MANAGEMENT: Is Facebook too Scary for Some Executives? - Freelancer
According to a recent survey commissioned by a California temp administrative firm, nearly half of executives are uncomfortable being “friended” by the employees they manage (48 percent) or their bosses (47 percent). For a news analysis story I am writing for a national trade magazine, I am looking for HR/social networking experts to discuss the survey results (I will provide the entire survey results) and why almost half of the executives surveyed are not happy about being “friended” in either direction. Also, I could use some comments on whether this data is good, bad or neutral for an organization today. Contact:XXXXXXXXX
