So nothing to do with the title really except metaphorically.
The guy I share an office with is having a massively hard time at work, partly becuase he has been a bit of a dick but I`m sure we have all been there at some stage.
He`s married with a couple of kids and has been involved in some flirting with a colleague that he line manages. Unfortunately its all got a bit out of hanbd as what started of with a bit of playing tricks on each other - i.e. hiding phones, celotaping keyboard etc has now ended up with him apparently declaring that he has feelings for this girl.
Needless to say she is like F'#K right off, as she has a bloke as well, and is on the brink of formal complaints etc.
Funilly enough this all came up in My yearly PDR with my and this guys boss asking me what I had seen.
So I guess the question is, has anyone else been in the same situation watching things slowly unfold to a ultimately painful conclusion. And is there really anyway of stopping the inevitable? Answers on a potscard.
no, stay out of it
the 'Amy' storyline currently running on the Archers is a good example of this 🙂
[edit] and I'd 2nd staying well clear it'll damage anyone involved.
She's formally complaining when but was happy to engage in it?
As above I'd stay out if you can, unless you can honestly say they're both equally to blame for it.
I have the feeling that I`m going to be sucked in unless they sort it out between them and grow up.
How are you going to get sucked in? Just say you're not interested in speculating on whether anyone else has been unprofessional, especially during [u]your[/u] own performance review.
My mate slept with the directors mrs'. That was awkward. They split up and went seperate ways work wise and to different ends of the country. My mate stayed at the company.
It's worse when you know about it and are friends with both sides.
The guy I share an office with...
*rubs chin
Step away, the "mud" that sprays across the office may stick....
The founder of the company where I work shagged his secretary on the boardroom table. His son walked in and found them. He divorced and married his secretary then he died and now she is a millionaire with nothing to do.
You couldn't make it up, could you?
[i]I have the feeling that I`m going to be sucked in[/i]
From the guy or the girl?
Either way, I'd think carefully about backing away from it, offers like that don't come along every day.
Samuri.
Good point.
Globalti are you at Hesco?
samurai lol...
We did have a couple having an affair at work, all went tits up, Police called in to work on one occasion. Both lost their jobs.
I would certainly stay out of it.
(Unless you [b]know [/b]it was 50/50 in terms of how it started, and it looks like he is going to lose his job because it looks like harrassment or something)
my work place is dead boring.....
I work with my wife, therfore am constantly harassed
I once witnessed a work relationship very quickly 'crash' in a hotel car park
It resulted in a £4m fraud case that made national press
That sucked in a few other people I knew
3 weeks ago as a delayed but direct consequence one of those other people put a gun to his head
Stay out of anything at work that does not directly involve you especially personal issues between collegues
ahhh............. the stories i could tell about work place shenanigans
