They have asked a few co-workers if they wanted to meet at a local coffee shop. But oddly, when their boss heard about it, he made the comment in a meeting that they were “blowing off the day to hang out.” So now everyone doesn’t want to meet up to work together for fear that the boss thinks they aren’t working.
