pegleg inspired Poll: Would you go to work for a friend who became a multi-millionaire? or if you were the millionaire, would you hire a friend?

I'm torn. It would seem like a "strained" new relationship between the two parties, easily breakable.

Responses:

I'd have my butler or office manager take care of employee relations. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 29, 16:50
no, I have a hrad enough time taking advantage of their services for free or nominal payment, let alone hiring them to work for me. -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 16:47
Do you mean the old friends I leave behind like a bunch of sorry suckers or the new ones I buy? -- nm - con_carne Mar 29, 16:43
nope, but we'd party like rock stars either way -- nm - CQ: 21, 22. Whatever it takes Mar 29, 16:42 4

  - dude, I'd hire znufrii as the bartender so he'd have to deal with us 2 being drunken asses. -- nm - CQ: 21, 22. Whatever it takes Mar 29, 16:44 2
    - he'd quit after 4 hours -- nm - CQ: 21, 22. Whatever it takes Mar 29, 16:45 1

Depends on the arrangement. If *I* was the millionaire, I'd pull a Mr Finch. :) - Beryllium Mar 29, 16:41
Bob for pastry chef :) -- nm - peglegpete Mar 29, 16:36
of course I would hire my friends. they know their new jobs would be to keep me entertained. they wouldn't work because I would need people to hang - dogbert Mar 29, 16:35
Probably not. -- nm - Bacon Mar 29, 16:28
it depends on the friend -- nm - peglegpete Mar 29, 16:27
I think pixie will make a fine Turtle -- nm - crash davis Mar 29, 16:23 1
- Ha ha! Pixie's your friend! -- nm - con_carne Mar 29, 16:36
If they knew what they were doing, sure. If it was a Entertainment 720 kind of operation, no. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 29, 16:22
Depends on the friend but I'd probably do it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 29, 16:22
hiring friends is one of those things they advise against. I knew someone who hit big in fashion in the 70's, said her biggest mistake was hiring - zeitgeist Mar 29, 16:21 4
- her other mistake was not coming up with anything that new and had really only one buyer (nordstrum) - zeitgeist Mar 29, 16:24 3
  - Her friends were working in the sweatshop? -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 29, 16:26 2
    - He's friends with Kathy Lee Gifford? -- nm - Bacon Mar 29, 16:29
    - that was my phrase, it wasn't that bad but she wasn't paying much better than minimum wage -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 16:28
