Our company consists of a chain of retail stores. Three years ago the owner wanted to diversify into restaurants despite zero food experience. I strongly cautioned against it because food is tough, and we were unable to reach an agreement for me to run the restaurant concept. He decided to go with a sub-optimal plan with a different employee and it's been a disaster.
I try to stay out of it as it's not my deal. But I give input when asked and I've helped clean up some messes. He's trying to sell the store or close it completely by June.
Today he said he's thinking of hiring his girlfriend of 8 months to run the restaurant. She works at a Dept. Store. He's in his late 40's, never married, not many serious girlfriends, first real gf in a long time. She is about mid-30's and gold diggerish. I've only met her once.
What could go wrong?
tl:dr Rich, socially awkward, never married middle aged business owner wants to hire unqualified girlfriend to run his terribly mismanaged restaurant.
