Hey guys and gals,

I'm one of your RSS lurkers and I love the blog! Thanks for the fantastic content!



While I'm not in the same position as your friend, I've recently gone through some of the same paycheck delays. It's awful! Were I in the same spot, I would leave. Politics have no place in the office. Especially involving individuals with a back-stabbing tendency. I know they'll always be there, but Tiff can make a definitive effort to find somewhere else to work.



From what it sounds like, Tiff is a competent and valuable employee and would make any organization a better place. What's the harm in putting out the feelers for another full-time position? I would probably recommend against announcing it to the company she currently works for, but I have a feeling she wouldn't have a problem finding another permanent position in short order. I'm assuming she's a software engineer of some sort (you mentioned coding) and those types of jobs are in pretty high demand right now.



Though, a good pencil through the eyeball might get the point across a little more quickly. :)
