Modern Dilemmas is a weekly series that tackles your ethical or moral quandaries.

What can happen when you report inappropriate office behaviour, and the offender is the husband of your boss?

A situation where professional and personal lines blur, this is the dilemma Katrina found herself in when advice and action taken had repercussions.

Each Friday we take a dilemma from your life to discuss, unravel, dissect and maybe even help solve it for you. Send your modern dilemma via email on the Life Matters web page or Facebook, ABC RN Lifematters or send us a voice memo.
