Post something weird that happened today

[Charlotte Quin]

I wasn't there when it happened, but my boss at the other office (a 60 year old man) had a teary tantrum after my workmates told his friend not to smoke just outside the front door (it was wafting into the office).

I wasn't there when it happened, but my boss at the other office (a 60 year old man) had a teary tantrum after my workmates told his friend not to smoke just outside the front door (it was wafting into the office).

  He would really hate my workplace.  No smoking is allowed anywhere on the premises.
   Employees and even elderly residents who smoke, must walk down the driveway and
   onto the street, even when it's pouring rain or the ground is covered in black ice.

This friend isn't an employee but rather some sort of adult child he has recently adopted and comes into the office a handful of times per day to ask for money. The whole situation and my bosses motivations are getting really odd.

  Sounds as if your boss is really stressed and worried about this guy.

Emotionally involved in his plight, yes. You can't ask him questions about it because he gets really defensive and shitty. It's getting really disruptive too, because he just drops everything whenever the dude walks through the door. Not saying you can't help a guy in need, but priorities, geez

  That's a shame.  The frequent visits to ask for money make me think of the addicts I've seen on
  Intervention.  I imagine your boss's bosses will eventually realize that he's being distracted from work.

He's kinda addicted to nicotine obviously, but his cousin also likes to blow cash on the poker machines too, and we reckon she's grabbing some of the money off him. His finances are controlled by the public trustee and they only give him a small amount of spending money.

The partners don't know yet. And if we try to tell them we'll end up in deep shit with the boss guy because he'll think we're betraying him. Funnily throughout the whole thing this dude has NEVER came in while either of the partners were visiting the office. We thinks he's watching the office doorway from afar

  The whole thing is strange.  I wonder how he got involved with this character in the first place. 

[Charlotte Quin]

At first he was just someone who used to ask him for money on the street, but he found out where he worked, walked in one day and it all snowballed from there.

  And your boss feels too guilty? personally responsible? to notify security and keep this guy out of the building?

[Charlotte Quin]

There are 5 people in the office, not much in the form of strong arm security I'm afraid. The boi I'm crushing on there is a bit of a wimp

I guess he's just too nice a person, and we theorise that it's appealing to a deep regret of never having kids of his own. He seems to get some sort of proud pleasure out of helping him I guess.

  That's sad, but he'd better get a grip and set some limits with this guy, for his own sake.

Crush boi manned up and told one of the partners about him today
