I got fired because my supervisor's best friend move to town and wanted my job. She used every word I said to being 2 minutes late too fire me from corporate , she succeeded, I didn't realize it till months later that her best friend took my job, I was devastated and people are cruel. I have changed my career and attending school to get better opportunities . But I would be against the best friend posse style business they will run !! Good luck |

It does not work even in the best of relationships and/or best workers. Either work gets into the way of friendship or friendship clouds the work. Sounds like this is not the perfect relationship anyway. Someone is going to get hurt. |

i would say no because it would cause it would start confusion |

If the friend is qualified for the job, then there shouldn't be a problem. If the other employees cat about it, then that is a failing of theirs as people. |

i'd say no unless another supervisor is present so favortisim isn't a problem. |

Hiring the best friend...hmm...thats always difficult...

It's a very slippery slope. If the friend does bad and isn't fired then it's seen as favoritism. If they do very well and are promoted people will say it was not based on merit. I would avoid it if possible. |

well it depends...
Im a supervisor at Woolworths (a popular australian supermarket) and i've many people who are my friends that are beneath me including my best friend and all I can say is that they need to know that you are friends outside and collegues on the inside. |

Well I think it could go either way ive seen where a supervisor hired his best friend and they ended up fightin over everything |

i made the mistake once of referring a friend for a job in my company which he was subsequently offered (much thanks to the reference i gave him) .. he then had a whole bunch of personal issues, stuffed the company around and never took the job in the end.. made me look stupid and allowed people to question my judgement again.. no way would i recommend or hire a friend again... its not worth the risk.. |

Yes, there could be trouble ahead, but don't look for it before it shows up. Welcome the person and give them a chance to do their job properly. The supervisor knows this person better than you. If issues come up, deal with them professionally. If favoritism is shown, decide how much you can deal with or just start searching for another job. |
