[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband says that I am too "friendly".[/quote] I've had the same issue. There are pros, in that your nanny/housekeeper/whatever feels comfortable, is honest and up front with you, and is unlikely to jump ship. However, the cons are that your employee feels like you are her friend more so than employer, and there are a lot of inappropriate requests/slacking off. It is a really tough balance, especially as an empathetic person who likes other people. At the end of the day, I've genuinely liked the people I've hired as people, so it's kind of hard for me to pull off the boss role. Your husband can play bad guy.[/quote]
