So my boss is having an affair

It may be swept under the rug but that no longer is your problem. You cannot hold the info and use it later. It is EXTREMELY unethical. I'm in IT and I understand how difficult that it can be but you have to disclose it to the proper people and let them manage their company as they deem fit. It relenquishes you of any responsibility.

 

Yeah, I agree....CYA at all costs!!

Sorry that you had to be put in this position...can't believe how stupid your CIO is!!!

 

Wow. Is your boss, or the HR chick, going to figure out that you got/saw this e-mail? If they can figure that out, won't you be in a bit of a spot?

Man, this thread has potential!

 

Listen to MB. You need to say something, and you need to do it ASAP. DO NOT DELAY.

 

if its a company with one owner, your boss and the hr person right under them, then I would suspect its no big deal if the owner finds out you knew a few months down the road. tell your boss not to do it again, and that should be that.

 

Start sending creepy anonymous messages to the HR rep's personal email address.

"I know about you..."

Hilarity ensures...

 

Good luck with that. I agree that you should say something. I don't know if you would get in trouble if they found out some other way and that you knew this all along, but you probably don't even want to take that chance.

Good thing I didn't bet with my professor about the Lakers/Rockets series

 

Yeah, what happens when/if your boss finds out you saw the email? That could put you in a very bad situation and things could get messy. Probably best to tell the owner now.

Sounds like the echange admin is about to become the exchange sr. manager

 

Go to the owner, even if they sweep it under the rug they'll need you to keep it quiet, I'm sure they'll pay for silence. Certainly your boss won't want to have you get fired just so that you can go tell his wife. You can be ethical and opportunistic.

 

Hey Yoyo, on that email, what exactly did your CIO say he was going to do to Ms. HR?

 

Why did you put a language filter on the company's email?

That just seems wrong to me.

 

This.

 

I say you push it to the higher ups. Damned if you do, jobless if you don't.

 

Hate the game, not the playa.

 

I just 'repped' you for this. Simply awesome.

 

if the owner of the business is smart he already has a heads up as to what is going on, you mentioning it to him should just keep you clear of anything that could hurt you in the future, watch your own ass, dont assume anything at the sametime, unless you saw something confirming that she and him are actually doing something it could just be a game they play through email, still unethical but not as demeaning as an affair

 

This info is very valuable, you should not release it until you know the full score - timing is everything.

Best case scenario: You become the boss, and get to court the HR lady.
