Oh yeah, 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.160 to have someone who would do anything for you. They 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.240 lend you money, they'll let you crash on their couch. Yeah, 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:56.360 if not free, a really small sum.

And that's why our 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.040 listener thought she was doing the right thing when she 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.640 lied to her boss and to her entire company to 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.440 help her best friend get hired. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.320 Ah. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.360 Well, now in retrospect, it may have been the worst 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.760 decision that she has ever made. You're gonna understand why 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.119 she had no choice but to reach out to us 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.640 in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:33.720 Next, it's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.440 There's a lot of sayings that warn people about how 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.960 you shouldn't date people that you work with. Office romances 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:47.000 never end well, sayings that Brooke has completely ignored over 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.919 the years, which is why all of our promo guys 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.320 at our radio station never seemed to last. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.280 Girls they should be available as well. I don't know, 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.120 I'm getting I really don't think it's that big of 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:03.399 a deal. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:04.079 We could tell. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.360 I mean, they do, as long as it's not like 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.239 a weird boss like situation. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.000 Yeah, I am curious. Are there any warnings about don't 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.160 hire your friends to work with you at your company? 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.520 Oh yeah, friends in business don't mix. That is literally 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:19.960 the same. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.320 Well, somebody didn't know about that, saying Brooke, because one 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.960 of our listeners, Kristen, emailed saying she got one of 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.680 her friends hired at her work. Now she has to 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.280 make an awkward Tuesday phone call about it. That's actually 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:32.160 where I do the line. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.280 I don't do friends and business stuff, but it ruins 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:36.320 friendships every time. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.200 That's right. So, Kristen, welcome to the show. 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.720 Hey, thanks for having me.

Things are going really well, but I love it. 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.040 Yeah, you can keep a job. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.280 That long, right, Yeah, I'm doing something, right, I think. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:03.480 Yeah. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.720 But then out of nowhere, I had an assistant quit 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.480 and she was great, very solid, independable. It was just 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.960 like a life choice change. Nothing. Oh, no su for 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.080 dramatic or anything. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:14.400 The thought of one of. 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:15.280 My assistants quit. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.520 I mean, if I hooked up with them first, then 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.359 that's a thing, but just putting out of the blue. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.720 No, It's one thing to get a friend a job 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.760 for like somebody else in the company, a different department. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.920 Are you saying you got your friend an assistant job 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:29.840 and you're the boss. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:30.240 Oh? 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.680 Yes, this happens. And I'm like out to happy hour 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:35.280 with my. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.400 Best friend Matt, and I tell him. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:42.080 About it and like gets so enthusiastic, freaks out, and 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.720 he's like, oh my god, you have to pick me. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.240 I would be a great assistant. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.120 No, No, that would be a terrible assistant because you're 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.240 best friends. Yeah, I mean, honestly, like, he may be 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.039 a great assistant to anyone else. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.280 Yeah, but he just thinks, like. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:56.520 Oh my god, we'll be hanging. 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:56.800 Out all day. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:57.479 It would be great. 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.240 Yeah, yeah, I I wish you guys were at the 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.480 happy hour that day. That would have helped my brain 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.159 a little bit. Oh no, that's okay. I was thinking 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.640 the same thing, like I don't know. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.680 About this, yeah, hesitation before you went through with it. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.200 But what happened totally totally, And so he's like really 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.479 pleading for me to give him a chance, so against 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.440 my better judgment and that little voice in my head 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.599 that apparently is all of you, but you weren't there. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.280 I did. I hired him. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.440 What's happened since you hired him? 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.320 Well, the most important thing was that when I hired him, 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.400 it was under one stipulation, and it was that no 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.320 one at the company could know that we were. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.440 Friends, because that would look bad, right, Yeah. 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.240 And like I don't need anyone to know that. I 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.719 don't need to bring my personal life in. But we 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:50.520 put time to like not know each other. And the 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.520 plan was that he could work there with me for 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.479 a few months just as a way to get his 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.200 foot in the door, and then he could apply to 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.040 another position. Within a company and that would be good 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.720 for him and then good for me and just like 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:01.799 in the in between. