I hired her, but now she's embarrassing me.
  • I don't think she's after your job

    I think she's just nervous, and it's amplifying her quirkiness. Focus on the great job she's doing, and how qualified she is. That's what you need out of an assistant, right? So what if she's a little too weird for your corporate culture. I used to have a client whom everyone thought was really weird. When I got to know her, I found out that she was a brilliant writer when she wasn't slogging away at a database. Give her a chance. If she starts stealing office supplies or if her weirdness starts to interfere with her work, can her. Weird people need jobs, too, and they're the spice of life.
