If a manager has an affair with an employees Husband, should there be repercussions at work?

Or is it strictly a personal matter?If a manager has an affair with an employees Husband, should there be repercussions at work?
What a tangled web we weave. There would be repercussions in the basis that the manager is creating a poisoned atmosphere at this place of work, how can the one individual possibly deal with the other or take any instruction. This person/manager has shown that they do not know how to manage a broom closet as much as a workplace.





Now the information you give is sparse, but in the long, run one of the two individuals in the workplace will have to go. The manager has a little issue of possible blackmail, unprofessional behaviour and neglect of duty. The worker has to deal in a place that no longer is hospitable to his or her needs.





Sadly, these affairs never work out, and someone pays the price. It takes but one call to the workplace or ones divorce lawyer and watch the fun begin. And as a personal matter, am sure the battle at home will lead to filling a lawyers pocket.If a manager has an affair with an employees Husband, should there be repercussions at work?
This is a really interesting question. I do believe that these facts would permit a claim under Federal and State law since an employee need only show a hostile work environment that leads to an adverse employment action. What could be more hostile than your boss having an affair with your spouse.





From a strictly ethical perspective, there should definitely be repercussions.
The people having the affair are not working together. The manager can sleep with whomever he wants to on his own time. I'd say it's a huge bummer for the poor employee who is being cheated on, but has nothing to do with work. If the manager treats her the same as everyone else, then it's strictly a personal matter.
Not a nice thing but would say it was a personal matter. Different if it was 2 people in the workplace having the affair and their contract specifically stated there should be no dating etc. with colleagues.
They both should be fired, ethically speaking.
Yes, but often there never ever is.
