Facebook announced this week is has 500 million users. But the truth is, employees do use Facebook at work.

Of course, the problem with staying mum about your trouble is that the boss may still find out -- and do you want him to hear the news from you or the office gossip? Even if you do decide to come clean, don't post it on Facebook or blab about it in the break room.

Your constant workplace gossip is going to get you in trouble quickly if you don’t cut it out. Remember that gossip is incredibly harmful and unproductive. Share this on Facebook. When things get you down, you accept them on the surface but then you do everything you can to make others know how much you don’t like it.

This leads to gossip and politics, often just below the surface of what looks like a happy and positive culture. In the age of social media, bosses should be especially careful of how boundaries can get blurred if, for example, they become friends with employees on Facebook, which happens all too often. No example is too small.

There are all kinds of cliques and gossip. Share this on Facebook. Sometimes, the office can feel like high school.

The problem then snowballs and there’s a bunch of unsaid animosity that comes out in snippy emails and rude comments and eye rolling and gossip and anonymous notes. Share this on Facebook. It creates a toxic environment that spreads like wildfire. Now, I’m not saying that every little nuisance needs to be addressed. Pick your battles.

Or, do you prefer to keep your professional and personal lives separate -- talking to friends during the day via Twitter and Facebook? Does it matter if you hang out with them outside of work? In my experience, it makes a difference to me that I like the folks where I work. If I dont, the days can be very long, and very stressful.

Don't gossip or share confidential things, but you get my point. Maybe allow yourself a couple minutes to text hello to your loved ones, check Facebook for a few minutes, or just daydream. Put the seat cover down, sit, cradle your head in your hands, and just rest your eyes. Or go sit on the steps in the stairwell, or the supply room.

The problem that sometimes occurs with sharing with current co-workers is it can turn into office gossip. The nice thing about on-line sites is for the most part they are free, but what they dont charge in fees they can take up in time, as many of us have experienced with sites such as Facebook.

But after working a few years in the traditional media world – which, by the way, is not a very friendly place to be, always challenged, filled with gossip and back talking – I felt the need for a change.

But because of Twitter or Facebook, right before that termination the boss finds out that the employee has health problems or reveals his or her sexual orientation. Social networking.
