Branch manager wants me to meet with his son to convince him to join the firm. I have met the young man & he has always wanted to be a high school soccer coach. What am I supposed to say? I did tell manager that & he is still insisting I meet him for lunch. What should I handle this?

Tell him no. That's not part of your job description and not something you are comfortable with.

In theory that sounds smart but he’s the branch manager.

I would probably just go to lunch with him. Can tell him it’s a good career and not push too hard. Worst case the branch manager owes you a favor….

Hmm, I like the idea. Lunch is on him 😂

Branch manager! He offered. 😂

I agree with Director 1. I would just go to lunch with him just to show your boss you were willing to give it a try. Its a free lunch at the very least.

Yeah, you are right. Lunch next week.

Just do it and tell him what you are telling us afterwards.

Will do!

Go for the chat. Have a nice lunch or dinner and send the bill to him.

That’s the plan, this coming Wednesday.

Yeah, he’s thinking because I’m young, 24, I will somehow connect with him. I wanted to be a FA, dad had a plumbing company, no one had to convince me to follow this career. Dad was very supportive of my career.
