Ok. So went out to a pub tonight for a drink.
In walks my 'current' boss. She sees me I know she does does an about turn and completely blanks me (turns her back to me)
Am I BU to be upset?
what drives people like this?
I would never be this rude. Probably explains why I will never be a 'Boss'

I won't lie. It did throw me a bit. Sad

YABU she doesn’t want to socialise with you.

Yanbu. A polite head nod/wave just to acknowledge is fine. No need to be sipping away and trying to make small talk when neither of you want to.

Maybe it says more about her than you.

After how she behaved, I definitely wouldn't want to socialize with her.
She showed her true colors.

Maybe there to meet someone she'd rather work colleagues didn't know about? Our maybe she couldn't face any work talk for done reason

Is she generally ok in work? If so, I'd say it's probably not personal and just forget it.

Are you absolutely sure she saw you?

I wear contact lenses for work, but don't when I'm going out. I wouldn't be able to see someone's features clearly across a room. (A few metres away).

Why 'current' boss?
Why the inverted commas?
Enquiring minds want to know.

I'm pretty sure she saw me.
She does have form for favoritism.

I wouldn't expect her to make small talk outside of work necessarily but I do think it's rude to not even acknowledge you. That's just basic manners surely?

I must admit, I am probably fairly low down on her food chain.
Hence the snotty ignorance.

She dealt with it badly but could there be an element of her thinking you wouldn't want your boss there when you were trying to unwind? As a boss myself I've definitely tried to be empathetic to the fact my team were unlikely to really relax with me there no matter how well we got on.

Really?
It was a pub.
Would it have killed her to say Hello?
I tried to catch her eye, but to no avail.

Are you there with work colleagues?
Is she talking to them?
When you say she’s now your boss is one of you New?

No, not why current, why the inverted commas.

Report
icenasliceplease · 19/01/2018 22:03

Inverted commas are because she is my boss at this moment.

Maybe she didn’t actually see you.

Maybe she did see you and turned away quickly hoping you didn’t see her. Maybe she feels guilty but maybe she’s had enough of work!

Who knows. Better to think the best of people that the worst.

She might be like my dh and not want to socialise outside work. But absolutely no excuse not to say hello.

Is she having an affair with one of your colleagues and about to meet them?

icenasliceplease · 19/01/2018 22:12

in the grand scheme of things I don't give a shit.
But I can't help thinking that in the land of Real, what makes an egotistical {boss} person get to such a stage that they think it's OK to be rude to someone.
Ignoring is rude.

If she definitely saw you then it's rude to not even smile or say a quick hello. Personally I'd pretend it never happened, I wouldn't mention it. Also although not nice it's not worth being upset about.
