I've done this off and on for years. only really killed one friendship: had a guy working for me a one company, i left, got him a job at the next. and his gf. They both worked for me. We hung out a lot, went to the bars every thurs and sat for a year or so. Then I had to fire his gf because she wouldn't do shit. Just sat around in our beanbag room bullshitting with our eng staff.
Yeah, that was a bad day. 2 people let go in a 30m period. One for not doing shit, one for just being an all around fucktard.
I still talk to my friend occasionally. But its not a 'comfortable' thing.
On the other hand, the rest are great. People who respect you work well for you. People who fear you also tend to harbor ill feelings toward you.
