The only thing someone else can do is simply assume that they have "something to hide", but how's that different from OP asking the boss "are you planning to fire me?" or "How many were laid off recently?". Mgmt is often explicit about refusing to answer such questions as a matter of policy. I think OP can simply decline to answer questions about their private life as a matter of "personal policy", and mgmt can't complain about it w/o showing hypocrisy. | |
