[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love that he created an even more anxious  situation by gossiping about you to coworkers and then telling you about it. That's pretty unprofessional.

Girl, just do your job. These people don't matter. [/quote]

+1, he's gossiping about a medical condition (anxiety).  WTF kind of boss is that?!  He's a walking ADA violation.[/quote]

Um, he is not gossiping about a medical condition.  He is a boss asking an employee's peers about their relationships with the employee.  A good supervisor talks to the people s/he supervises to ensure that people are getting along.[/quote]

NP here, it's wildly inappropriate for the boss to tell OP what everybody is saying about her. That's middle school BS and no way to manage.

It would be fine for boss to schedule a regular (not daily) group lunch. It would be fine to have a lighthearted ice breaker at the staff meeting where you talk about hobbies. It would be fine for boss to buy OP a coffee and try to get to know her.  That's not what happened.

I tend to think this isn't the right long term job for OP (the "family" stuff is a red flag for a lot of us) but boss is definitely in the wrong.

Side note on food - lunch is a mental break: if you must have a chatty work lunch, you need to let people take a quiet minute later to make up for it. Also some people really cannot eat with others for mental or physical reasons: I worked for 10 years with a very sociable man who attended all of our office parties and no morsel passed his lips. It was fine. Stop trying to make people eat to be social. [/quote]
