WHAT MARIA THINKS

In this article, Dan Schawbel a Gen Y career and workplace expert, the Founder of Millennial Branding and the author of the new book, Promote Yourself: The New Rules For Career Success, talks about that fact that work relationships are more complicated now than they were in the past because now everyone is online. According to the writer everything you do online can have consequences on the way people relate do each other and can even have consequences on your credibility at work.

It is also refered a study in partenership with American Express where they found out that millenials workers are more confortable being firend with their managers than the other way around. "For me, Facebook, is for my friends and family so I am pretty selective with who is a part of that social network," says Mike Proulx, senior vice president of digital strategy at Hill Holliday. other managers also believe that social network connection is good so they can get to know their employes and the employes get to know their bosses.

In my opinion, I think it is good to be friends with your coworkers or manager on social media because you can establish a relationship that could be used to your advantage when you work. After all your manager is the one with the power to promote and open new work opportunities. Getting to know the people you work with outside of that environment can lead to better communication during work and maybe you'll feel more comfortable and maybe build some trust between yourselves. Also, it is good to know the interests and likes of the ones you work with and the other way around because you get to know how they are and what they do when they're just relaxing from work.

In this article the main subject is polyamory. This is a sexuality which consists in having a relationship with more than one person at the same time. The problem stated here is that Facebook doesn´t let you list more than one partner on our profiles. This is a thing that polyamorous individuals deal with because social media doesn´t recognize their sexuality.

This may sound stupid but not being able to state your sexuality on social media can have real-life implications because the person could say she was in a relationship with one partner but the other one would probably be hurt by it. According to the article, polyamorous relationships are not being properly represented even though there are up to 2.4 million polyamorous relationships in the US.

Nowadays, stating on social media that you are in a relationship with someone is considered a step forward in the relationship because it shows that you are happy and want everyone to know why. The writer of the article also compares this to the interracial marriage because there was a time when it was illegal but know it's not and the same should happen with polyamory, everyone should be happy with whoever they want.

I think that everyone should be able to express who they are in every way even online. I think this because social media is part of our life and it has been used by people to express what they really are without being judged because there were other in the same position or living in the same reality. Using social media people can bring awareness to every sort of problems and it was through it that many good things have happened, it gave people the change to be themselves, it made a difference in many lives. So, I think it's just right that Facebook let polyamorous people show that they exist and that their relationships are real because nowadays it's the best way to show that you exist and that your sexuality is not just a joke.
