I can't believe I missed this a few days ago. Very interesting thread.  My last job, work  and personal life were kept separate.  The boss asked me twice to go get his lunch because I was supposed to see the client, who owned a restaurant, for him but he bought me lunch in return.  I did not make his coffee either. We both decided on that, since I did not drink coffe but he did. He made it himself.  When he hired 2 new workers, they bent over backwards to do everything for him, yes, including making his coffee, getting him lunch each chance they got.  One of them even made him birthday cake.  I did his filing for him and was accused of making brownie points, hey, I was doing my job, right? Anyway, my boss and I kept the relationship business and knew and respected the boundaries where the other girls tried hard to be friends with him as well as their employer. I agree in keeping things business and personal separate.  I am currently working for a friend who is also my boss and it is hard.  This person was my friend first and I regret working for them.  You tend to see them in a different perspective.
