Wife's Latest Work Drama
My wife has been kind of getting her mid-life-crisis-ego stroked at work for the past year. She started acting kind of inappropprately and had and EA or two (in my opinion, not hers) which we have fought about for the past several months.
Well, her "supervisor", Jeff and her got pretty close and there was some inappropriate flirting/chatting/texting between them. He was trying to get in her pants IMO. Even the marriage counselor said so in her opinion. She was upset at work and her boss, Jason, asked her why. She told him about our fighting and my problem with Jeff. He said he wanted to meet with me and convince me that there isn't a problem, but he told my wife that Jeff had a thing for her, yet he continued to send them on the road together out of town.
I sent an e-mail to Jason, the boss, about Jeff and everything that had gone on and tole him that if it didn't stop that I was coming down there to handle it myself. He separated them and he asked to meet with me. I told him why I was so mad and he did his best to to a cover up and put a spin on it. The whole office is that way, they act like a bunch of teenager in heat down there.
That was last year. Jump forward to now. My wife and Jeff and a few others involved in this drama decide that they hate Jason now and are putting stuff together to get him fired. The thing they think will finish him off are some comments he made about "polishing his toy" and something about Cox (****s). Jeff convinces my wife to make the official complaint because he tells her that she is untouchable. So she files a complaint and the **** storm is starting to build.
She tells me all of this because I over hear a conversation and want to know what is going on. I ask her if she is afraid of retaliation. She asks for what. I tell her that her record isn't exactly clean, which she takes offense to. I remind her that Jason knows EVERYTHING that went on between her and Jeff because not only did I tell him but I sent him an e-mail describing it all in full detail. They were all in the same little office qlique last year. Everyone has dirt on everyone else but she seems to forget this. I ask her if she thinks Jason is really going to just go away with his career in ruin without taking them down too. I can see her starting to think about it. This isn't the first time she has been fired for doing something really stupid. I told her a year ago all of the bull**** and inappropriate behavior is going to come back on her some day. I don't know if she will come out of this in one piece or not. We'll see.
Here's my delimma. I have wanted to file my own complaint for a long time, but my wife has begged me not to because she didn't want everyone involved in the drama to get fired (I left a LOT of details out. I could go on and on and on with the stuff that went on there). She told me long ago that she will quit if I file a complaint. I could, with a few anonymous texts or letters, rain hell down on the whole thing and just sit back and watch it all come falling down. I want to do it so bad. There have already been a few anonymous messages and letters sent to the head office about how bad things are getting in that office. Mine wouldn't be out of place or suspect at all.
The crazy thing is that she, in her zeal to build a case against her bass, told the compliance officer that Jason had asked me if I hire prostitutes when he and I had our meeting. That was a bone headed move on her part. The last thing she should have done was to involve me in this. Did she forget that I have been chomping at the bit to tell everything for the past year? Now what if this compliance officer calls me? I'm dying to settle the score and exact my revenge. If I don't tell him what I really think then I am lying to cover up for my wife and protect the guys that I hate and who played a part in wrecking my marriage. I don't know if I can play their little game. I think I would rather tell it all and let the bodies hit the floor where they stand. Not sure what to do.
