Colleagues affair

My take on this - and I may be way off the mark - is that OP as a temporary member of staff, is newer , does not know the others who may be good friends, (maybe more, that’s neither here nor there) but feels left out.
She feels sidelined, put upon and comes across as self righteously indignant.
There are so many trivial and irrelevant observations (the sunglasses, the checking make up etc etc) that she is clearly obsessed with the other two who can’t do anything right in her eyes.
It’s not a happy situation , OP also has a lot going on in her life and her unhappiness is spilling over into her work.
Two courses of action - relax, just focus on job be friendlier and less judgemental or look for another job.

I’m quite sorry that that seems to be The End. The baring, the leather jackets’ kitting out, the indignation, the freelance journalist /library deputy manager in sunglasses. Not to mention the Gadgets. Whew!

Feel free to continue the saga tattygran 🤣🤣🤣

I think she went back to the Agency and asked to be sent elsewhere.

Now we'll never get the next chapter ☹

After the insults she hurled she may have been suspended from GN. She hasn’t returned since then.

There are a few clear issues here:

1. If their (alleged) affair is making the OPs job difficult, she should make that point to her Line Manager, without mentioning the actual affair if possible, which is not her business.
2. If the OP is a temp, why not just leave?
3. Does the OP work in a library or not?
4. Is this another of 'those' posts.

I think the OP posted about a similar situation quite some time ago. I don’t know if the couple involved, and the workplace, were the same though.

Is anybody else doubting the original post is for real?? It all reads a bit like a comedy sketch to me!! Sorry if it’s genuine.

Oh no.

We'll never get to Chapter 20.

It is a shame we cannot say what we really think about some things.

She knew I was upset (I've also got family issues including my mother-in-law who's dying of cancer in scotland, my mother who's got bladder cancer, a husband with painful gout, and a father-in-law and have also recovered from pneumonia

In January of this year OP told us her FIL had died.
A miracle?

Not following this thread but bumping it to help shove the undesirables down the Active list.

What makes you think we're not the Undesirables merlotgran?

You should make a complaint if they aren’t doing their jobs properly, but as for the affair that’s none of your business you say he’s a stupid man as he’s got his shades on that are identical to hers and she quickly checks herself in the mirror with her make up and jumps across the queue to get into his space! He’s crap at his job you say! And it gives him a lot of leeway to have some fun! I actually agree with tickingbird my sense of humour too

This thread is nearly six months old- surely the people concerned will have moved on? OP certainly should have.

Why do you not confront the pair directly? It need not be you alone as you say that most of your colleagues know . Just say that they can do what they like outside the workplace but their present behaviour is affecting everyone.

This post is 10 months old 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is probably too late to post but I am in this situation. I work with a woman who - due to her...color...for lack of a better word....has been having a long-term affair with a co-worker who is married with 3 kids. He gets away with it by first, playing the loving father, second, being at his job long-term and third, is very careful, to the point that his lover is friends with his wife on Facebook. It's sickening. I wouldn't mind letting the crap out of the bag except his kids would suffer.

I'm wondering about so many comments telling the OP that the affair is "none of her business."

It seems very strange that so many people are invested in protecting cheaters, especially when they turn the workplace into a zoo. It actually can be OP's business if she feels like making it her business, since they have made it her business. Anyway, who cares?

You can probably shut that crap down right away, if you want to. Why on earth should you be the one who has to suffer at work because of these disgusting pigs or get a new job?

You could just get a disposable phone. Try to find their spouse's numbers. Call his wife and say you are the female cheater in the situation and that you need to speak to "your lover," her husband, right away.

Then call her husband, make your voice like a man's and say you are male cheater and really need to speak to your lover, his wife, right away.

Then go back to work and watch their lies blow up in their faces. Screw them.

You're welcome!
