what would you do -my boss

I have been on FB for several years now - and no, I don't have any man-bun or boy-beard, for
that matter....
If properly used, FB can be handy. I primarily use it to conveniently keep in touch with what
little family I have, along with SELECTED friends - and I have everything set so that only those
I choose can see what I do on there.
Other than that, following certain interests (mostly firearms and Mopar-related stuff) is interesting, too.
I keep up with local events and groups on there, too - emergency agencies, weather and the like.

FB is a tool, like anything else - it all depends on how you use it....
and whether or not you fall into easy traps of gossip and the like.
Do you have self-discipline? FB can be useful.
If not - stay the heck off it.
 
Can't offer any words or advice because this is a messy situation with no quick, easy or painless resolution. For anyone else, all I can say is, this is why you don't do business with friends, as well keep your personal and professional life separate...
 
If I’m reading this correctly, your son “called out” your boss on Facebook over religion (“he’s a believer“)?

the boss then decided to block him?

Standing up for what you think is right, WHEN IT MATTERS, is one thing. Getting in a Facebook pissing match with your Dad’s boss, is another.

Probably best that the boss decided to end it, on social media.

Also, if the boss (assuming company owner) is really losing it, it’s probably a good time to start looking for another job before the wheels fall off.
 
I guess all I really want is my friend/boss admit he has a mental illness and that he might need help.
 
I agree, Ed.
I joined Facebook a little over a year ago. I use it to keep up and engage with folks and hobbies. I’m on Mopar pages, model car pages, boat pages and collectible bicycle pages.

I’ve put many folks on snooze, because they think Facebook is the place to put a daily political opinion out. It gets old.

I’m there to buy and sell collectors items and network with others of similar interest. You aren’t going to change my beliefs with a nifty Meme.

My boss just kepted on tagging my son on FB and finally my son let loose on him. My son is not a fighter but if you push someone around long enough they will fight back. At one point I told my boss to quite the BS on FB with my son. Even told my son to hide my boss on FB.
 
stay away from involvement on a personal level with employers. Mind your own business, facebook can be poison for relationships. in 48 years working i always kept work and home/personal life seperate. same with in lawa no politics and money talk. if you change job same thing can happen all over again
 
Take pride in knowing that week after week you’ve done your job and have been paid to be a man of his word. 16 years of paying your mortgage and providing for your family is a source of great pride, regardless of who it’s for, and done without personal intervention. Try to keep it that way, smile when you get that paycheck, knowing that you earned it, and take some solace that he has to hand you that money!
 
personal and business relationships usually don't mix and sooner or later something usually blows up. I've been in business for 30 years, and being the boss means your responsible for your well being and if you have a conciense, (don't know correct spelling) The well being of your employees. So when **** hits the fan and your business may fold and your responsible for making the decisions that keep you afloat and you pull it off well yes your ego gets inflated, then when things in the future go along its easier to see what you need to do to steer the ship to get to your destination. the check your son put into place is the seed of truth and may eventually grow. Go to your boss tell him what you just posted posted here, watching each others kids grow up etc. etc. explain to him that it was a good thing this came out and maybe a solution to your bosses problem and maybe a solution to yours. JMO. good luck. and fu_k facebook!

You work for a narcissist, they are beyond any hope or help! They're to self evolved in themselves to recognize it. Your best bet is to stay as far away from them and do everything in your power to have them stay away from you, as well as you staying as far away from them as possible and have no interaction with them. Just do your job and NOT get involved, you'll only hurt yourself. Good Luck

Has he always acted this way or is it relatively new behavour??? If new... I'd suspect a brain tumour could be the underlying issue. As for your Son and Boss being friends on FBook, something that should never have been in the first place. That's a no win situation.. that as you are fully aware now has you at job jeopardy...
 
I've found it good policy to not have any work/company connections linked or followed on any
of my "social" online sites - and to keep those set to private.
Companies do spy on their employees online - a LOT - these days and the first place they'll
look typically is facebook and twitter, amongst others.

100%. For various reasons I deleted my social media accounts; work place spying is one of them because you never know who is watching...

I am on facefuck for hobby stuff.
But I do not use my real name their because I don't want to get spied out by companies.
I do not have many Facefuck friends either. I prefer to have them in real life instead.
I stay off from anything political, too

But I do like for Mopar stuff, car shows, model car hobby etc

Me personally it sounds like the relationship is ruined already. I think both relationships the work one and the friend one are doomed. Working for someone you no longer respect can never work out. Life is too short cause YOU will be the one that will have to REMAIN SILENT as he holds the upper hand. Even though your "friends" YOU would be walking on egg shells all day at work cause he is the boss. If you can go get other work easily I would tell him to go **** himself and walk away but that's just me...
 
He works once in a blue moon so I dont have to see him. I figure my days are numbered because I will only deal with so much. Just a sad situation we were like brothers and Im think the illness is creeping in.
 
My oldest is 12, I have 4 and I have to teach him sometimes u have to be the bigger person know matter what u know is right, as long as u know. At the end of the day look past all of that is it really that serious to look for another job with all that’s going on. Facebook I do not have or ever want it, its for people to brag and talk about them selves, narcissistic people. IMO
