[quote=Anonymous]I'm mid40s director for a multinational that is struggling. Husband has been laid off and money is tight right now. A former intern who I helped to be hired into the company office in NYC is in town for a vacation break (not on company travel) and asked to have lunch with me. I agreed. I dont supervise him in any way. He is in his 20s, no family. Our income difference is clearly in the three digits. I was going to treat him. I made reservations to a nice place for lunch, where the meal was probably going to be like $150 for the two of us. On the day we are meeting, he surprised me by bringing his girlfriend along. The restaurant was able to adjust our reservation. The girlfriend ordered so much $$$ alcohol. So when the waiter came over, I did not lead. My former intern then told the waiter to split the check with me paying my own and him paying for him and his girlfriend. We parted amicably.

I thought that was that.

Fast forward a few weeks after, my boss mentions that the former intern told him that I broke the code of treating junior associates out. Boss laughed it off but I felt I was being admonished. I dont know what the boss knows.

Would you bring it up again with your side of the story? Was I really the ass here? I dont want to pay for some girlfriend's alcohol. I ordered tap water for crying out loud.

it's so petty but it is bothering me
