I referred my ex for an open position at work. My current gf also works with the same company but at another store, was this a bad idea?

Is she hot?

Nevermind. I just looked at your profile.

my ex of 3 years and myself are friends and we get along ok, its been just over 2 years since we broke up now. My current gf and I have been together for 8 months, she wasn't too stoked meeting my ex a few months back.

Anyway, my gf and I work at opposite stores, and my ex would probably work at the same store as me or another store opening soon.

I got weird looks from managers today after my ex left the interview. Am I digging myself a really shitty grave?

@carlo huh? I have no pics of my ex or my current gf on my profile, whatre you talking about?

doesn't sound like a good idea. too late, though

I think it's fine. You're just doing a favor for a friend, right?

I think you'd be well served to tell your current gf what's going on. If she finds out from others that you've referred the ex, she may well start wondering if something's afoot.

@andilawher, yes, exactly, she is a friend so that works

@ABNA (i rofl'd as i said it), i told my gf tonight that she applied and i referred her etc, i think overall my ex was more worried about my current GF not being happy than my GF was about it overall.

so long as they dont work at the same store and my ex doesn't get hired as a manager over my gf things should be ok!

i'm voting that this may not have been the best idea

i dunno, i think it depends on how closely in contact you will be with her while you work. my ex boyfriend lives next door to me and thats totally cool, but apparently he might be subletting from my roommate this summer and that kinda weirds me out. mostly because he's dating an old friend of mine that is ironically no longer a good friend because she falsely accused me of trying to go after her exes. but i think it'd be a bit strange no matter what. so i think it all depends on interaction level.
