Im a teacher at a high

school in Recife, lately

two of my closest

colleagues are having

problems with each

other. Should I side withone of them, or should I

remain neutral? Luiz

Mello, Recife - PE

This is a very trickysituation, and there is justno right way to act. Myadvice to you is to talk toboth of them, and try toresolve their issues. Maybethe whole situation was abig misunderstanding and

just talking to each otherwould be enough to solvethis pickle. If this doesn twork, you should try toremain neutral. It is nevergood to take sides,especially on the workplace.

This alternative alwaysleaves on party upset and,later on, you may regretyour decision.

02.Dear Mr. Leonardo, My

name is Julian. My bosskeeps asking me to goon a date. What shouldI do?

Mr. Julian, from Ibura deBaixo, Recife-PE

Dear Mr. Julian,Thank you for writing toThe Issue Magazine. Weappreciate yourparticipation. Unfortunatelywhat you are passingthrough is quite common inthe work environmentnowadays. Some peopledont know how to behaveand mix their personal lifeand business.

So, going straight to thepoint, are you interested ingoing out with her?If the answer is Yes, Idont see any problem withit, but you should try toseparate the personal andwork relationship.If the answer is No, youshould kindly deny it andtry to make her understandthat you are not interestedin taking your relationshipto other level.But if you are feeling, in any

way, a certain level ofembarrassment or pressurecoming from your boss, thiscan be considered as sexualharassment. This can bereally uncomfortable to theemployee and should betaken as a very seriouslymatter. Any case of sexualharassment must beinformed to the humanresources department sothey can take use of thecompany and legal

procedures to solve thisproblem once for all.I hope that what I have justexplained can help you todeal with your issue.

You must observe theutilities from both. The car

is a better choice for bigtrips and going out with allfamily. The motorcycle isgood when theres traffic onthe way to work everydayand makes you movefaster. You may analyze thebest option for you.
