A colleague of mine told me our employer's wife has tested positive for covid and employer has been hounding me and another colleague to meet up with him for lunch for face time as we have all been wfh since March. We've never had a virtual meeting, most of our contact is via telephone and email and it's worked out ok for us as we're a small company anyway. Employer seems to be under the impression that we don't chat much with the colleague who knows about his wife and that he should be isolating.
I thought employer was just trying to be funny when he first mentioned meeting up and I didn't tell him our other colleague had told me about his wife having covid. It's beginning to really bother me because he has been hounding me for 3 days straight about meeting up with him. I played dumb and asked if he wanted the other colleague to come as well and he said no need because he may not want to come which I thought was his way of saying don't even ask him. I thought he'd pick up on that I've been informed about his wife's positive test by suggesting the colleague. This colleague was invited to employers house to pick up a computer and asked to come in the house to get it to which he obviously denied to. Is it just me being paranoid or is my employer trying to deliberately expose us to covid.
It makes me wonder if there are any other people out there going out knowing full well they have covid or been in contact with someone positive and should be isolating. I'm actually really angry and will have to out my colleague and tell employer why I refuse to see him due to his wife bring positive
