I work in a small office and me and the owner are the only men. I would still have to do expense reports and reimbursement, so I just use mine (fortunate to have an accounting team that reimburses expenses within one week) for the points/rewards. After the first three months I scheduled his flights automatically with dates, times, seating arrangements etc he liked. Probably, being a CEO, he will appreciate your initiative if you approach the conversation respectfully and frame it in terms of your problem-solving abilities. Which is probably a dumb reason and has nothing to do with Venmo directly, but I still wont bother using it. I was in this exact situation at work. I could be a 20-something Venmo enthusiast (Im not) and I would still find that incredibly rude. But when I asked him to get me a muffin, he refused. (This was back in the day when bosses werent afraid to tell companies that they fired people, and they werent afraid to include the reasons, and if they didnt give the whole story, well, the potential hirers didnt care. Just say it casually. Youll be happy to keep placing the orders but from now on, you need to use someone elses card or a company card. However, if one feels that way, one needs to pony up the cash for their meal or otherwise reimburse the person doing the heavy-lift on your lucnh order. Lots of ppl bought me coffee too. Yeah push back on this lunch stuff, you definitely do NOT want this to become what youre known for around the office. I agree with you, Wait, What. Well, thats awfully unkind and oblivious to power dynamics. This would be a last resort if your office is extremely dysfunctional. But if OPs boss doesnt want to do Venmo, he could.I dont knowgive her cash, each time. My comments werent focused on racism, sexism, privilege, colorblindness, etc., but rather the danger of buying into absolutes. I read this blog almost daily and it is interesting and useful. Groceries already cost quite a bit if youre trying to eat healthy. Im mean I disagree but I suppose if thats how they feel. (Happened to my mothers ex-colleague who Im friends with.). Its not okay to engage in generational bashing here, of any generation. Thats really not going to go over well with this persons BOSS. They lock it and takes 1-2 weeks to get it unlocked. I hate the way peoplewho are perceived to be a certain way (ie, rich, poor, skin color, background, ethnicity, region)are publicly crammed into little pigeonholes. And if they do laugh and say good luck, then you know to start getting the money upfront instead of expecting reimbursement. started at ground and worked their way up. I worked as a catch-all project manager but also assistant to the executive of my department for a few years. It would also color my opinion about her general critical thinking abilities. I honestly dont think it crosses his mind to wonder who paid for the meal, and I have a sneaking suspicion its often because my other colleagues simply pay for him. Or check? Just ask! Nope, not okay! Or stop going out altogether. Fifty-nine percent confided in their work spouse about problems at home, and more than a third discussed their sex life with their work spouse. Its insanely obvious that when food is ordered, a cost is involved. He probably just thinks someone is treating when hes invited to join. :). Thanks! Dont tell me that Fergus thought that Wakeen was using a company card. But I always remained conscious of the younger people in the company and what we ask them to put up financially. Its a story because the person doesnt know thats the reason why. You can see from all the stories here that the CEO could have a wide variety of motivations and reactions. Ive actually started to view it as part of my job to be the person who is brave enough to just be candid with them. As a boomer whos FAR more tech-savvy than any of my millenial/GenX/whatever colleagues, thats a really good way to lose all credibility with the people who are, in fact, likely to be your supervisors/bosses/C-level execs for the foreseeable future. Ive had the people come in with Its so unfair that X has been done to me for Y reason for months! 5pm email: Hi Bashful I picked up my lunch when you werent there and have been tied up ever since. Herman the dinner organizer) said Clara will be responsible for figuring out the tab, because shes the youngest person at the table. Clara (a 22-year old intern) looked like a deer in the headlights, so I jumped in an said Id do it. There are people who would try that, but theyre relatively rare, particularly with this kind of power dynamic in play so until and unless he flatly refuses to pay, theres no reason to assume that will happen. You say I cant afford to pay for lunches and ask everyone to prepay. If eating out for lunch isnt mandatory, then ordering it should rotate. To the OP, it seems like it should be obvious to the CEO what is going on because its going on outloud with everyone