Good question! Thanks for asking!
I don't think there's a single answer that would work for everyone. Each person must judge for themselves the best way to handle FB and coworkers.
First suggestion... don't mention FB at all... not that you have it... not that you've ever seen anything on it... not in agreement that you've seen what another person has seen... etc... etc.. you get the idea. Beyond that... I've heard the request deflected in a few different ways.
* You don't FB at all. Or... you're taking a break from FB.
* You've just one FB account and you've an
understanding with family that your FB is just for family... ya know family
personal stuff. And... dang it... you've been meaning to start a account for family
and family... gosh you need to get on that!
* Of course... you don't FB coworkers... or ... you don't FB coworkers when you start a new job.
* The best route is to state your position before anyone even asks. A casual comment ... as casually as you can ... "Oh yeah... I don't FB people at work."

My question for you though is how do you say no to your coworkers who want to friend you on FB? I do say no but it seems to hurt their feelings, especially ones I spend any personal time with.
Hoping you have a good answer that works for everyone.
Thanks
