AITAH for telling my boss that I don’t want to be surveilled by my coworkers girlfriend at work.
AITAH for telling my boss that I don’t want to be surveilled by my coworkers girlfriend at work.
Context : my (36f) boss is my brother (42m). I largely wfh but I also work part time at my brother’s food truck. Recently he hired his friend, I’ll call him Jake. Jake spends his entire shift on FaceTime with his girlfriend. Initially it was annoying but I just let it go because it’s not my problem and I only have one shift with this person per week.
However, this weekend during our only shift together Jake started defending himself to his gf about where I was in relation to him inside of the truck. At one point he grabbed his phone to show her a 360 of the like 14 foot truck so she could see that I was no where near him. Obviously this is super invasive and also just straight up weird. It was very clear to me that what started as a strange and unprofessional behavior had escalated into straight up surveillance.
I told my brother that I am no longer comfortable working with Jake if he is on his phone to which I was told that it is my problem and I need to handle it myself. When I reminded him that it’s his business and he’s the boss he got pretty upset and told me that if he (my brother) is not doing his job well enough then I should just quit. I will say I absolutely think he’s bluffing on that – I have helped my brother build this business and frankly he doesn’t want to do alot of the jobs (paperwork mainly) that I do for him. That said, I have been considering leaving the job for a while.
So guys, AITAH for saying I won’t work with this guy anymore?
