"He's a great leader and we couldn't function without him, but he's also kind of forgetful and seems to always have his head in the clouds. Mr. Johnson frequently neglects to adjust his wardrobe so that his pants zipper is up after using the gentleman's room. After a meeting we had yesterday it also seem apparent that he doesn't always wear underwear as his bull escaped from the barn."
"It wasn't intentional or sexual in any way, but every time I see my boss I can only think of his privates that didn't keep so private. I'm not even sure if he noticed it got out when this happened as he didn't react or seem embarrassed. Should I talk directly to Mr. Johnson about this, or should I report the incident to his supervisor? Or should I just let it go and hope it never happens again?"
An employee loves a small nonprofit job and the mission but witnessed repeated wardrobe malfunctions by a forgetful boss, including an unzipped fly and apparent lack of underwear. The exposures were not sexual or intentional, yet they leave the employee preoccupied and uncertain how to respond. The situation raises questions about the boss's awareness and capacity to lead, as he appeared unembarrassed and oblivious. Observers note a pattern of eccentric behavior in the nonprofit environment and speculate whether the boss is genuinely absent-minded or feigning cluelessness. The employee seeks guidance on confronting the boss or reporting the incidents.
