So I just learnt it is my boss’ birthday today while taking the lift with my coworker. The company is fairly small and new, there are no long term coworkers, I didn’t know about this so I asked him how did he know. He said he learnt it from boss’ instagram story and asked me would I be interested in joining their gathering which I answered sure.
I opened instagram after leaving the lift to comment happy birthday to find out I couldn’t see his birthday story. So either he posted the story to only be seen by close friends or I am blocked from seeing all his stories. Either way it is kinda awkward since we’re all in a very small confined workspace and he is the boss.
I’m not sure should I wish him a belated happy birthday when I see him in person (he doesn’t always how up in the office) telling him that I heard it was his birthday some days ago. Or should I pretend that I know nothing just as the boss intended.
I don’t like this workspace at all, things are very unorganised, pay is at the real low end of the average, but I basically work two jobs at the same time and my bosses are really young and they love to friendly/jokingly diss me at the open office which brought me lots of mental stress. All in all I haven’t been successful at finding a new job, I’m stuck in here so I’m not sure which is the better option, or should I try to bond with this boss as he quite clearly is closer with other employees then me.
Tldr; boss posted birthday story on instagram and prevented me from seeing it. Not sure whether to wish him happy birthday or not.
