When to be a boss and a friend

Well, I’m not a boss..yet.  But this thought has been bugging me ever since my boss who was my former teacher suddenly decided to be do some small talk with me yesterday.  It was about a coworker who has been doing below mediocre work ever since he got divorced from his wife of 5 years.  When she relayed that to me, I realized why he was almost always absent.

My boss said that she was on the verge of firing the guy because he has frequent absences and his work was always of poor quality for the past 2 months.
