Facebook at work? Well, actually….yes!

From So You Recruited Me from Facebook, But I'm Not Allowed to Play with Facebook at Work? –

HR and IT pros both have struggled with the question of whether to allow access to or the use of social networks in the workplace. Let's come up with a policy and regulate use or ban it! But I'd argue that this isn't the appropriate response. More rules and policies won't fix the problem. And that is, if you consider this even being a problem. Are they getting the job done? If yes, well then… 

Besides, to recruit using social networks and then try to ban or reprimand the use of such during work hours? Well, that would make you a bit of a hypocrite. But hey, that's just my point of view and I'm a millennial, after all, so maybe my perspective is colored. You tell me what you think though and while you're doing that, I'll be over on FB checking to see what my friends are up to on the live feed.
