Be bold and make the right decision. Just make sure you’re ready for whatever your boss might throw at you in retaliation. Trust your gut!

Yep leverage the candidate you want to hire and just be strong. I’d rather risk having my boss be mad that I didn’t hire her friend (and hopefully they get over it) over the future drama I foresee of a supervisors bestie joining the company and ruining the workplace for you.
