If your boss was married to someone within the company whom you work with (and you are a new hire), would you expect your boss to disclose that information to you? (Assuming lasts names are different and it is not obvious.) Curious what you all think.

Yes. When (not if) the new hire finds out, it would be 100% more uncomfortable if it seemed like the information with hidden.

I think it depends on the specific people involved. As a program manager you could be working across a huge range of people at the company. If the spouse is a peer or someone you are guaranteed of working with every day as a normal part of job function, yes. If the spouse is someone at the company who is part of a specific project team that you’re been assigned, maybe not as part of the hiring process but certainly as part of the project team assignments.
