Notes from Chris

Episode 1491
Is your boss a little nosy?

I can ask questions like that because I don’t have a boss. Or in some ways I have a lot of bosses … I answer to my readers and listeners. If they don’t like what I write or produce, ultimately they’ll fire me. Fortunately, I have some job security since it’s not just one person.

Today’s listener has an interesting dilemma. A listener’s boss is way too nosy! He’s asking a lot of personal questions about our caller’s side hustle. Maybe the boss is a little jealous? Hopefully their boss isn’t listening to this episode…
"Some people have a problem with hiding their side hustle from their boss—my problem is the opposite. My boss wants to know everything, including how many customers I have and how much money I'm making. I don't mind talking about those things with my friends, but it feels weird to talk about it with my work. Part of me thinks that he is jealous, and part of me thinks they're just curious and there's nothing I need to worry about. What do you think? "