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.599 So there was an end date too. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.000 Yeah, yeah, we could have a few fun months. But 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:12.200 that was three years ago and he's sell my assistance. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:15.600 How's the friendship? 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.920 I bet it's great. Yo, it is horrible. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.320 Oh no, who hates two more? 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.360 I mean it's not that we hate each other, it's 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.760 just like he's taken advantage of the situation. That's the problem. 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.560 Like he's gotten to the pattern of skipping meetings or 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.320 taking long lunches, or forgetting to do like little task 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.039 like not huge things that would get fired, but just 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.360 like little things here and there. And it's just it's 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.159 not great. And I have been hinting at him for 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.360 months to move on. I send him emails for applications 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.400 and he just won't do it. He has like no initiative, 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.640 And I'm like, did I make this too comfortable? 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.320 Well, he's not getting reprimanded for anything. It sounds like 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.400 a sweet job. He's taking a long lunch what he. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.920 Wants to like, Yeah, I mean at this point, you said, 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.840 like you're completely frustrated, like you've totally had it with 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:04.360 your friend. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.600 I mean, yeah, it's striving crazy. I can't work with 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.160 him anymore, and I just I. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.320 Guess I'm the point where I need help delivering the message, 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:12.040 like very. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.360 Loud, very clear, it's time for you to move on 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.120 without her inner friendship because I do love him and 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.040 he still is my best friend, but with also not 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.239 being his boss anymore. 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.560 Okay, so you're going to talk to him as his 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.360 best friend, not as his boss. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.360 I think so. I think that's the idea because I 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.040 don't want to fire him. I guess that would be 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.880 the boss conversation would be that. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.679 Would he care if he got fired? 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:34.920 Like? 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:35.280 Does he? 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:37.000 I hope so? 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:38.960 In unemployment if you get fired? 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.560 Okay, so now, but you're right, I mean, still, that's 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:43.440 all of his benefits. 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.360 I'm sure he loves like collecting this paycheck of this nice, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.680 cushy job that he has and not having to work 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.200 very much for all that money. But how do you 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.880 politely deliver that message? That's on us? And I'm afraid 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.000 of what Brooke is going to say. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.360 I'm a little more direct than you are, That's what I'm. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.920 Saying, and I like that. I don't know if there's 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.760 away for Brooks to kindly tell a man you're not 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:07.240 good enough right now. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.800 Be direct without being mean. And she's obviously been hinting 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.320 for a long time, and the hinting isn't working. Like 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.320 it's better for him, it's better for her, it's better 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:16.040 for everybody. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.480 I cannot wait to see what that advice looks like. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.000 Coming from your brook Oh my god, I am dying 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.360 to hear what we have to say to help you 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:28.480 politely tell your friend slash assistant that he needs to 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.040 move on from his job. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.240 I'm a guess looking forward to it too. I just 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:33.600 want to. 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.800 When we come back, give your advice and let you 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.680 make your awkward Tuesday phone call coming up right after this. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:47.080 It's awkward, it's sad. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.880 I may not know much about my coworkers, but I 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.840 know this. Nothing makes Brooks smile like the idea of 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.719 a woman shaming her male counterpart telling him he's not 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.560 doing good enough and he to get his act together. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.120 What did I do wrong there? 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:10.720 I do not shame mail counterparts. They just shame you. Yes, 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.000 And I also spend over a decade with you telling 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.240 you how great you are. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.000 Not to my face, I've never heard that. 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:20.320 You are such a pain. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:20.880 In my butt. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.760 And that's exactly what made one of our listeners email 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.280 us for help. Our listener, Kristen secretly got her friend 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.240 Matt hired to be her new assistant. Of course, they 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.120 didn't tell anyone at the company they knew each other 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.720 because I was just supposed to be a way to 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.480 get his foot in the door and then he could 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.440 climb the company ladder. But three years later, Matt is 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.560 still her assistant and seems to be taking advantage of 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.319 their friendship because he's skipping meetings, missing tasks that he's 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.280 supposed to be doing.
