My husband and I once owned a small company with two employees in addition to ourselves. One was the bookkeeper and the other was a former student of mine we trained to do maintenance and basic repairs on the machines we serviced. We were the three musketeers. The bookkeeper was well paid. It was not personal or intended to hurt her and I don't know if she was aware of how we felt or not. If so, she never complained about it.
I'm not saying it's okay. I'm saying it evolves.
