People who work for me ask me personal questions and I ask them personal questions and guess what; we answer each other.
We also socialise together and slag each other and we all manage to work together in a professional and friendly environment.
Not if asking an innocent question results in people asking what their rights are!
We've all worked hard over the years to avoid a "Them and Us" mentality and maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect. It only takes one person with that sort of attitude to screw the whole thing up.
I agree - with emphasis on the bit in red.If you really feel put out, just a quiet word in his ear should do the trick.

Apologies, but I would hate to think that an employee would get all legal on me because I offended them with an innocent question.Purple, I'm joking with you.!!! Hence the smiley face and the stick out tongue face. You are not normally like this and I always think your answers are very well balanced and witty. I can only assume you are having a particulary bad Monday. Hope it gets better. And that its being genuine, so if it comes across as sarcastic cos I'm writing it, it isn't meant to.
You say you've all worked hard for years to achieve what you have in work. That's why I asked "any jobs?. Cos it must be genuinely terrific to have such a great working environment, and if as you say you've all worked hard to get there, then its not something that comes easy and hence not an environment that everyone works in. You are very fortunate.
My boss asked me how my kids were doing and when I said they were great, and so was my partner, he said "so it must be time for another one?" - is this against equality legislation?
Did he mean another child or another partner?My boss asked me how my kids were doing and when I said they were great, and so was my partner, he said "so it must be time for another one?" - is this against equality legislation?
