This could potentially cause you and others a lot of problems if not careful, and guess who will be let go. I see this play out in my workplace. Your co workers will eventually pick up on this if it actually leads to something, and just will cause problems between you and them. If he gives you too much attention, people will wonder if you are getting special treatments or promotions. I would get over it as quick as I can.
A "boss" stopping by a subordinates office 2 or more times a day because he is doing his job. This is especially true with a new employee. It indicates NO personal interest.
Just wondering about the thought process that jumps to that conclusion.?
I don't know too many boss that actually do that though, you have middle management or a person between the boss and the new person. In my workplace the boss will never come out just to do that, they have people to check on the new person and keep them inform on their progress. I'm sure they can if they want to, but work area supervisors or the person who is in charge of training this new person will keep the boss up to date.
OP, do yourself a favor: Go after the cute neighbor you mentioned several posts ago. Better him than your boss - or any coworkers, for that matter. Romance needs kept out of the workplace!
I don't agree with ''Romance needs to be kept out of the workplace''. I know quite a few people that have had relationships when meeting from work, but usually it was in non-professional setting. Like two people working at a restaurant or department store or whatever. Not in a professional setting where there's an office.
But I do think she should stay away from her boss on that level, or he should stay away from her is more like it.
I work with two people who started a work place relationship. The guy was married at the time with two young kids, and the female was single and no previous marriage. The guy ended up divorcing his wife and married his coworker, I know and work with both of them. I don't like the situation at all as it relates to work. Everybody knew something was going on between the two of them, and they tried to hide it for the longest time. Then they were so hush hush about their marriage not a word. People started taking note of it after her name change on paper work around the work place.
That means that you actually think it means something that in 10 days time he came to YOUR office TWICE and spoke to you! HE"S YOUR BOSS! I should hope he talks to you! Why would you think that's any indication other than professional interest since he has to understand your role and your job?!
He didn't take your restaurant "hint" because it is unprofessional and has nothing to do with work and he doesn't like you that way.
If you're in your 30's you're way too smart for this. Get a grip...or you're gonna lose this job.
Is she? There are just some people who focus on romantic relationships to the detriment of the rest of their lives. Until they either mature or find relevance in other things, they will twist everything around to look this way.
