    Not too long ago, my boss recently found out that I'm engaged and subsequently, when I made a simple mistake, he called me to his office and said, "I don't know what you're thinking when you did this.  Maybe you're just distracted because you're getting married."

    I found it mean and uncalled for because when my male co-worker made the same mistake, he was calm and nice about it.  I'm slowly getting tired of this double standard.

    That is so uncalled for. My boss once was trying to make small talk with me and asked if my FI and I are related because we're both chinese. WTF.

    @Dub D: Wow.  That is uncalled for.  Absolutely ridiculous.  Is there someone higher up that you can bring this to their attention?

    @MissPumpkinPie:  Sadly no, I work in small company so there's only 5 of us. Frown

    @Dub D:How did you respond to your boss?  I probably would have said something along the lines of I don't let my personal life interfere with my work life.  I'm sorry that I made a mistake; I won't do it again.

    @coffeegal85:  I honestly don't remember how I responded.  I was just so stunned he said it.
