Unfriend

Friending someone on Facebook, more importantly –unfriending them, may have unintended consequences in the land down under.  As reported at CNET.com, the Australia Fair Work Commission recently found that “unfriending” a co-worker on Facebook was considered bullying.  In addition to the Facebook unfriending, the unfriended and aggrieved employee also complained of more than a dozen other alleged offensive incidents and actions over the prior three years.  In finding for the aggrieved employee, the Commission found that the offending co-employees actions lacked “emotional maturity” and were “indicative of unreasonable behavior.”
