As previously mentioned I am the owner of an Indian Restaurant in London. Which means I am ‘Boss man’. I often wonder would any of my staff be this nice to me if I wasn’t their employer.
I’m not saying that they kiss ass, but they are all extremely friendly. Now even this friendship confuses me. Is it just for formality sake that they all invite me over to their homes or do they actually want to be friends?
Over the past decade my staff has been very supportive with my quest to find a wife. They’ve exhausted their resources. I’ve dated everyone right fom the bus boys single masi to my head waiters estranged ex-wife.
I try to be supportive to my staff and encourage them to open up to me but while everyone knows of my ttrials and errors they all seem a mystery to me. I recently sanctioned leave to one of the sous chefs. He has returned with a wife in tow. I don’t believe that he never even invited me to the wedding and everyone knows an Indian wedding is a great place to meet single women.
Where is the line between professionalism and friendship? Is it hanging out afterward for a drink maybe meeting up on days off for a game of cricket? Or is it sticking to pleasantries with the occasional invite of birthdays or festival celebrations?
