To me the situation is explained too vaguely to tell: exec tells current charity director that he wants to talk with previous charity director before making a donation. If we weren't talking about donations, I would say that's definitely impolite, but in this case I'm not sure. And we don't have info about whether they previously knew each other or not, so I wouldn't dare to judge yet in this case without more info.
To me, this other fragment is more interesting:
>> I consistently say [...] that Karen is my boss. [...] But instead of taking that as the fact that it is, many people make comments like well, Karen's not really your boss, right; that's just a thing you say?.
- eesmith 8y agoNot just "tells current charity director" but "repeatedly insisted". In what situations would it be reasonable to gate a donation on having a private conversation with an employee, instead of having a join conversation with both the employee and the executive director? The only ones I can think of involve fraud or other form of distrust. But in that case, why is the exec considering a donation, when the person the exec wants to talk to doesn't have the power to control the donation?
