Really?? You're upset about her taking a sick day when not sick? I take them all the time. They are called mental health days. Really OP you should unfriend her and call it a day.

And if you were stupid enough to admit that on fB and worked for me you'd be terminated too. And if my HR office picked up on that and you were a finalist for a job that would exclude you. Because in the real world (read: non-DCPS) credibility and judgment matter.

If you're off and feeling stressed or overworked one can take a mental day.

1. This is why I am loathe to hire millennials.
2. Vacation days are for PTO. Sick days are when you are sick.
3. See #1.

What she is sharing on Facebook could harm her relationships with parents and also cause administration/ prospective future employers to not respect her. It is also a bad example for her students for how to behave in public. Kids are so confused about social media anyways.

That was the only part that was unprofessional. You shouldn't have accepted the friend request. Unfriend her and let her communicate with her friends however she wants.

Who are you to say that feeling stressed and needing to take a day off is not a sick day? Secondly, I am not a millenial but in late 30s and also a manager. For your information, most teachers have PTO so there is no official sick day or vacation day, all days get counted the same.

An adult with work that needs to get done. For many of us with jobs at a certain level the work must get done. At work, at home, etc.

She is an aide that probably doesn't get paid much. Working with kids can bring about the need for a mental health day. She has sick days that she would like to use. Not a big deal. Many schools have built in coverage for this or have substitutes so what needs to get done gets done.

I would lose respect for her, but I doubt I would say anything unless it came up in conversation easily.

Ohhhhh so this is about DCPS not about this Aide that YOU friended on Facebook.

+1 Maybe those of us who work and/or aren't DCPS teachers (there's a LOT of those on DCUM) and/or who are over 40 have some perspective. I could lose my job for posting on fB. I'd reprimand someone on my team for doing something that negatively reflects on their or my firm's reputation.

+1. OP, if you care about her maybe you can just tell her when you see her (and nobody is around) what you have been saying here, gently and with a smile, that she should be careful about what she posts because Facebook's posts are basically public and what's on the Internet lives on forever and blah blah blah, and how you know other people got in trouble for something similar and would not want her to get in trouble as well, now or with a future employer. I doubt a prospective future employer would be excited to find posts where she jokes about faking an illness to skip work.

I would not unfriend her because she sounds stupid enough that you may want to monitor her page as long as she is teaching your child.

She is an aide at the school, she is not a teacher, nor is she involved with OP's children.

Weirdo! Why is this now an attack on all DCPS employees? Something is wrong with you.

And??? She's affiliated with the school, has access to her kids and reflects negatively on the school and the teachers. Hey PP, I'm betting you work for DCPS. You people cannot get out of your own way long enough to help yourselves!

+1 Exactly. How can someone spout off about something without knowing the policy?

Just hide her posts so you don't have to see them. I honestly don't see the problem. Hell, my co-worker just told me she is going to pretend to not feel well so she can leave early today. It's stupid and immature IMO, but people do lie about this. Not the end of the world. Most I would do is side eye her for such a petty lie but then i would just keep it moving.

Facebook stalkers are beyond belief... MYOB it is a social media resource and get a freaking life. I guess you're giving her all types of *side-eye* and/or you're too self-absorbed to realize the FB post are about you.
