Why would he call me his mistress?

[Caroline1993]

My boss joked and called me his mistress behind my back! Why would he even joke about that to other people?

[RuthlessAggression]

I think he probably doesn't know how to be appropriate with his employees but I don't know why he would call you his mistress. You do know what a mistress is, right?

[Caroline1993]

Yes of course I know what it means!

[slatyb]

Wow, that's totally inappropriate. What sort of office do you work in? Is it a small company or large? How do you know this?

[Caroline1993]

Real estate, mid sized company, my colleagues told me!

[slatyb]

A national company? Sometimes people say things without much thinking about it. And sometimes people say things knowing that it's inappropriate. Without knowing more it's hard to say what if anything you should do about it.

[SaVaGe22]

Wow than tell him give me 50% my share in your company if I'm your mistress.

[Anonymous]

Because he’s an immature jerk who thinks he’s funny. Not uncommon.

[spartan55]

Well are you? So all you care about is WHY he would say it? Smh... doesn't really fix problem does it?

[Caroline1993]

No I am not! He is flirty with me at times though.

[spartan55]

And what do you do when he flirts with you?

[Caroline1993]

Flirt back 😳

[spartan55]

Yeah, that's not a good idea. Is he married?

[FilmGuy93]

If it's an out of character joke for him, there's probably a more flirty energy between you than you've noticed.

But if he's a joker, then it's probably a joke.

[Zweihander9005]

He’s gauging how much he can get away with with you.

[Wise4myage]

Are you sure he was joking?

[Caroline1993]

I’m not certain, but I think he was. I was not there

[Wise4myage]

Either way, that’s not cool.

[litty]

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[Crankor]

Because he's hoping you would be.

[mrlongdongsiilver]

if he's foreign he's probs trying to say assistant

[EnglishEuropean]

Wishful thinking.
