Can i grab a card putting lunch orders on your card moving forward? Sorry, misthreaded this! I should not have made it. The only acceptable explanation here, IMO, is if the CEO assumes stuff is being ordered on a company card (and since its a small org, this even sounds unlikely. Unless the exec specifically says, I dont have to pay for things because Im so rich!, its not a fact, and the letter writer is making massive assumptions. Because I made a mistake based on experience. The company isnt currently paying for the lunches though, so putting it on a company credit card doesnt solve the problem of getting people to pay up. Do you agree a man and a woman should split the checks on all dates until they are married? He spent long hours with one colleague, a manager, planning and running the events. Whenever you feel bad about the timing, think about all the reasons your company is giving you to want to leave, and think about what they could have done to make those reasons go away. That was going to be my suggestion. If there was a text like hey, I spotted you for that drink, do you mind Venmoing me? I probably would have complied (even though its strange to charge someone after offering to buy them a drink). Yup sadly possible he is skimming from OP because he f***ing can.

And even if he wasnt rich youd still be entitled to ask for the money back!

That said, the boss is absolutely in the wrong here, even if he doesnt realize it, and the OP deserves to get repaid, as well as paid for every lunch going forward. Its not your responsibility to stay on. If theyre really feeling froggy, they can say, Im collecting cash up front, or would you like to put this on your card? So, this is probably just a dumb question, but is there some reason boss cant pay you back in cash? (Not that it makes much difference, but like thats more family takeaway sized than massive event). If he doesnt want to trust an app, I would think at least cash should still be a legal option. "It starts out with affection, which basically means you care about the person and want to see him or her succeed and you'll be there when they need you," said Willard F. Harley Jr., clinical psychologist, president of Marriage Builders and author of "His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage." (For me, it makes me curious about others, their history, stories, experiences, etc. What should I do? Why do you have another sneaking suspicion its because hes a white man who has had a great deal of wealth his entire life? I find it offputting to unload this on a junior team member. Is there even a good reason? If you dont have the cash in hand before the order, then dont order it.

As a woman in a male dominated field who combats this BS, and has often and successfully rocked the boat (and still do at 25+ years in), I am still going to play devils advocate. so he was just stealing everybodys money for himself.

Since the office is so small, payment conversations have gone on in CEOs presence, and he owes you quite of money by this point, I would talk to him before you order lunch again and directly ask if theres a way he thinks payment should be handled. if they have a business case to lay you off they will, and they will not think about it if it is a convenient time for you or not. I think OP has to directly acknowledge the fact that the boss hasnt been paying. Agreed. But if you havent specifically told him what he owes you, its premature to assume he expects you to pay for him. Does your company have an expense policy or corporate cards? Well, thats awfully unkind and oblivious to power dynamics. I didnt realize how much I was expecting people to know things or get hints until we had to change our communication strategy at home. The letter writer asked how do they let the CEO know hes expected to pay. I was in this exact situation at work. Im lucky and I know that, and hope to be this person going forward. To the OP, it seems like it should be obvious to the CEO what is going on because its going on outloud with everyone else every time. Our role as human beings is to seek out the truth and not wallow in clickbait (which gets harder and harder these days) The LW is just as responsible for finding out the truth about her boss and whether he is being a **** or whether hes just obtuse, as you are for determining whether privilege comes with bias or not. I finally told him dude It wasnt the tech it was trusting the wrong person.. Im mean I disagree but I suppose if thats how they feel.
