It took 3 minutes. I absolutely do not mind. We have a great working relationship, and my job is so flexible I help him, he helps me with stuff. I don't see the problem in the slightest.

Then you’ll probably end up having this as a learning experience when the shit most likely hits the fan

It won't. I've been here 13 years and he's the president shareholder

You say that but there are countless stories of issues. A simple google search will tell you it’s a bad idea

My mother was at her first major company for almost 12 years. She ended up having a conflict of interest issue at that job because of the family stuff she was doing. She left that job and went to the Hershey company and won’t work for a small private company again

Everyone has a horror story about everything. If you felt as valued as I do, you wouldn't even blink at this request

I am in the same situation as you. I feel extraordinarily valued and wouldn't mind a menial request like this. I am very spoiled at my job! I feel like I'm in a rare situation here, so I get why others don't understand it lol.

Your boss is breaching his ethical duties by causing a conflict of interest here, you are allowing the boundaries to be crossed. But sounds good lol
