Question

Generate some examples of embedded relationships (personal or historical). What are some of the pitfalls associated with these relationships?

Expert Solution
Step 1

I reside in a low populated area, it is the kind of area where everyone knows your name. I have worked with co-workers that grew up with our supervisor, and have been friends for 30 years plus, this relationship makes it hard for people outside of it to know when this plays into their favor or not. This is one of the pitfalls of this type of relationship when that employee makes a mistake or does not perform the job the way they should and does not get “punished” the same way as another person in the same position it is hard to not think that they are getting special treatment.
