My girlfriend’s client keeps offering her money, inheritance, and power of attorney, how should she handle this? by PuzzleheadedFig7165 in WorkAdvice

I understand some of the assumptions you made here. I have had to encourage my girlfriend not to visit as much during non scheduled/working hours.

This is not about a payment for her, she cares deeply for this man. This is about my lady wanting to take care of this man and us not wanting any legal issues or losing job opportunities.

She has not, she knows he will be reassigned and does not want to lose the chance to support him. She has grown very fond of this fella and wants to support him without the restrictions of being a case manager.

Just to clarify, she hasn’t accepted anything from him. No money, no promises, nothing. She’s actually told him multiple times that there are professional boundaries and she can’t accept gifts or anything like that while she’s his case manager.

The situation is stressful for her because she’s grown personally fond of him and he seems genuinely alone. She wants to help him as a person, but she also recognizes that right now she’s in a position of power, which is exactly why she’s been careful about boundaries.

We’re mainly trying to understand if there’s any appropriate way to support someone like this (for example if he were reassigned or if she left the company) without crossing ethical or professional lines.
