A buddy of mine... let's call him "Fred," has a job called "A." Fred is also in a lucrative position of being a board member, that pays more than A. Job A does not know about the position Fred has on the board, as it's not job A's business to know and Fred can do the job effectively regardless.
A has a special meeting come Friday. There is also an extremely important board meeting this Friday that Fred can't miss and will not miss.
Fred sees three options: 1) Call in sick, piss folks off for missing an important meeting at job A, and hope for the best. 2) Reveal the board position, but possibly deal with questions over dual employment/ conflict of interest (there are none) and/or sabotage future career in the field. 3) Kill myself
Side note: Job A's leadership is a bit controlling...
