1. "well, I went to work for a friend from Facebook" In response to Reply # 0
But I did let his wife add me as a friend and she's the money behind it.
It's probably a lot different in hospitality than regular work, though. I've seen every person who's ever signed my paycheck vomit into some kind of cylinder after midnight.
4. "I tell them that I don't connect coworkers or colleagues on social media..." In response to Reply # 3
Because I use Facebook to speak freely with people that I socialize with, I wouldn't want something that I might say, do or believe to affect anything at work.
I have one exception now and that's a woman that I knew (and was FB friends with) before I joined this firm (in fact, she gave me the heads up on the open position).
Other than that, I just don't do it. There are some folks that are cool and I would be friends on social media if the circumstances were different. But Brew is right about being consistent. Otherwise, some folks may take it as an insult if you don't include them.

.. I guess it all depends on how much you value your job. Some bosses can be petty assholes, and we all know working people don't exactly have a ton of recourse when it comes to challenging people in positions of power.

two incidents at my work made this damn near a rule for me.
1. My friend and I enrolled in this leadership academy at work. About a week after we enrolled, he made a facebook post during company hours.
*A* post. Not ten of them.
Anyhow, a sup saw it and took it straight to his mentor in the program, who happened to be the deputy director.
He got kicked from the program.
2. I went to a training with one of my managers. She sat by me, and talked my ear off all damn day. She spent a fair amount of time ranting about how managers and supervisors are people too, they're no different from everyone else, and she takes it personally when employees won't talk to her or avoid her in situations like that training.
Later in the day, I saw her looking around the room and writing a list of names.
I asked what the list was.... and she straight said that it was a list of people who were on their phones, so she could tell their supervisors.
This, you fucking sociopath, is why people avoid your ass like the plague.

jokes.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
There was a dude at my last job (who works where I work now) that would try to add everyone on everything (socials, video games, etc.) and be extra loud about how long and when he saw you online.
