Ethical Situation
In one of my previous jobs, I found myself in an uncomfortable situation. Because I was so young, I was not quite sure how to handle the situation. The manager above me was married, which I hold to be sacred. About once a week, a gentleman would come in and disrupt her work. He would come in and flirt with her or take her to lunch or go into the break room together. I didn't ask to many questions but was told that they were "just friends". If her husband were to call and she was gone or busy with this gentleman, I was told to tell her husband that she was not available and was in a meeting. Whether she was having an affair or not, it was none of my business. I was just concerned that she was being paid to be there working and she would often be too busy doing personal things. I even saw, on multiple occasions, that she would be in chat rooms and dating websites during working hours. I never brought it up to the boss above her because I was afraid of retaliation. Overall, I loved working for this company; I just wish I would have had a better manager to look up to.
