Workers deny bosses online friend requests

Most people do not want to be friends with their bosses or parents on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, a survey has found.

A poll quizzed over 1,000 Brits about who they don't want as online 'friends' and bosses toped the list with 86 percent.

Parents came second with 74 percent followed by colleagues (69 percent)  relatives (61 percent) and Ex boyfriends/girlfriends (52 percent).

Asked why they didn't want to befriend certain people 78 percent admitted it was because they had something embarrassing on their profile.

You never know, if your boss saw those incriminating photos of what you got up to on Saturday night you could get a raise ... but they might not go down too well with your Dad.