else every time. He never offers to buy us lunch. Healy, whose work has been highlighted in the "Ladies' Home Journal" series "Can This Marriage Be Saved?," said the husband and wife entrepreneurs she counseled did end up getting back together and salvaging their business -- without the manager. We are in an open office space with our CEO, but he seems to be entirely oblivious to these conversations. A few times, my rich boss wouldnt give me money. This wont help you get paid for the balance owed, but in the future you may want to collect the money BEFORE you place the order and put it on your card. There is no way around that. This is the reason I refuse to be the lunch lady at work unless its part of my job description. A simple conversation like I am unable to put these expenses on my debit card today can you give me the business credit card for the order? would be an easy solution, if applicable. No, thats a pretty valid reason IMO. 4. I then sent an email to my boss and other co-workers, saying that I appreciated all of the freebies he gives us, but that I alone couldnt afford to pay for all his lunches. Assume as the junior person you are responsible for following up with the CEO on CEOs obligations, and provide a clear reminder: Hi boss! And this is how much you owe. Didnt help my boss pay up. If he doesnt want to trust an app, I would think at least cash should still be a legal option. Dont judge someone by the fact that they dont want to use an electronic payment app, its pretty common. At this moment, what is your strongest emotion? Is there a way to play an xbox game from scratch without having to delete data/history? Its the most junior employee in the office asking the CEO for cash. I completely agree Im a young Boomer (age 55) and I have Venmo, Insta, Snapchat, etc. So no, it wouldnt be terrible to resign in the middle of your managers maternity leave. You could be catching up over lunch, or having a business discussion. 2. I would love to be able to simply Venmo charge him, but alas he has made it clear that he is anti-Venmo (what?). I dont have a problem with the junior person doing the ordering, but I dont see why they cant say, Im not able to put the entire order on my personal card, what should I do? and leave it at that. If you really want to generate good will, you could offer to be available for a phone call or two with your replacement after you leave, but even that is optional. I cant imagine the points or perks of the card are in way close to the hassle of chasing people to pay her back? But overall?? If youre junior in an office or on a team, getting lunch is just something you might have to do, job description or not. (a) Escalate to someone above him, taking note of the cautions in #3. Meh, unless lunch is required for a work meeting, I still think its crappy to make the junior staff order it all the time. Emotionally or otherwise. I finally told him dude It wasnt the tech it was trusting the wrong person.. But those were firings for cause, not layoffs I guess a layoff could be different, if they were (for example) getting rid of an entire department or closing a branch office. I mostly agree with the commenter below, this is likely deliberate, he probably sees petty bills as beneath him. That also means, they may not be aware that the privilege and wealth afforded to them is not afforded to others. single. This way, people technically would pay him for lunch. Knowing better isn't always a deterrent. Theon $13 CEO allowed 6 company cards and monitored the statements every. I wouldnt assume that your coworkers are buying the CEOs lunch. If he says he will pay you back ask him if he will also be paying for all past purchases. I should not have made it. Why dont we try to assume the best in people? Can I get that from you before the end of the day? And if he doesnt pay you that day, remind him again the next day, just like you probably would with any other colleague. It doesnt need to be a big deal, just something like, I wont be able to pay for lunch on my personal card anymore. It's not a very exciting topic to talk about in the few hours we have together. White men have fundamentally have more privilege and wealth than others.. They don't just buy it for me AT work. Yeah it took years to get cards for our company too, Im told! If someone does forget cash, they get to go pick up the food so they can pay with their card there. Clueless? Ruth Houston, founder of InfidelityAdvice.com and author of "Is He Cheating On You?" I hate it so much that at my last job, I kept snacks in my desk so even if I forgot my packed lunch, I didnt need to order out. This was going to be my suggestion as well. The youngest are 55, so there are still plenty in offices. Im getting too old for this sh*t! Well, hes so KIND and AWESOME for giving all of them jobsits the least they can do *rage face*, I offered other employees to start taking turns to show their appreciation. I