I won a Q1 award along with a few others and one of the ‘prizes’ was a lunch with the MD at a fairly posh local restaurant. This took place yesterday.
I was shocked by how the MD spoke about various subjects. I’ve had minimal dealings with him but was so taken aback.
A comment about the change in catering supplier at our office - says it’s healthier now and ‘that’s reflected in the waistlines of many of our colleagues’ and that he was considering making a weight watchers subscription a flexible benefit!
He said he has been doing these lunches for years but had to change venue due to a previous restaurant being part of a hotel which temporarily hosted asylum seekers. It re-opened but he says he won’t attend out of principle and then went on a rant about the government being woke and rolling out the red carpet!
His other comment was about ‘dole dossers’ and saying his SIL is a lazy sod. Just bizarre.
AIBU to be a tad perplexed?!
