Why your boss shouldn’t be your Facebook friend

I’ve always believed you shouldn’t say anything on the net that you wouldn’t like to be seen next to your photo on the six o’clock news.

Well you also shouldn’t put anything on your Facebook profile your boss might read. This is a message between a manager and an ISP tech staffer in Sydney last week.

Hi Kyle,

Please provide a medical certificate stating a valid reason for your sick leave on Thursday 21st 2008.

 Boss,

1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.

Thanks

 Hi Kyle,

Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion.

 Hi Boss,

My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager’s discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.

Thanks

Kyle
