"I'm sorry you didn't mention what the benefit structure is at your company. Erin took a job on the Q.T. while still on your boss's payroll. In the state where I live (California), that would be a reason to fire her. I do not regard enlightening your boss about what Erin did as deceitful. I think what you did was the right thing to do and loyal to the company."
"DEAR ABBY: I'm nearly 70, and suddenly I'm remembering things from the past that I haven't thought about in years - mostly conversations in which I wish I had responded differently. (I've never been really quick about responding to things.) Now they keep popping up, and I can't seem to stop thinking about what I wish I had said. I don't know why this is happening or how to stop it. - MEMORY-RIDDEN IN MICHIGAN"
A co-worker named Erin continued working from home after the COVID-19 pandemic while the rest of the team returned to the office. Her absence strained team dynamics and fueled resentment because others perceived unequal treatment. Erin secretly accepted a new job and asked a colleague not to tell the boss; the colleague informed the boss instead. The response noted that consequences depend on company benefit structure and state law, and suggested that informing the boss was not deceitful but loyal to the company. Separately, a nearly 70-year-old reader experiences recurring regrets about past conversations and was advised to redirect thoughts, occupy leisure time, accept the past cannot be changed, and learn from mistakes.
