'It's only fair that she leave me alone': Employee stands up to boss who keeps interrupting break time

This boss knows the perfect time to start asking her employees questions — while they're taking their lunch breaks.

This employee, u/Other-Importance, shared a question they had regarding their boss's habit of always talking to them during their lunch break. They write that as an hourly worker, they have a paid break, but for some reason, their boss always decides that's the best moment to have a talk about work-related topics.

I wonder if their boss considers the OP a friend — so even if the boss was interrupting lunch, they might have just thought it was some friendly chatter. Of course, the OP doesn't see it that way. They see things for what they are, a boss-employee relationship. The way the OP reacted probably started the boss, who might not have even realized that she was overstepping the OP's boundaries. The OP writes that the boss seemed mildly annoyed, and then the OP's friends added that they also thought the OP took things too far.

While most people told the OP they were NTA, some also warned that the OP should be cautious, as it could affect their standing in the workplace. If the boss thought they were having a friendly chat, only for the OP to tell them not to bother them, the boss might not be so keen on talking to the OP during lunch or at any time.

Next up, these flyers told all about the wildest things they've ever heard while flying, such as, "Are those snakes ok back there?"
