Disgusted in Arizona

[disgusted1]

I am in the financial industry, we started out with 30 loan officers, 2 managers and one senior manager, an employee (will call her A) has been having an affair with the male manager(G) for over a year he is married and he and his wife just had a baby, it started at our x-mas party last year and we hear all about it, they have been taken to human resources but nothing gets done so they gloat about it, no one is allowed overtime except her(A), she gets over 40 hours a week but it gets worse, she comes in at 4:30 in the morning, logs in her phone goes out into the parking lot and has sex with the manager and comes in and tells us about it and stays logged in so basically she is getting paid overtime to have sex, which they have also been caught by several employees everyone is leaving because of this, we have ID badges that we swipe when we come and go, HR just pulled her log and have proof she is leaving for 3-4 hours and falsifying her time card, and nothing gets done, the manager had a "talk" with her is all. we are all ready to quit how can this happen? isnt this unfair and hostile, also she just got made our lead and knows who took her to hr and our lives will be hell please help

So she and the manager are having sex in a car in the parking lot before the workday starts? Ewwwwwwwwwww. And she's clocking in early so she can get paid OT for it? My, aren't they quite a pair.

However nothing illegal is taking place and you can't force the company to do anything about either one of them, even though most employers would have fired the two of them long ago - she for timecard fraud and he for condoning it as well as "conduct unbecoming."

You and your co-workers have two choices: (1) stay where you are and wait for the situation to blow up in management's face, and it will*, or (2) look for new jobs and resign when you accept an offer elsewhere at which time your employer will feel the "pain" associated with turnover that could have been avoided had they addressed the situation as they should have.

* At some point, either (a) the manager's wife will find out about the affair, or (b) the relationship between the manager and the female subordinate will turn ugly and then all kinds of fur is likely to fly. It's just a matter of time before one or the other or both occur.
