Wish I could unsee and forget that night.
Guys recently I was forced to see something I do not want to see and now I am not very sure what to do with what I saw.
On one of the Fridays, after drinks past midnight, I realised I left my house keys in the office. So I went back to the office to get my keys –
When I reached the front door, I saw two figures standing by the window. One behind the other and with his arms around that person. It was quite dark and took me a while to identify. My heart sank when I saw it was my colleague (let’s call him Mr A) and my boss (Mr B).
Mr A has been given the most prestigious works and opportunities. Here’s the even trickier part. Mr A’s wife is someone I knew since Uni days. She’s a really nice person.
Obviously I left without getting my keys and had to trouble my housemate to let me in.
I have mixed feelings over this. On the one hand I am furious. On the other, I can’t risk losing my job. Finally, I don’t want to destroy somebody’s marriage. Yet a part of me feels an immense inability to tolerate this injustice. Finally company has very poor whistle blowing regime.
Here are what netizens think:
- Blackmail obviously. After watching Luther you’ll get the gist.
- You don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to feel guilty or responsible to tell anything to the affected parties. Their problem is multifaceted, it’s best to leave it to unravel on it’s own.
- You are right. Don’t spoil people’s marriage. But should have taken video clips, upload
- Such (power) relationships are, unfortunately, common. What you saw was not an instance, but a series of previous (close) encounters that resulted in what you witnessed.
- Actually, what do hope to achieve by reporting this? The only beef I am able to pick up is that A has been given prestigious jobs; and if A have been meeting expectations with minimum help, why bother. After all, this is part and parcel of corporate world (in the past is usually involve a Ms A and a Mr B). Otherwise, if it does not pose any serious treat to your own job security, the whole team is doesn’t need to bail out A and there is no direct breach of compliance in terms of carrying out the business, sometimes it is good to let sleeping dogs “hug” each other. Job assignment can be a fluffy thing.