stand by the rest, though. Please just stop with this sort of nonsense. Thats step #1. Stop paying for his lunches. However, it can be confusing depending on your relationship with your Thats the oldest Boomers. So I always hope for another e-payment option since I dont carry cash, either. Good luck! When a girls says "I'll let you know" what does it mean? If you have to bend over backwards to come up with a reasonable explanation, its unlikely the explanation is reasonable. Makes It easier. It also allows for online ordering for smaller local restaurants that might not have their own website. CEO $728 (you owe for the last 5 months) Hopefully he will pay out or will state I will pay you on x date and then you just need to follow up on that date and ask for your money. Our generations tastes were labelled alternative because it wasnt popular with the generation ahead of us. I get that you suspect that theyre paying for him, but is it possible that they arent and they know something you dont about how to get the money? I fronted the money today, here is the breakdown of what everyone owes. Girlfriend used my debit card without my permission. And reason 13423 why I dont split checks but I also dont go out with someone that Im not willing to buy a meal for either. Seconding some type of group ordering! Im not saying the CEO has bad motives, but Ive noticed that some people dont think about the power dynamics involved in these situations until they get pointed out. The Captivate study also found that the lines between personal and professional can get a little blurry, with 24 percent of those surveyed saying they continue communication on weekends and weeknights. Pointing out that someone coming from a place of privilege (ie being an old rich white guy) might make him blind to the burden hes putting on his employees is a valid point to make and isnt dumping on the old rich white guy.. Im Gen X and my first thought was that hes just used to stuff being expensed, and doesnt remember that the LW doesnt have the ability to do that on his behalf. I dont think its crazier than any other opinion given here. If your coworker is resting b*tch face (RBF), then thats why they stare at you. Side note re: Venmo am not a Boomer, solidly Gen-X, but I too am anti-Venmo as they have / had major security holes you could drive a truck through. I am in a senior position and I would think twice, or three or four times, before saying, Hey CEO, can you give me that $15 that you know you owe me but have never bothered to pay before, even when you see other people paying me right in front of you on a daily basis? Yeah, not everyone carries around cash, but if he knows hes going out to eat, he should be able to withdraw some in advance. Not that thats an excuse, but generally when people are brave enough to point it out to them, theyre surprised/shocked/mortified and take immediate steps to fix it. Schools closed around us for lack of attendance. If barbs informed by identify politics and directly targeted at an individual are mean spirited, then that cuts both ways: the LW has done exactly that in crafting a narrative about whats happening (a narrative that traffics in fundamental attribution error and that most of the commenters here have implicitly disagreed with). You seem to have missed the part that this is a small office of 5 people, talk of company credit cards and submitting for reimbursement are nonsense. Seriously, just talk to him. I surmise the part that gives them pause is the open office and the conspicuous discussions with everyone else repaying what they owe for lunch, unprompted, plus the power differential. I know theyre old-fashioned, but theyre still legal tender. OP, stop taking lunch orders. Also a millennial, and I refuse to use Venmo purely because one time when my credit card info was stolen, Venmo was one of the charges. Thank God its not secured though, holy moly my head exploded. Thats why learning how to stand up for oneself whether it rocks the boat or not, or whether OP is man or woman is an important skill set to learn. I find it hard to believe that he assumes its going on a corporate card when they are discussing payment RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. Now you reminded me and I miss it!!!! On AAM, we take the LW at their word. If theyre really feeling froggy, they can say, Im collecting cash up front, or would you like to put this on your card? Mention that youve been paying for everything on your own credit card and that you know he doesnt have Venmo, so you need to figure out a convenient way for him to pay you back or set up a company card for these expenses. Which do you like better: Popsicles or Ice Cream Bars? The other 11 employees are women! So the NYMAG letters have always caused me puzzlement and I just realised why: Dear Boss is how Jack the Ripper addressed his letter to the cops. I use it so my roommate can pay his rent half