I work in a very small office & there are only 3 of us. One Big Mega Boss and one Assistant Mega Boss. I wanted to invite Assistant Mega Boss because she and I get along very well and work together all the time. My Big Mega Boss however, I don't see eye to eye on. Nothing that interferes with work, he just likes to push it in my face as much as possible that he makes 10x what I do in a year. It sucks that one of his paychecks could literally wipe out 75% of my credit card and student loan debt, but I digress (and bitterly digress!). Anyway, FMIL will be paying for about 90% of the wedding. I am marring her only child and she wants this wedding to be fabulous, so we paid our promised part and she will take care of the rest. I talked to her today about the guest list since invites went out last week and she asked about my bosses. I told her I only wanted to invite one, but since that is against etiquette and playing favorites and could possibly cause some awkward conversation later on, I just decided to not invite either of them. It was an all or nothing decision. She told me to invite them since I have been working there for almost 3 years. She also mentioned that our wedding is close to the time that the Big Mega Boss decides on year end bonuses and not inviting him might reflect negatively on that. So I bit the bullet and now they both are excited to come. Since I have been working there almost 3 years, I've had bad days and talked to friends and family about how to handle these work place situations. So they know how much of a prick my boss is. And he is. I am so scared now that someone might accidentally slip and say "Oh are you the boss that she hates or the one she likes?" I know it sounds a litlte melodramatic, but you know what happens when people drink from our open bar of beer and wine. People sometimes lose their filter and I don't want anything said that could effect my job, even by accident. What would you do in this situation? And yes, I think I might be crazy!
