I just had one of my employees come into my office and ask what I thought about her applying for a job listed in the paper.
![]() Maybe I'm just old school. What do you guys and gals think?

Agreed. Either she's just stupid, or she's only half-stupid and thinks it will help her get more money from you. Either way = FAIL.

I had this happen. While I wasn't pissed,I wasn't exactly happy. I told my guy to do what he needed to do. I then set up interviews at his shop, in case I had to replace him.

What type of job is it?
How old is she? What is your relationship like? Generally it would be taboo but if she is young she may asking you as a friend or father figure or mentor rather than a boss. ![]()

What he said. Depending on the relationship, I have spoken with past bosses about this type of thing to get their insight and advice without negative connotations.

If shes angling for a raise like that, I'd let her go. Thats tacky and inappropriate.
A really great boss has not only the companys well being in mind but also their employees. Is she in a dead end position? No room for improvement? Would it make for a better future for her to move on from where she's at? |

I don't think she was angling for a raise. Maybe she's just naive. Who knows?

I've applied for jobs within my company just to get my managers attention.
