I have a really good mate who has been working for a furniture showroom for a couple of years and enjoys it. The pay isn't too good but she's ok with that. Her boss offered her a contract the other day which means that she qualifies for Spanish Social and health care. As she is carting on a bit it's well good for her and I was pleased that they had finally noticed her abilities.

However, there is this bloke who works alongside her who wants the position for his wife. As he already has a contract and should his wife get the same they will be able to cancel the expensive private scheme they have at the moment. He has really slagged my friend to the boss..........so much so that she feels it would be better for her to walk away.

She rang me today to ask my advice. I was so disgusted with the whole thing. I told her to rise above it, take the contract, carry on and ignore the pair of them. Was I right?
