Is it appropriate to bring a significant other or friend to a work event? On the flip side, is it a red flag if your significant other or friend doesn’t want you at their work events ?

If the work event allows you to bring a plus one, I think it's absolutely appropriate. They wouldn't offer if they didn't expect people to bring guests. I wouldn't personally care if a friend didn't invite me to a work event. I don't expect them to and most of them are boring and stuffy anyway. If it was a significant other, I'd be a bit put out by it, unless they were doing so to spare me an incredibly dull evening.

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?
