First boss told me “Don’t dip your pen in the company ink”
Missed a lot of “fun” by following that advice, then paid through the nose after I decided to ignore it.
A former boss of mine was told to move on for fraternizing with another employee. Neither were married, and she was not a subordinate. The affair was so sub rosa I wasn’t even aware it was going on.
My boss was well liked and respected but didn’t see eye to eye with his boss so that may have had something to do with his release. Whatever, the company was pretty good to him during his transition out so he was lucky in that regard.
“Don’t dip your pen in the company ink”
I was told “Don’t get your meat where you get your bread and butter”.