because he prefers sending it as opposed to handing in a check or cash, but I dont use it for anything else. The company isnt currently paying for the lunches though, so putting it on a company credit card doesnt solve the problem of getting people to pay up. In fact, if theres any way to add up what he owes from past lunches too, youre on perfectly solid ground asking for all of it. Yeah, definitely. I am an easygoing person, but if someone did this to me without bringing it up politely a few times I would be livid. It doesn't matter if you didn't ask him to offer to buy you lunch, he's making it He has offered to buy for me more than this but I only started letting him buy for me recently because I realized always rejecting his offers would make things "just friends" between us. One thing Ive always found helpful in approaching business conversations theyre not personal, youre not taking a swipe at them. I could murder for a good chicken finger sub right now. Do Flat Earthers really believe the EARTH is FLAT? We finally got him to open a bank account just for sending/receiving. month. No one has mentioned it since. It wont help your career. Waaah, poor rich guy, getting his lunches paid for by his junior employees! Also, dont ever say cuba or syria as a message for payment. my boyfriends manager told me I could date someone better, new CEO keeps talking about diet and exercise, coworker asks me to cover for him when hes not really off, and more. There are stories of CEOs being horrified that they didnt realize the person was paying out of pocket, and stories of CEOs saying that they deserve a free lunch because they are doing their employees the favor of employing them. Theyve usually got a good rapport with the executive and can help guide you how to best handle this type of thing. If she didnt have time to do it, or if other coworkers decided they wanted to eat something else and wanted to know if anyone else was interested, they would send it out it wasnt done by seniority or whos title/job grade was higher. I offered other employees to start taking turns to show their appreciation. The OP is in an unfortunate position and I totally get that. Call us Baby Bust, call us Gen X but do not lump us in as boomers. Only places with traditional delivery that theyre offering tend to do that, most delivery is done through 3rd parties now. I started sending emails to everyone on the lunch order, saying heres what you ordered please confirm its correct. OMG, what is going on with these stories about bosses today? Whenever you get a chance, you can send me your portion via paypal/venmo/zelle. Haven't had a chance to see if he is doing the same thing for other people, but if he was would that mean I'm friend zoned? That advice has been serving me pretty well. I thought that they were offering to buy me the drink, not giving me a loan! Its okay to see others as unique individuals first. Giant pain in the rear. Honestly the CEO probably thinks youve been putting the lunches on a company card, or expensing them. Its really not reasonable to expect the person making the least amount of money to front the expense for everyones meals, even if its a fairly immediate reimbursement. Doesnt he review the credit card statements and notice that theres no Jims Steakout charge, ever?). I dont think there are many situations where sending someone a Venmo charge instead of talking to them at least once is a good idea. I also dont ignore the reality of white privilege. Once youve paid for it and and the food is eaten, theres basically no incentive for people to remember to pay you other than moral compunction. While I do agree with Alison that race does matterI think it of course matters in different ways to different people. Dangerous liaisons happen out of the spotlight, too. If youre not comfortable approaching him, maybe go to his Administrative Assistant. If OP suddenly starts asking for money when it hasnt been done before, it could come off as a bit awkward. But sending a request out of the blue weeks or months after the fact? same here. Our role as human beings is to seek out the truth and not wallow in clickbait (which gets harder and harder these days) The LW is just as responsible for finding out the truth about her boss and whether he is being a **** or whether hes just obtuse, as you are for determining whether privilege comes with bias or not. Were now six weeks out from her maternity leave and, based on the conversations I am having with various employers, I am starting to think there is a good chance that I will end up resigning in the middle of her leave. But if the company is that small, it can also be easier to raise the issue. Here is are my bank details [a very typical way to do it in the country where we live]. And bingo, done! Have you considered asking one or more of your colleagues what they do? Also Im reminded of Hanlons Razor Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. We