I can see both sides, so I will play devil's advocate. What if her personal actions start affecting business? What if clients start withdrawing their contracts or take their business elsewhere? Do you get involved then? Would it be too late if it got to that point?
This is what I am concerned with. We have already had comments about her from clients about her partying and other things she does in her off time.
Don't get me wrong, I really don't care what she does, but when I have people calling me telling me that people are talking and showing photos, and yes, some of them are current clients, It makes me wonder.
We are in a conservative area and a small enough town that it can impact things.
I am a manager in an office of 5. There is a senior manager above me. We work in a small town in a well known office. We are professional and deal in the financial industry. Much of our business comes from personal connections and referrals. The other manager and my income is mostly commission.
One of the employees here is a single mom that is having fun sowing her wild oats. She is 30, but is having fun banging college age kids. We hear frequently about her adventures.
I got a call over lunch today from someone who told me that Employee has been trying to get the attention of this 19 year old. So much so, that she sent him pics of her in nothing but a thong. He showed his boss and as guys do, it is spreading around.
I haven't said a word. I bounce back and forth between personal life is personal life, but when business is affected by things we do in public or things that become public - it's hard to not think about how it affects business.
What do you think? Should I address it with her? Shut my mouth?
