Do a lot of people rarely log into their Facebook page?

Yes, some people don't check Facebook very often. And some people leave it logged in even when they're not at the computer. And still other people use Facebook as a phone app (rather than the mobile version) and it only shows the friend request notification once and then if you don't accept it right away, you don't keep seeing the notification, so it's easy to forget about it...and later they approve it.

It's very possible they don't check it often, or stay logged in but don't view the page, or simply forgot about the request.

And if you are sending friend requests to coworkers, there are two additional reasons why you may not have gotten a response. It's nothing personal - but some people are hesitant about being Facebook friends with coworkers, for 2 reasons: 1) There are people who have been fired over what they posted on Facebook, because their bosses managed to view what they posted there (directly or indirectly, through a coworker friend's profile) and misinterpreted it. 2) Some people, like me, just like to keep their personal life separate from work...so they don't like to "friend" coworkers.
