

My place is full of 'em. Nothing but rumours and gossip!

More like when you get the hang of it they change the whole navigational set-up!!!

I was going to laugh and say, this is just like a TV show!

then i remember my 2 years working in a call center and it's was exactly the same, actually worse than what you described!!

[elkanofan]

Only thing i like about Facebook is that you can talking to mates for free.

thats it!

[Zedie]

The only reason why I like facebook is because my wife spends alot of time on it, which means less time bitching at me.

Post of the month.

This is the Gospel!

Mrs ChVint wont be happy if she sees that!

[Zedie]
