Boss shared some personal information about a coworker, not sure what to do - eviltoast

My boss told me privately that my coworker had a case of delhi belly, he then repeated this a couple of days later to a meeting with 10-15 people in

He’s also made comments about people who receive welfare, and about people who he manage’s salaries (he’s done this about me to other people as well). This is for a global american company but we’re based around the world

Very frustrating and not sure what to do. I’m probably going to share this with my coworker on Monday but yeah should I talk to HR or something. I’m in a position where I’d end up homeless if I lost this job

    Hey homie, I don’t think it’s worth doing anything with this. It’ll 100% make your position more precarious to bring it up to HR.

    I understand that it’s probably right to make a complaint here, but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze to me. HR’s not going to fire your boss, and he’s not going to change his behavior.

    I’d just let this fuel the fire of your hatred for capitalism (and him) a little more, and look around for jobs a bit.

    Maybe sign him up for a subscription to Watchtower or steal his cat or something.

        Prob not, but do give her some advice on not revealing personal info on coworkers. Some people understand way too late that coworkers are not your buddies, especially on big corporations.

        But thats just me, i had really bad experiences with coworkers so i had to be very careful with my words.

    about people who he manage’s salaries

    If you want to talk to HR, make sure you mention this. They probably will only performatively care about the boss being an asshole, but he’ll get in trouble for that one.