have used it and it is great. Male and female colleagues can be friends, especially if you're working closely together it's understandable that you'd grab lunch together. "Stop having lunch. It has nothing to do with age. LOL okay. OP. What's a good comeback when someone jokingly calls you old? In fact, its their job to act that way after a certain level. If the CEO simply refuses to pay his share, or you get in trouble for speaking up, another option would be to simply bring your own lunch and not join in with the others when they order lunch. I am wondering what people think about this. It doesnt sound like its in your job description. My boyfriend follows random girls on Instagram, should I be worried? Otherwise Im stuck with the radio. And especially if theyre not actually busier than the junior employees at that moment. Please do some reading on it, but this isnt the place to debate it so lets leave it here. how do you handle being pregnant at work? And even if he wasnt rich youd still be entitled to ask for the money back! He spent long hours Yep, and also were supposed to be grateful for getting a paycheck above minimum wage. "That's telling the person there's an open door. And no manager worth doing that for would ever want you to. I just dont see the point in the even changing options for money transfering. it wasn't at work when he bought for me. I dont assume any good or bad intentions on the part of the CEO, but the letter writer seems to be. Agreed. True though, this was a small company of 10 people! Its more frequently than others, for example three times just last week. Open the door for someone who knows your boss better to approach him about the subject. Especially when he can hear discussions about payment. Another way to handle this when youre asked to do the lunch run, just reply with Sure, Im ordering from XYZ today. Why do you have another sneaking suspicion its because hes a white man who has had a great deal of wealth his entire life? (*And* female.). I forgot my wallet that day. One is 24, and the other is 30. I thought he was dating so-and-so. Not all transgressions are considered funny, as seen by the personal and professional fallout in publicized workplace affairs involving Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn and even "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders and actress Kristen Stewart. This would never even cross my mind unless I knew other bothersome things about this person. 4. As in, Okay, with your share of the tip, your lunch will be $17. Or immediately afterward, say to him, Joe, yours is $17. He may sit next to you whenever he can, or on the opposite side of the table so that he can gaze longingly at you and it The others may have waved him off previously as well, so hes not aware that when you order, you do expect to be paid. What should I do? Several years ago, I attended a business dinner about 9 or 10 people at a conference. My apologies. that lifes kind of like an iceberg: a lot going on under the surface that we arent privy to. Not much privilege for ANYONE of any race here. you can certainly accumulate tons of reward points (same goes for booking plane tickets = free miles, etc.). Can we settle up this week?. I use it so frequently that one of their people once took me for coffee to bounce ideas off me as a frequent user; the let one person pick up everyones order thing was one of the ideas! So, this is probably just a dumb question, but is there some reason boss cant pay you back in cash? PS PrinceC, Want me to swing past your office and bring your $$ to him too? OP: Hey, boss, lunch was $17, is this cash or reimbursement or what? But I agree the term is used loosely, and I (an Xer) dont get why it has become widely acceptable to use an age-related term derogatorily. He was mortified when told otherwise. I was in a similar situation recently, except my boss took our team out to lunch, told us to get whatever we wanted, and then DINED AND DASHED. Its a slippery slope when society begins to believe in absolutes like white-males-are-inherently-privileged-and-therefore..enter bad adjective here. Fascinating. Same. When we tried Venmo, the person who paid was always short changed at the end of the process. ? when asked to pay their bills. If the answer is yes, that's a red flag.". (Same thing goes for sexism.) However what I would do right now is STOP putting the expenses on your credit/debit card ASAP until you have a resolution for this. I would pop into his office and say you are collecting on outstanding lunch tabs, have a list like you are collecting from a few people. Of course, when you resign, you should acknowledge that the timing isnt what you would have chosen and offer to do what you can to help make the transition go more smoothly. described a woman who first became suspicious about her husband's work spouse when she was in a bathroom stall during his office party.
