Argh, my ethics got in the way again! Yesterday I was told to interview a guy; it was the friend that I put in contact with HR. I had to tell my manager that it was a conflict of interest because not only was he a friend, I stood to make some cash if he were hired. Bummer, it would have been easy and profitable to give my friend a glowing review.
There are times that having ethics are a real pain in the wallet!
