Not the OP, but mixing employment with friendship can be difficult to navigate.

I know from personal experience that is is possible for a friendship to survive adverse shocks involving money. But it is difficult, it does change things permanently, and it seems rare that it survives at all.

This is only true if you both dont either have eachother as a priority or act hypocritically in light of that stated value.

Losing $100 to a false friend is a great way to pay your enemies to get lost.

I'm thinking specifically of a situation where things were much less clear-cut, and involved far more than $100.

It is easy to make grand declarations. But when ethical considerations are not very clear-cut and you're talking real pain, you really figure out what a friendship is worth.
