[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disappointing that in this day and age, a boss and a female subordinate can have an affair and frighten other co-workers into silence.  This woman is using her position as "girlfriend" to make other folk's lives quite miserable (some even leave).  My own boss has admitted that he "won't go up against her" because of this relationship. That is a hostile work environment, right?[/quote]

Just want to add the point that the president of the company is equally using his position to get/keep his girlfriend.  He is equally if not more culpable in this situation.  How comfortable in normal circumstances would someone feel telling his/her boss that his girlfriend (much less that they are married to different people) is wrong about a decision?  That's before you take into account the fact the girlfriend is trying to solidify her power base.  So anyway it is pretty clear to me president isn't thinking with his head, atleast not the one on his shoulders and I wouldn't want to get caught in the crossfire.  If he tries to fire/discipline the girlfriend she can probably sue and likely his marriage will implode, if he does nothing people will leave, likely not sue, and a chance his marriage can stay intact.

I would keep detailed notes/evidence , just in case someone comes after you before you can get another job.  Maybe file a complaint after you leave just to have the paper trail/heads up should someone else that hasn't/can't get out needs the paper trail to help their case. [/quote]
