[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had dinners (and lunches, and drinks, etc.) with friends that I was able to expense because we talked business for 15 minutes, and we were in compatible industries that might reasonably do business together. So maybe she IS having dinner with friends but also thinking of it as a business meeting at the same time.

It really just strikes me as she feels guilty for not rushing straight home after work. Your time is valuable, OP, SO YOU GET PAID FOR IT. You don't need to know what your MB is doing or who she's with. You only need to know how to reach her in an emergency. That's ALL. [/quote]

The point isn't WHAT she is doing with the time. It would have been perfectly acceptable to not tell OP what she was doing at all. The issue is that she LIED about what she was doing. That is the problem. Your MB thinks she can lie to you OP and that is not okay. [/quote]

No, actually the point is that you have no way of knowing whether there was a business dimension to her otherwise social evening plans.  She may not have been lying at all.  [/quote]

Bullshit. The simplest answer is usually correct. Is it more likely that MB told a white lie and wasn't actually working, as was indicated by her sister and niece, or was she in some convoluted way mixing business and pleasure making it kind of true but still not really? No. It is most likely that MB told a white lie, for whatever reason, but it was a lie and it speaks to a lack of integrity. Not a reason to quit immediately, but definitely a reason for OP to keep one eye on her and verify the things she is told. If this is symptomatic of a greater character flaw, she's probably not someone you could trust to give an honest reference if you were to quit, for example. [/quote]

OP here. This above is what I was getting at. Her lying, for any reason, is lack of integrity. If parents found a nanny lied about things, regardless of how small, they would let her go. They wouldnt be able to trust her. Why is this any different? It isn't. [/quote]
