Husband must be too handsome for words

[AfterMyFella]

Perhaps that's an exaggeration, but even so.

DH did a visit today (out of office), and didn't update his boss that he had finished.

His boss just texted to ask if he was okay and got home safe.

DH said he did and went to go into detail about how things went (work related), and boss wasn't interested. Just wanted to make sure he got home okay and to have a lovely evening

Is this standard practise?

Piglet - he was on a course. It was green with eighteen holes.

My supervisor used to write " on a course" across the desk diary for the very same reason ( back in the day ).

@PigletJohn well he was on a course... just on a different type .

Mentalist

my candy urrrgh.

WTF is the problem? Boss wants to know his employee’s day was OK? What a cunt.

Yeah, pretty standard if someone’s been out alone on a site visit, or working early or late.

Really? My work involves going out pretty regularly for meetings, visits etc. I've known bosses to ask how it went, but never ever whether I've got home okay. Clearly I'm not beautiful enough, or perhaps they're hoping that for once I won't get home okay and they can get rid of me.

Did your husband sneak out with the sweet jar ?

I sent a text to my colleague last month when she was stuck in London due to the snow....I hope she doesn’t think I’m after her “candy”

panic I'm not genuinely annoyed!

I've always been treated like easily replaceable trash when working, despite my relentless efforts. Unless the boss fancied me, then I was top girl until it was clear I wasn't going to play along, and swiftly dropped

The more time I spend here the more I think some posters need a handbook to life.

Can't see an issue. That would be a pretty standard message between me and my colleagues.

A lot of companies will do this as part of their health and safety practice. It's to ensure the employee didn't run into trouble. It's common sense.

Have you heard of Suzy Lamplugh?

It's when the boss takes your DH to friendly neighbourhood restaurants to pull the Blonde ladies with big titties (sic) that you have to worry.

Your candy?
🤮

I think this is a bit homophobic frankly, may it’s policy, maybe he’s trying to be nice, but to insinuate your husbands boss has a crush on him because of one text is a bit much.

It depends on his job - if your DH is a bomb disposal officer then I assume his boss would know if he hadn't got home safely, if he's doing a more mundane job involving site visits then perhaps it's understandable.

Why in the name of fuck have you posted a photo of your DH with a potty on his head?

If this thread is meant to be a joke, I’m not getting it.

WTAF am I reading. I am genuinely unsure if this is in jest or not, can someone please explain as I am super confused. Is the op joking that she thinks her SO is being hit on by their boss or is this a serious thread? I'm so confused...

This is pretty standard. Me and my team work away from the office regularly and we always check people are home safely. We have a duty of care to our staff. We have a 'buddy' system.
Even if the boss does have an alterior motive surely it's only an issue if they become a nuisance or your DH acts upon it??

This thread is making my sleep deprived brain hurt. I can't pick up on the tone. Help me OP

Was the picture showing your husband with s child seat on his head? So confused!

Oh and you need to be more selective about where you work or put in complaints about your bosses. That is not normal

Glad it's not just me DropIt!

Well AfterMyFella I really don't think your husband's boss is AfterYourFella so relax. Btw are you drunk?

Fighting back the cringe, just to say.... this is totally normal. If I don’t “check in” once I’ve been out, then get distracted, I get missed calls, voicemails, emails and texts asking me to confirm I’m ok. It’s standard practice.

Why post the photo of your DH and then get it deleted shortly after? Is it because people weren’t gushing to agree with you that he’s ‘too handsome for words’?
