Leaver not invited to a work social event

Emily

Hi All, 

We have a work social event coming up for all employees. 

However, we have an employee leaving a couple of days later. The directors have said he is not invited. 

Can we do that? 

Thanks in advance.

  • Emil, I think folks below have it covered. I often say to bosses, just because you can (and it's legal) doesn't mean you should. Sounds like they are emotional about the leaving decision forgetting, perhaps that, people who stay notice these things and it leaves an impression which might not be exactly as the boss intends it to be.

    What might be pragmatic, cost effective and expedient to them, could look immature, mean & anti values to others. Good luck. I appreciate challenging bosses often feels like a career ending conversation.
