[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to check yourself. You pushed too hard and made this about yourself. You should have offered one time and then dropped it or simply said "well the offer stands, let me know if you change your mind." No pushing. You've created conflict and hurt feelings where there needn't be any.

Sometimes people with household staff or professional assistants forget the nature of an employment relationship.[b] But your employee never forgets. You don't realize how little they forget. [/b]If they are very good at your job and you get along with them, and you are financially conmfortable, you may simply forget that you pay them for their time. You will separate in your head the financial aspect, which likely happens automatically and is such an established part of your budget that you don't pay it attention, from the interpersonal relationship.

They never forget. Do not try to cross those boundaries. You can be friendly, kind. But don't pretend you are just friends, or that you are family. They are there because you pay them to be there. Remind yourself of this.[/quote]
