Just had a friend request from my former manager froma job i left 7 weeks ago.
Nothing wrong with that you may say, but she made my working life a misery and was generally obstructive when i was there and now she wants to be my friend? I suspect she just wants to find out how im doing and generally be nosy. Obviously she must think that now i've left i bear no ill feeling towards her etc.

So should i:-
1) Ignore her
2) Accept and play nice
3) Accept and be hateful to her?

Let the STW swingometer decide!

1) Ignore her

Why bother doing anything else?

She may have been nasty because she burned a candle for you! Perhaps this is the start of a period of extended stalking...

write to your former employer saying she's stalking you and can they ask her stop.

She just wants more FB friends cos who has the most wins.

I once sent a FB message to a mgr I'd done some work for saying I was interested in a permanent role she had - she ignored my message other than that she sent me a friend invitation. Odd I thought.

Use linkedin for professional/work contacts and networking. Facebook is for friends only!

What I usually do in those circumstances is to accept them immediatly remove her as a friend.

So shes gets the confirmation but you don't get alerted if you were removed as a friend.

I often get ex gf's and people from school that I haven't seen in 10years that I never got a long with.

Shame its so addicitive, otherwise I'd just delete my account. Oh and my phone sort of depends on FB for it's contact list.

I've held for a while now that what Facebook really needs is a "this user is a ****" button.

I was in a very similar position a little while ago. I ignored the user in question, but was bowled over by WTFness; back when we worked together there was a mutual hatred between us that you could've mined diamonds with.

Just leave the request there. That way she can't ask again. Either that or block her, then you simply vanish....

I've never used Facebook from seeing it as sad but it might good for networking.

2) Accept and be yourself.

If you will never ever meet this person again or need a reference etc then 1) ignore her.

3) if you want to sink to her level but you're better than that so roll dice and go back to 1).

Ignore if you can't stand her. Thing is I had a boss from hell whihc everyone hated but said on his last day he would miss me as were a great team-some a55holes don't realise they are a55holes.
