Are you Facebook friends with your boss?

When it comes to whether or not you should friend a boss on Facebook, opinions are as varied as status updates.

Surveys by Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project found mixed feelings regarding friending the boss.

But a 2011 report by Minnesota-based Russell & Herder Inc., a marketing and research firm, revealed other sentiments.

An online survey of nearly 1,000 found that younger people are more likely to connect with supervisors. Among those with a Facebook account and a direct supervisor, 26 percent ages 18-34 report they are connected to their supervisor on Facebook. That compares to only 10 percent of those 35 and over.
