A survey by Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project was released todaythat measured the attitudes by Americans toward using Facebook at work.
The responses indicated that 56 percent say “it is irresponsible” to be friends with a boss.
On the other hand, 62 percent said it is wrong to be friends with an employee.
Among workplace peers, 76 percent claimed it is acceptable to be Facebook friends with a coworker.

From those surveyed, 52 percent said it is appropriate for the HR people and 48 percent said it is unacceptable.

And let’s not forget the “happy meals” at all the fast food joints that come with the movie promoting toys and PR tie-ins.
