Put up an informal question poll on your Status on your Facebook account asking everyone how much time they think she spends on Fb at work. Willing to bet she drops the Fb habit at work pretty quick once she sees it (As long as she's listed as a friend of yours).

Wait for someone to leave their computer unlocked when they leave their desk. Send an email from their account telling her about the gossip. Sit back and watch hilarity ensure.

She's on my "team" at work (about 8 of us), and I don't want to create a situation where calling her out in that regard makes it unpleasant to work with her for the next umpteen years. |

Your kidding right ? well then MYOFB ![/quote] But that's just it...when my own Facebook page pops up, and all I see are posts from this co-worker, she has sorta made it "my business". Likewise, when I have to listen to office gossip all day (which I hate) because of her activity, again...it sorta becomes "my business". And most of all, because I am a shareholder in this company, an employee wasting that much time is definitely "my business". |

If you have any sort of access to her computer while she is gone, jump on it, find the hosts file, and add facebook.com 127.0.0.1 to it. Google "hosts file" for more specific info. It's easy.
You will essentially block facebook from her computer, and her computer only. Can't be traced to you. Other than that, I would say MYOB. |

Well, it sounds like sooner or later the gossip will catch up to her. Sounds like her problem.
Maybe if you in a group together just BSing, maybe mention about how you spend way too much time on facebook, (outside of work of course) and need to kick it down. Just lie if you actually don't spend that much time at all, maybe she'll get the hint. |

Quoted:
So, I have a co-worker (and yes, it really is a co-worker...it isn't me) who is on Facebook ALL the time. We can tell because in any given workday, she posts between 12-20 various articles, videos, ect. And since we're assuming she actually searches for and reads all these articles and videos, it all adds up to the fact that she must be spending at LEAST 5 or so of her 8 work hours on Facebook. Complicating matters is the fact that this co-worker is fairly senior. So it's not like simply marching into her office and telling her to knock it off is a viable option. But I feel like I should say something, because other co-workers in the office are starting to "chatter" about the amount of time she is obviously spending on Facebook. Short of just telling her that she has become the source of office gossip and might want to re-think her relationship with Facebook during office hours, does anyone have any ideas as to how I can confront her about it, without actually being confrontational? Leave an anonymous note (have someone from the outside write it so she doesn't recognize your writing) on her desk saying you're going to turn her in at the end of the week if she doesn't stop. Let her fix her own problem, unless she can't. Or just get IT to block Facebook. (Why isn't it already blocked?) |

For large corporations, if you explain it to them as a money loss issue or a security issue, in my experience they are usually pretty good about doing it. |

She's on my "team" at work (about 8 of us), . This is the problem. In the old days people that worked were called Employees and they had Bosses. It was the Boss's job to tell Employees to quit fucking off and get their asses back to work. I think this concept got lost when Employees became Associates, Personnel became Human Resources and Quality Control became Quality Assurance. That was my "Old Fart" rant for the day. Thank you.
