• An office manager and bookkeeper for a small, family-run company offered to reduce her hours to part-time to allow the business to cut costs. This led her boss to decide that she needed to train his wife to cover for her on the days when she wasn't working.

  After months of training, the employee still felt like her boss's wife had not learned enough to be able to competently do her job. She found herself constantly fixing her mistakes. She felt like she needed to raise this with her boss, but she wasn't sure if this would be taken the wrong way.

• Would I be wrong telling my boss his wife cannot be taught to do my job?
