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.

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.

+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!

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.

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.
