Lena ... how do you know they are not going to give you the sack?

[umidis]

Do what a true Cypriot would do and don't tell them a thing, then when time to leave comes near take a months pay in advance and fly back to Cyprus.

Only joking, let me put it this way. Do you really need the extra cash, if you are gonna leave in the near future?

Being honest if I were in your position, I would act according to how happy I was with my boss and job, if he was good to me, I would tell him. If I hated his guts I would do the above .

If its immoral but wont make anyone suffer you choose to do the wrong thing Niki mou?

What is your definition of the 'wrong thing'? If it was the million pounds on the roadside and if I didn't end up in prison yes!

When I say wrong thing I mean the opposite of moral things or follow some rules. For example, with what you said, keeping the money knowing that is not yours is not moral, but you said you were going to keep it. How you could find out if those money belong to a poor guy or not? A poor wont have a million pounds or else he was not going to be poor so you think that those money might come from a rich guy so you keep the money. What if a guy who work for this rich person had to transfer the money and lost them etc etc...the moral thing is to hand those money to the police if you cannot find out who had those money at first place.

Those things might be from eating chocolate when you are on diet to having an affair when you are married to keep they money you found etc etc.

...and this is the key! You may think "sod it, I'll keep the money/have the affair" but the guilt would play on your mind and you would forever be unsettled about your decision.

I would put up with the guilt for a million tho!

Ok the reason I were asking...before you all nice people think I am about to have an affair....is that I have an interview for a job this week with my boss...as weird as that sound. I ve been working as a part timer and now I guess they want to offer me a permanent job. So my dilemma is do I hide the truth and take the job for few months until I manage to leave UK and earn more money or do I tell the truth with the chance of loose the opportunity of getting that job? So is not going to affect anyone as I said but what should I choose honesty or job?

Tough decision.

If you took the job on you would feel guilty and never settle but if you don't they will see you're not serious anyway and this would affect your position in the company.

If you took the job and ended up staying for a little longer this would be good experience and would add to your CV but it would look bad on your CV if you let the employers down by taking the job when you knew you wouldn't be staying.

I would carry on with the interview with the mindset you want this job if only for experience. They may not offer you the job anyway. If they have any experience at all to be honest they will be able to see that you are not planning your future in the UK. Go ahead and have the interview, you won't lose anything!

I was rubbish at sacking people. I was more upset than they were!

... Believe me they would have had to be a major pubic health risk for me to go hard on them!

Yet, I had male colleagues that were literally high during "re-shuffling" time

If my daughter asked me the same question I would most certainly advice her to be honest at her interview,
there is far more to life than a few months work , integrity and self respect must be taken into account , besides you will always have to live with your decision but your employers wont !!
