I'm a banquet chef, so my busiest day is Saturday with weddings. I have a high school friend getting married this Saturday, and therefore requested the day off, which was okayed by my immediate supervisor, the Exec. Chef. There are three large weddings booked at my place of work this Saturday, so they'll be VERY busy and hectic. The Food and Beverage Director (the exec chef's boss) is very upset that I will not be there, and told the exec chef to find out when the last time I talked to my friend was, how we were friends, and how close we were. Does any of this even matter? Is the F & B director out of line for requesting this information? It is very frustrating to me to work your *** off for someone, and then, when you ask a favor, to get this kind of response.

Yes, he is. But not to excuse him, I could understand. When you are the boss and depend on you employees to get the job done, you can see how many people abuse their rights. Go to your friend wedding and have a good time!

It's called desperation! He fully knows that if these banquets do not go off as planned, his reputation and that of the company could and probably would be tarnished. Word spreads fast after functions like this! He's just trying to cover his a**. Try and understand where he's coming from, but if this is truly a good friend, then go and have a good time.

Your boss is out of line. If you asked for the day off and it was granted then the reason you got it is none of there business. I understand they are busy and they would love to have you working because they can rely on you but you are entitled to personal days as well. Just stand your ground and relax and enjoy your friends wedding. Besides it sounds like they cant afford to loose you.

you're precisely precise. that is unethical on your boss to hold your guy or woman relationship with an worker as reason of you to fireplace her extremely than your boss. in case you're no longer charged with the accountability of firing different workers than you're able to no longer carry the accountability of firing this worker the two, in spite of the relationship. Noone likes firing human beings and in reality your boss is making an attempt to take income of you to keep some awkward moments. i might propose civilly telling your boss which you do no longer sense that is suitable so you may be the only firing her because you do no longer carry that style of place in the place of work. Assuming your stepdaughter is extremely youthful, i might additionally raise the reality that she will have the flexibility to no longer learn from those "errors" if she would not hear approximately them firsthand.

Well- I fully understand your frustration and he is out of line to ask such questions. In the future any such requests you may have- do it in writting and request response in writting. This way you have something on paper as back up. But then again that will reflect on the opinion that mgr will have on you- in terms that how important is your job for you and are you willing to risk it for this? Do you have these situations happening often or this is the first time you had such a problem taking the day off? It is unfair to you that you have to go through this but then again how far are you willing to go in disputing it?

While he is a little out of line, he is probably just really stressed! What you could possibly do is offer to work a little extra on Friday, there are probably hundreds of small things that can be done ahead of time to make Saturday go smoother.

Yes. The F&B director is trying to dig into your private life, which is none of his business.
