Help! I think my boss is having an affair with a coworker

Published

:uhoh21: Help, I think my supervisor (is the DON) is having an affair with a coworker, I will not state who is the male or female, but it is so painfully obvious something is going on. He/she is just gushing over the supervisor. Yesterday I think I walked in the office as they were doing something because I overheard one of them say "you better watch out" as I was entering the office. OMG, one of them is married, and it is purely uncomfortable. I really want to say something but don't know if I should. I was thinking along the lines of "what you do outside of work is your business, but what you do inside of work affects all of us". it is kind of sickening actually. :barf01: :barf01: :barf01: :barf01:

Any advice from "professional people" who actually act like grown-ups at work?

Interesting how the DON lost her job, but the doc didn't. They both should have been out on their kiesters.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.

Sorry, but disagreeing with you doesn't mean anyone was beating up on you. It means a disagreement and nothing more.

Nobody enjoys when someone else suggests we mind our own business, but I think there are times when we ALL need to hear it.

I would make a point of KNOWING NOTHING.

I encountered a similar situation several years ago. One of the RTs and Rns in out unit hooked up. Both were married. It got very, very uncomfortable because they become demonstrative right in the unit.

When her husband discovered what was going on she started a sexual harrassment lawsuit to cover her own behind. Everyone in the unit got subpeona to give a deposition. It was very ugly.
