Type your boss’ name into the “View As” option underneath your profile cover. At the very least, quickly scan each year you’ve been active on Facebook. If something embarrassing or incriminating surfaces, consider removing it from the timeline entirely – or, don’t be friends with your boss on Facebook.
Or add your boss to Facebook’s default “Restricted” list, that you can also find under the lists section on your homepage. Note, however, that this can severely restrict most posts they can see on your page. Your boss might take it personally?
Finally, you might choose to enable "Timeline Review,” which allows you to approve or reject posts you’re tagged in before they publish to your profile. They'll appear as "pending posts" on your wall.
Now, I’m not bragging, but luckily I’ve retained privacy restrictions from my old Limited Profile list that I can still apply to bosses and the like. The people on that list still can’t see any photos tagged of me whatsoever, even back in 2007.
Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t allow you to entirely restrict certain posts (like photos) from new lists anymore. Remember when you could go to privacy settings and select which people or lists were allowed access to certain items on your wall (e.g. tagged photos, posts from friends)? Not anymore. Now you only have the room to restrict friends from viewing your own posts on a case-by-case basis. No more blanket privacy options.
So, are you up to the task of conquering Facebook’s new privacy settings? Let us know how you fare with bosses, parents and significant others as you adapt to Facebook's latest changes.
