Boss demands to have meetings at employee's house instead of the office, leading him to visit her late at night, until she asks him to stop: ‘Last night I saw his car parked at my driveway’

We firmly believe that work-related conversations should only happen within the office walls. Unless you are a remote employee, there is no reason for you to even have to hear your boss's voice in the comfort of your own home. Work is done at work, and as soon as you leave for the day, you should not deal with anything work-related until the next time you set foot in the office.

However, we know that this is not actually a realistic take. Most people find themselves working even when they are not officially on the clock, and we have somehow come to accept the reality in which we are expected to always answer the phone when our boss is calling.

Still, some lines should not be crossed, no matter what. If your boss calls you at 3 AM, that is not okay. And if your boss tells you he only wants to have meetings at night, in your own home, that is a crossed line so red and so alarming, HR should definitely be made aware.

Which is exactly what people told the employee in the story below…

    AITAH for telling my boss I am not comfortable with him randomly visiting my house?

    MistressJacklyn Hyde NTA. He is crossing boundaries. You are there to work for him. He should ONLY be discussing work with you AT work. He is waving so many

    greenwitheverything Why would he ever come to your house for a meeting? It was inappropriate every time, not just now that you're uncomfortable. I would make

    printout of this record and your laptop so you can also email them the file for a digital copy as you're in the office with them. Make sure you CC/BCC an external email

    BubblyBubbles 1007 You are not the a hle. This is 100% unprofessional. If he has to meet with you, it should be during work hours only. I'm just getting creepy vibes from this guy

    Downtown Area111 NTA. Tell him that you will do your meetings at work. Once you clock out, you do not discuss work. Please do that via Email or text so you have a paper trail. That way if he retaliates against you, take it up with HR!
