Facebook in an office

[Qboro90]

After reading your Op I'm honestly surprised that by the time I got to the last reply, you still have this job.

 

Have you noticed how stubborn and "I'm always right" mentality you operate with. Both at work and in your personal relationships in regards to your thread about your BF.

 

For starters, you may be 21 and Facebook might seem more laid back and informal to you..... But you need to understand that social media has become part of our culture and professional environment. You can write and word the way you want on YOUR personal FB page but when you are operating your company and employers Social Media account, it's of the UTMOST importance that you present it in the most professional, respectable, and non controversial or bias manner.

 

You have a fault of only being able to see things through your eyes. And "you don't feel it's wrong or improper, so you're not gonna change it". I guarantee that if you continue to carry yourself and the work you do this way, eventually your employer will fire you. They don't want to have to explain why they want their company to appear a certain way to you and why the way you did it wasn't what they like. It's your job to do what they tell you when they're offering their input and feedback.

 

Does it say C.E.O next to your name on your business card? If not then you have to get it through your head that you're not the smartest 21 year old in the world who knows what your company wants better than they do.

 

Perfect grammar, no "lols", or photos of alchohol or employees doing anything other than professional appropriate activities. People get fired every day for the content they have on their personal Facebook pages because of the reflection it shows on the company they work for. Business now more then ever are incredibly strict and on top of what their employees post on social media and what their company social media posts and portrays.

 

If your co worker was unhappy about her image in the photos you chose.... Remove them. Then be mature enough to understand why some people want to control their image to the public.

 

If you were smart then the next time you had to upload photos, you would send out the pics you plan on using to those who are in them along with "please approve the use of the following on our company Facebook page. If there is an image you prefer not be used, please reply with the number of the photo so that I can ensure only the approved ones are uploaded. Thank you"

 

Nothing aggravates people more than trying to explain, help, or offer advice to someone younger than you and being met with "well I don't agree with you so there's no chance I'm changing it".

 

You might make more money than the intern or your coworker but if enough people in the office start disliking you or chatting about how difficult it is to work with you, it might be their voices that can save your job when your boss inquires about it. As of now I'd bet that if your manager asked for their impression of you and what the problem was with the FB account, they would make it look like you are non professional and unwilling to do what's in the best interest of the company.

 

I don't want to come across mean or rude but for a 21 yo I think it's really time that you start to mature and show some humility. The "know it all" vibe is the last thing you want to have people think of you and can prevent your career from growing .
