When your supervisor asks you and a few of your coworkers out for an impromptu lunch, it should be safe to assume he is paying for everyone? My manager took five of us to lunch today, but when the bill came, he told the server that he was paying for just himself and his assistant and the rest of us would need separate checks. I would have said no to the invite if I knew I was paying for myself.

Ive been invited to 100s of lunches with superiors over the course of many years and with different firms. Not once have I ever had to pay for those lunches. It baffles me that this is a thing that can actually happen. They have no grounds to be angry.

Talk about leaving a bad taste in the mouth. Never heard anything like this before. Always the senior person pays if they invite, unless they make it clear everyone is paying for themselves.

Expense it

Which firm?

You boss is either cheap, or was told last minute he could not expense it. He should have been transparent up front. And this is why the corporate culture is so toxic to bear.

Today, I showed a TED Talk about the Guatemalan genocide. We were discussing the role of forensic anthropologists. It made such an impact on my students. I teach in a super red state and district and often my students do not see the pain of our Central American neighbors and why they seek asylum here. I tied their plight to my mom’s post-WWII and asked them why she was welcomed by our current immigrants are not. It was so powerful. One of my LatinoX students told me thank you for today’s lesson.
