1121: Ethics Expire with Doctor's Desire | Feedback Friday
Fri, 28 Feb 2025
A friend slept with a mentally ill patient, got caught in a web of manipulation, and calls you judgmental for questioning her ethics. It's Feedback Friday! And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday: You discovered your friend, a physician, had a 2.5-year affair with a mentally ill, drug-addicted patient. When the relationship turned abusive and eventually was exposed, your friend lost her job and had her medical license suspended. Now she's accusing you of victim-blaming when you express concern about her ethics. Where's the line between accountability and compassion? Your immigrant parents were physically and emotionally abusive, and you played a key role in raising your siblings. Now your family treats your husband warmly while maintaining a cold relationship with you. Your husband, who relies on your support with his own difficult family, doesn't stand up for you. How do you navigate this painful dynamic? Your company of 15 years is relocating headquarters to a major metropolis, and you must decide whether to move with them or stay put. Only 10-20% of employees are expected to relocate, and the severance package requires staying until a specific date. Do you jump ship now, or wait it out in a potentially deteriorating work environment to secure your severance? Recommendation of the Week: Baylen Out Loud You previously wrote in about being catfished by your wife's cousin's boyfriend who was using his ex-girlfriend's photos. Now there's been a major development: the cousin discovered his messaging and kicked him out, revealing his pattern of using those photos to "test" men's fidelity. Despite these red flags, you're still drawn to him and considering pursuing a connection. Is this worth the risk? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Chapter 1: What happened during Jordan's home break-in incident?
And she goes, it's a hot tub on an elevated platform. And he goes, nice.
Cut to you in the hot tub with all these cops. Yes, all the cops. Reviewing not just the security footage from a couple hours before, but like for the last several weeks.
Exactly. It was quite funny. And they leave and they go, again, really nice, really nice house. Really, really nice home you got here. And I was just like, if anybody said that and it wasn't a police officer, you'd be a little bit like, okay. Did you break into my home an hour ago?
I mean, that would explain why they arrived in four minutes.
Oh, they were already there? Yeah, they're like, uh, park a block away. Yeah.
It would explain the response time. It would explain the reflective shoes. These people don't have to worry about getting caught.
That's right. They were super cool, super professional. I was really impressed by that. And it does make you feel a lot better. And it makes, on the flip side, when you hear about people having bad experiences with the police, it makes you feel really bad for them because it would have felt horrible if they came and they were like, pfft. Yeah, someone broke in, huh? Looks like an inside job to me.
You know, and you hear about that stuff online. You read about that stuff online where cops treat people like they're the criminal after they call them. If that happened, that would feel horrible. So since that did not happen, the opposite happened.
It actually felt really good and really sort of you feel like the police have your back, which is probably the only thing that can make you feel comfortable again in a situation like this. So shout out to San Jose PD for their help. And I know it's hard to get these guys. You can't like buy police things. It doesn't, you're not allowed to do that directly. There's some sort of monetary thing.

Chapter 2: How did the police handle the break-in situation?
So his investment is beautiful and is logical. But this might be one of those tea leaves that you just mentioned, Jordan. Time to notice when your attachment to this place is not always being reciprocated or reflected by your employer. And maybe that'll also make it easier for you to know when to leave, when to make this decision.
Yeah, I don't get it. This is going to be one of those things where they find out later, like private equity actually acquired the company and they were going to fire everyone. And this is just an easier, cheaper way to not do that.
Or they're positioning the company for private equity and they're just trying to slash costs. Could be. Right. Yeah.
Yeah. And good point, by the way, because like why torture yourself with sentimentality? Why worry about how you're going to stay motivated when your company is really just trying to get rid of everyone in clean house? That energy might be misplaced. I get it. All change hurts. But on that note, I would encourage you to become as friendly as possible with uncertainty.
You strike me as a guy who likes to plan, who likes to control, who likes to know. I'm the same way, so I get it. But the older I get, the more I realize what a fool's errand that actually is. It's a little terrifying to accept, but we're in control of so little in life. And it's important to know when to control and when to just allow.
But that's why it's so important to focus on the handful of things that you do control. Your body, your mind, your story, your relationships. And you have to do that not knowing exactly where they're going to take you and how those dots are going to connect up. But they always do. Trust that taking care of those things will take care of you. And I know you'll be great. Good luck.
And now, some exhilarating deals that won't blow up your entire life. We'll be right back. I've got homes.com as a sponsor for this episode. Homes.com knows when it comes to home shopping, it's never just about the house or the condo. It's about the homes. And what makes a home is more than just the house or property. It's the location. It's the neighborhood.
If you've got kids, it's also schools, nearby parks, transportation options. That's why homes.com goes above and beyond to bring home shoppers the in-depth information they need to find the right home. It's so hard not to say home every single time. And when I say in-depth information, I'm talking deep.
Each listing features comprehensive information about the neighborhood, complete with a video guide. They also have details about local schools with test scores, state rankings, student-teacher ratio. They even have an agent directory with the sales history of each agent. So when it comes to finding a home, not just a house, this is everything you need to know all in one place, homes.com.
