I need to vent this!!

You better believe I'd confront her! Not in a "you b!tch" kind of way...but in a "that was really low...i thought you were more mature than that" kind of way.

Are y'all permitted to use Twitter, FB, MFP, etc while on the job? If you take it to HR, you might end up getting yourself in trouble, too. I know it's hard, but in an office setting with other women, you really need to be careful with whom you share personal information. You can have "work friends" who really aren't friends. Be friendly, but not friends with her from now on.

^^^^^
This

if she worked in my organization, she'd probably be fired.

Definately call her out on it... Tell her that is the most unclassy thing that someone could do with personal information.

the block twitter and fb on company computers but they unblocked it for her and that is when she is posting all of this through the company computer on company time!

blah i'm just ignoring her i dnt want to associate with her at all anymore!

That's probably for the best.

I would say pick your battles. She was pretty immature with her posting but you are now posting about her on a public site so be careful. You don't have to participate in her drama. Just go about your business, do your job, speak to her if she speaks to you and leave it at that. Especially since she is temporary and will be gone soon. Also, since she is using company computer she may be digging her own grave. Companies monitor these sites.

I'm terribly sorry she did that!! But evenmoreso than how utterly unprofessional and immature this is, it's probably against company policy and I hope you take it straight to HR.

Yes, unprofessional. Yes, immature. Against company policy...probably not. The tweet was about a personal conversation that two co-workers had about a non-work related subject. Going to HR...I have to disagree. Either approach this co-worker in an adult professional manner, or let it go knowing that, in the future, don't say anything to her that you would have a problem with her repeating.

i am all about confronting someone that does me wrong, but she might just tweet what you said to her. I would leave it alone and just not talk to her anymore. Don't go to HR, you don't want her to loose her job do you? I would hate to see someone loose a job during this time.

if you find out her twitter name please pass it along I am sure we can have some fun with her.

Horrible! Don't let a snotty little brat get you down!

I sure understand your anger. Any time someone betrays my trust I have the same feelings. It is extremely hard to develop trusting relationships because of the age of social networking.

I hope you feel a great deal of pride in all of your efforts to recover from an eating disorder. You are having to work very hard, constantly, every day to keep yourself healthy ......a very, very difficult journey.

It is very scary to let people to know your faults and weaknesses but there are many, many examples of television and movie stars who have had to publicly admit their problems (such as substance abuse or failed relationships) --- when the information is made public, everyone really wants that person to succeed in their recovery. It can be very freeing to have people know these very personal issues. and you might get support from others that you might not have had before this girl betrayed you.

This girl is obviously not your friend and she is emotionally bankrupt. She tries to fill her messed up head by getting attention from others. I would confront her and tell her that you are angry that she betrayed your trust and let her know that your friendship is over. Do not except her excuses for her behavior....people who act the way she did cannot be trusted. They make excuses so they can feel better about themselves. Hopefully she will some day try to recover from her emotional problems.

It might be a good time to make a list of the qualities you want in your friends. Then don't settle for anything less before you share personal information.

You are a strong person -- you are wise to vent. I know you can move on from this.

What she puts on Twitter is her business. Unless she openly names and put the companies name into disrepute, she hasn't officially done anything wrong. I know that's not what you'd want to hear but it's true. If you did want to say something, you could always speak to her privately saying you were on Twitter hoping to add her, and you came across it, and it upset you.

I believe this is true. Unless she specifically used your name on the Twitter feed, she can get away with this kind of immature behavior.
Atleast now you know that you should not share personel info with her.

I just need to get this off my chest bc its upsetting me a bit. There is this girl in our office temporarily, we thought we were getting along with her you know not great but good. Then my coworker open up her twitter feed and this girl has been posting horrible things about us on there. One in particular got to me, she was making conversation with me abt my workouts and my diet, i went on to tell her that i was working on it bc i struggle with an eating disorder, this is hard for me bc i'm still struggling with it. Well she went on to post abt it on twitter something abt if i wanted to look great i needed to eat great and if i wanted to look ok then i should eat ok, I was hurt!!! Yes I realize she is younger than I am and that it is a social network but i dnt appreciate trusting someone with this and then they turn around and do that what is wrong with her?!

This is exactly why i dnt tell ppl abt this!! =((

Vent over! sorry i just had to get it off my chest =(

Interesting, a friend of mine was just admonishing us about these social networks. As private as we may want some things in our lives is lost due to these sites. And at time you may trust someone with private things, until something goes wrong then your entire life is exposed. I am sorry to hear this happened and yes you may want to say something or not depending on your strength to speak out. However, we for the most part have a eating disorder and that is where we come here to be upfront and honest to ourselves, don't kick yourself in the butt about it overcome it if you can and move forward and allow this experience to strengthen you in some way of fashion. I struggled with this too at times, and also other issues like being compared to my sister all the time and now that I am finally at a good weight I thought I would get away from that comparison however nope it is now at a different angle and at times sickening but what can I do? I can't tell people how to act, respond or be careful since we are not sure how words affect one way or another. So I say use this experience to STRENGTHEN you, use it to drive you to reach your goals, use it to say can't trust anyone.

So to retaliate for her talking trash about you on twitter, you're going to talk trash about her on MFP.... :huh:

What you've done is probably no different than what she did. Did she name you by name? Do any of her Twitter friends know you personally?
She was probably just venting her feelings the same way you are now. Would she be offended if she pulled up your MFP account?

Pot, meet Kettle.

Are you serious? Let's get a little perspective here.

The OP isn't sharing personal stuff with us about the girl like her eating disorder nor is she criticizing or condemning the girl for it. That type of reckless behavior can have a damaging impact on someone who is struggling mentally and emotionally with their relationship with food. Tweeting her feelings about the OP's eating disorder (coincidentally she really isn't even entitled to have an opinion on that) constitutes as cyberbullying giving the potential harm that it could have caused. I'm glad the OP has MFP as a support system. Maybe venting here kept her from binging and purging.
