"My friend is down on his luck and has applied to work at the company where I work. He asked me to put in a good word with the boss. I'm torn about what to do. I desperately want to help, but know I can't recommend him because of his past track record. He is barely employable because of his attitude. What would you do if you were me? Make the recommendation or not? He is practically begging me to help him. I don't want the recommendation to blow back on me if things go south."
