is it rude to ask owner/boss about business closing????
i work in a small office and the industry has been hitting a very low point. the other 2 people in the office and i have been discussing the possibility of the owner closing the business or maybe selling it.
the only thing is that we are worried that he may not tell us and just up and say “hey, in 2 weeks we’re closed”.
would it be rude to just ask him what his plans are??
he’s had Realtors in the office and he’s been talking to a local staffing agency. also, his accountant has been calling a good bit and he’s been talking to some financial guys.
if business wasn’t taking a turn, then most of these things wouldn’t be a red flag….but….since it is…..
so, would it be in poor taste to just ask
“so, i was wonering how business has been?”
or
“are you making any plans for the business that i/we should be aware of?”
thanks for your thoughts.
This is a very awkward situation for them to put you in. I have recently been in a similar position where the owners in our small office were constantly in closed door meetings with the accountant and lots of strange visitors kept showing up at the office. Then one Friday they announced that they had sold the company. Within a month I was out of a job and am still looking for one.
I wish I would have asked what was going on so I had more time to prepare for the changes. If I were you I would be getting a resume ready because God knows if you will actually get 2 weeks notice.
