Employee Gets Angry At The Boss For Not Wishing Him ‘Happy Vacation’

Making friends at work is fairly common.

School is usually the only place where we meet new people. As we get older and start working, it stands to reason that some of our coworkers will become good friends. And, while becoming friends with your boss is not uncommon, it is also unusual. But it all depends on the company’s hierarchical structure. It is perfectly fine if it is a small company. However, if it is a large corporation, it may appear strange, and other employees may label everything as preferential treatment.

As a result, it is usually best to keep professional and personal relationships separate. You might think it’s not as important or dramatic as I’m making it out to be, but it can cause a lot of problems in the future. Consider the following scenario: you get into a fight with a friend, and that same friend is unable to treat you like any other employee at work. However, that is not the point of the story. It may appear that a friend is becoming irritated with his friend, who also happens to be his boss, but this is not the case.

My question is whether wishing someone a happy vacation is a thing.

But let’s start off with how this all began in the first place.

His employee was on vacation and when he came back, he was quite curt.

OP couldn’t understand what was happening at all.

OP even asked him twice as to what the issue was.

The employee finally relented and said it was all because OP didn’t wish him a happy vacation.

OP was left speechless and urged the employee to toughen up.

There appears to be a lot of information missing here, but the OP later clarified in a comment that this is all there is to it. They’re also not friends, which is surprising. I’m not sure what was going through this guy’s head, but who wishes their employee a happy vacation? It’s polite to say something like ‘Hope you have a good time’ or something similar, but it’s not required. To be fair, the employee could be going through something and now just venting on OP. After all, you never know what happens behind closed doors.

People had a lot of questions.

Because it feels like some information is missing but there isn’t anything else.

This is all very weird to me.

It is polite to do so but is it necessary? Not really.

It is better to do so anyway.

Exactly, OP is his boss, not his friend.

This was the last comment that OP made and it sounds like a very petty way to handle the situation though hilarious.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Do you believe this is all a misunderstanding? Or do you believe the employee is overly sensitive and needs to toughen up in order to survive in the real world? What would you do if you were in this situation? Please let us know in the comments section, and don’t forget to share this story with your friends so they can join in the conversation as well.
