PSA: Public Convos aren’t Private

I’m sitting in a bar next to two self-proclaimed bosses that are bitching to each other about their employees. So far we’ve had gems like -talking about how a work from home dad should only be paid 6 hours a day, because he takes his kids to school. -the counterpoint that the company is “too family friendly” and they’ll never fire that work from home dad -a convo about an adult employee with ADHD, featuring the statement “don’t they grow out of that at some point?!?” -another convo about people who take time off for family (clearly these guys don’t) -employees who ask too many questions -employees who are “untouchable” because of the amount of time they’ve been there -and more! Just saying… if these dudes are your managers, my condolences. And they should be more aware that they are in public and people can hear them.
