Bad Boss Story: Kitchen Love Triangle

Source: Street interview

"It was a love triangle.

I worked in a kitchen. One of my managers was sleeping with a line cook and my other manager was also sleeping with a line cook and then the first one got pregnant. And then he like left the country.

She gave birth, she has the baby, he's back in the country. He almost got deported.

He was in a drug scandal. It's very, very layered."

👀 Our Take:

Office romances happen — but this wasn’t romance, it was recklessness. Leaders set the tone, and when boundaries blur like this, everyone feels unsafe and unstable.

🧠 Could this have been avoided?

Easily. Clear policies, ethical leadership, and respect for boundaries would have stopped this soap-opera spiral.

That’s why tools like the Work Personality snapshot help people see where blind spots and risks might surface.
