Dearest Claudia,<br />
<br />
I've had more than my fair share of associates who sufferred from "situational" morality. Never once did I consider it any of my business to make any comments about it. I kept doing my job - and they kept doing theirs. No problem.<br />
<br />
This case is different though. This is her best friend's slimey husband. BEST FRIEND.<br />
<br />
Her boss is a dirtbag.....and since we're in a recession - she isn't going to be making too many placements right now anyway. What better time to bail than right…

Jerry, you crack me up - love that you say what I'm sure half of today's readers are thinking. If she were to talk offline to anyone, wouldn't it make more sense to have the conversation with her boss? Either way, she loses bigtime.<br />
<br />
Nah, I stand on my original advice.

Sorry - but I'm just not buying this. Your best friend's hubby is cheating on her and you haven't already told her all about that weasel? Why on earth would you keep working for a scumbag like that?<br />
<br />
What is this world coming to when our BEST FRIENDS no longer look out for us?<br />
<br />
Oh I'm sure the concensus will be "keep your mouth closed and the paychecks coming"......but if you were MY best friend and knew my spouse was committing adultry you had better get on the phone with me right away!<br />
<br />

When someone says, <i>"I don't want to hurt your feelings, but...</i> I immediately feign a seizure, froth at the mouth and collapse at their feet. I find this saves the other party any embarrassment and gives them the opportunity to be nice to me instead.<br />
<br />
Your approach, Maureen, could easily create an upset. Not to hurt your feelings or anything.<br />
