[quote=Anonymous]I was born and raised in the US and I think the boss was out of line, though for more traditional American reasons than the Indian ones. We have an American tradition of a pretty clear delineation between work-related and personal duties. Every workplace has menial tasks to be done, so it is appropriate even for educated, higher "ranking" people to do some of them (gophering, photocopying, etc.) But we don't commonly do our bosses' personal tasks for them. It wouldn't be commonly accepted for your cousin to be asked to pick up his boss's groceries, babysit his children, or wash his laundry (outside of the aforementioned domestic employment and some personal assistant-type jobs.) We take care of those things ourselves, or hire them out to people who specifically do those jobs - not grad students or people who have other jobs in our offices. The boss was out of line, and I think the cousin should follow up with Human Resources.[/quote]
