I've well and truly learned that lesson. Asking for help is a personal and social dumpster fire.

I assume it can also be a professional get-out-of-jail-free card. At least the first time.
But yeah, I can imagine.

No your insights fail you again jon. The biggest detriment to my career was taking time off to get “help” actually. Otherwise everything else that happened was a blip on the radar. Never even got called into HR or written up in any way.

Actually Jon is right in one respect. That sort of thing can be very useful at warding off unpleasant consequences like, say, incarceration.

Let's not lose track of the most important lesson in this. Never hire a pool boy named Giancarlo. I mean, seriously, how dumb can you be?
It's as bad as hiring a 24-year-old Au Pair named Elsa or Gretchen...
Hiring a pool boy is bad enough, but if you do hire one, get someone with glass, acne, and named Milton...

Could be a way to remove threats of blackmail by the pool guy. He probably would see dollar signs about this.

Could be that, could also just be to preemptively discredit him in case he might go public with inconvenient facts about the Falwells.

In a claim likely to intensify the controversy surrounding one of the most influential figures in the American Christian conservative movement, a business partner of Jerry Falwell Jr has come forward to say he had a years-long sexual relationship involving Falwell’s wife and the evangelical leader.
Giancarlo Granda says he was 20 when he met Jerry and Becki Falwell while working as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in March 2012. Starting that month and continuing into 2018, Granda told Reuters that the relationship involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on.
Granda showed Reuters emails, text messages and other evidence that he says demonstrate the sexual nature of his relationship with the couple, who have been married since 1987. “Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda said in an interview. Now 29, he described the liaisons as frequent – “multiple times per year” – and said the encounters took place at hotels in Miami and New York, and at the Falwells’ home in Virginia.
His friendship with the Falwells eventually soured, Granda told Reuters, in part because he wanted to dissolve his ties with the couple and fell into a business dispute with them.

Falwell says that he went public because he was threatened with blackmail.

The word cuck is thrown around these days...
But then someone like Jerry comes along and reminds us of its true meaning.

Apparently he took back his resignation after resigning.
Perhaps he will resign, but remain on staff to watch his replacement do his job from a chair in the corner.

“The board put me on leave, took away my duties as prez, and that’s not permitted by my contract,” Mr. Falwell said Monday night. “And they put me on leave because of pressure from self-righteous people.“
Self-righteous people. He said that.
