WIBTAH if I say something to an employee who wants me to close my business for her wedding?
My manager is getting married to her sweetheart in about a month and a half. We have a small company with only a few employees and I just got an email requesting we close ours doors completely on a Saturday (usually our highest sales day) so that she can invite her other coworkers. Everyone… but me. She’s been my manager for years, we talk several times a week, text, etc. We’ve been through some tough situations, I’ve mentored her, helped her out when she needed it, written letters of recommendation for her place to rent and basically been pretty close with her. I didn’t expect to be invited to her wedding but thought maybe I would be since we are so close. I certainly didn’t expect everyone to be invited but me, that threw me. Getting that email really brought up some feelings for me. It felt really insensitive to invite everyone but me, including past employees of mine. It also feels really selfish for her to think that we could close our doors completely on a busy day that literally pays their paychecks. We have been struggling so so hard as a small business to make it for the last year. So much so that I can’t even take a paycheck and have been working 40 hours a week without pay. I don’t know what to do or say and I could really use some advice. I haven’t said anything yet but I feel like I should explain how tone deaf her request is. Am I wrong if I do?
