The Wrong Type Of Favor

Supporting a friend shouldn't include putting an innocent person in harm's way.

This is not only an unfair thing to do but it is even worse because she was already putting herself on the line to help your friend. 

Christians,

Although we want to be supportive of our friends in their times of need, be careful not to support a friend who refuses to do what is clearly right at the expense of an innocent person they are trying to put in harm’s way.  Imagine a friend at work is idly texting for about 20 minutes and isn’t able to finish a presentation (which isn’t even very hard work in this case) in time that needs to be completed for a major meeting that day.  The manager realizes this could cost her her job but decides to give your friend one more chance and explain to him how serious the situation is and how it jeopardizes her own job. 

Your friend is aggravated by what he sees as the manager’s “ultimatum” and asks you to submit an email to a higher-up a little after he does.  It should fabricate a scenario that this manager is being too strict and is causing a number of people to think about quitting.

That favor could cause the manager to come under scrutiny in an embarrassing and upsetting way for a fabricated reason when she wasn’t doing anything wrong.  This is not only an unfair thing to do but it is even worse because she was already putting herself on the line to help your friend.  It’s the wrong type of favor.
