Some bosses, particularly those who are inclined to jealousy, may *take issue*if you appear to be excessively chatty with their spouse.
to make it an issue?
to magnify the issue?
Thanks |

I want to know the answer too.

Hi missdaredevil,
"Take issue" in this case means to object. And yes, the boss can make it an issue because of his/her objection.

Could you use it in another sentence?
"object" seems like a strong word there. |
