Recently, a dear friend called to explain that her Mother may be getting a job in her department. Although she understands that after her Mom's downsizing, she really wanted to get back to work. However, my friend is concerned because she feels that her Mom working in her same dept., may be a little to close-for-comfort. Although she loves her Mom, she feels that this may not be a good move. What should she do? Her Mom is partially excited about the opportunity BUT has admitted that if it will be a problem for her daughter she will continue to look elsewhere. Do you think my friend is being selfish or should be concerned? How would you handle this?
Serious inquires only please!

Well it is tough to have a parent working at your work place. But this is the best way to handle. It is obvious that her mother understands this might raise difficulties for her daughter, shows that she cares. So for now lets not look at it as a problem because really it isn't one right now. I think she should let her mom work until it starts to get really awkward if it does then she should respectfully talk to her mom about looking for another job. Remember who you are today is how you are remembered tomorrow. Sit back relax and just see what happens. Then go with it.

If this job is important to the daughter, the mother should back off. A mother should never take an opportunity away from her child. Tell your friend that she should talk to her mother. Let her know that she doesn't feel comfortable with the situation. If the mother is a good mother, she will understand and back off.
Why in the world would the mother even apply for that job, knowing the situation?

A lot of places frown upon relatives working together. So it may come down to another department
My daughter and I worked together I was accually her boss.
We made an agreement at work I was not mom, she was not daughter.
She addressed me by my first name
I had no problem with that

i'd say operating jointly is a foul idea. there are various jobs accessible for her mom. operating jointly might want to steer on to a hurtful situation that would by no potential be resolved. i do not imagine that's extremely well worth the prospect.
