I am so sick of negative Facebook messages about my job. They come to my personal account and usually come on the weekends.

I used to handle them just like a normal email, but I'm so sick of it. Is it okay to be professional, but not so nice? I usually just roll over and say "I'll do better next time, thanks for your concern." The one I just sent was a little bit "well, here is the real story. I'm not a mind reader, and if its an issue, we can do it this way (which I know is an undesirable option)."

What would you guys do?

What do you do?

Who is sending you FB messages? Are you FB friends with these people? Lock up your account so people you aren't friends with can't send you messages.

If someone has an issue with your work, they can email your work email address. Fuckers.

I would reply with a quick, "please direct any work related concerns to my email at blahblahblah." Word it professionally but be firm.

I have no patience for work business leaking its way into my personal business.

[hubes]

Yeah, I am friends with these people. I want to do a clean sweep, but I am afraid of the fall out while I am still working there.

I sent a message back. I was very blunt for the last two.

[hubes]

I tried to shut my messages off, but Facebook wouldn't let me.

SMACE, I should, but I am pissed I have to give up my primary mode of communication for these assholes.

sort them into groups Hoobs

Assholes in one group. they don't get to post on your wall or see anything
Friends in another group.

I'll monitor to see where I end up.

"My bosses/Suesue's "THEY" have said that we need to keep our work and personal lives separate starting with fb. Sorry! Here's how you can contact me during the hrs of abc using work phone/email/office hrs." Walla,

Add me to quesera's group. I'm a professor and don't get as much grief (usually!)

[gretchenindisguise]

No work colleagues on FB. It's my standard practice. You only get on my FB if we hang out outside of work.

Don't those idiots have regualr email? I would be angry if I had to read bullshit from work in my FB inbox. Hell no!

Just tell them to direct all work related concerns and inquiries to your work email.

[bab]

it is EXTREMELY passive aggressive to be FBing that shit on the weekend. OMG

[hubes]

I single handedly plan an event for over 12,000 people. My elected board of directors has one member who gives a shit. I am expected to be on call 24 hours a day, but my contract is for 12 hours a week. The program assistant in the office I work out of is neurotic and doesn't understand simple instructions.

Oh, and the people are entitled and insane.

[hubes]

Oh Yes. I am done in January. I am presenting my resignation in September, laying the framework for next year and leaving after the annual convention.

[ginger]

WTF. This is ridiculous. Unfriend these people and deal with them at work.
