Step #2—Wait until you've given your formal notice before making a formal announcement. This applies to all social media platforms, but primarily the “big threeâ€: LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Ideally, you would wait until you're done working out your notice before making any sort of announcement.
Your boss may or may not be willing to connect on Facebook. And if your manager is already Facebook friends with your peers, it's probably OK to connect. Also, check with human resources to make sure the company doesn't have a policy prohibiting managers from being Facebook friends with their subordinates.
- Make sure you're using the most updated version of the app or browser; - Restart your computer or phone; - Uninstall and reinstall the app, if you're using a phone; - Log into Facebook and try again.
