Facebook group?

[downforit2008]

When I read this thread, I also just joined the Facebook group and got accepted immediately! How good to be able to rant on Facebook as well with a group that understands.

Don't let me ruin your fun, but I think this group is a very bad idea - what do you suppose a potential or current employer would think of it when they look you up on FB?

My profile is private. I don't think you can even see my picture before I friend you.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're a member of the facebook group, they can't see your actual profile if you have set it to private, unless you have a profile pic of yourself. They can still see that.

I am also private so my employer would not be able to find me but that is moot because my boss is also on my facebook friends list. I just don't post nasty stuff. I also don't talk crap about my job or complain on facebook that is why I come here if I have a complaint...LOL Any future employer would not be able to see anything.

Not too worried about it either. I don't go by my given name on FB. You have to already be listed as my friend in order to see the groups I'm associated with.

But, this thread did get me to go check out some of the group listings I'd forgotten I'd joined. Found an old post from a college friend that I hadn't spoken to in years.

It depends on your settings. If you have it set so people can search for you, your profile pic will display. The only way to avoid this is to set it so people can't search you.

I'm buried on there somewhere, so...if anyone wants to be friends, PM me.

There is another group on Facebook, called something like 'I have worked in retail and therefore have lost all faith in humanity'

[Ree]

There are actually a lot of Facebook groups that are very similar where employees can go to vent about customers.
I don't know how active a lot of them are, but a quick search of "I have worked in retail" turned up about 10 to start.
