Tuesday dilemma...

[Ammi]

...Your boss is having an affair for which you have evidence... your boss fires you for being persistently late for work.. would you be tempted to use the evidence of his/her affair to blackmail your job back..?..

[Jesus.]

No. If you're constantly late, then you are the only one responsible for your sacking. I'd find out a way to get the evidence to his partner though.

[Tregard]

Depends how well paid the job was.

[Niamh.]

Nah, I don't think so, I wouldn't fancy working in an environment where I'd blackmailed my boss lol

[Ammi]

No. If you're constantly late, then you are the only one responsible for your sacking. I'd find out a way to get the evidence to his partner though.

..that sounded like you were giving me advise lol...t'is purely hypothetical, you understand....

[Jesus.]

..that sounded like you were giving me advise lol...t'is purely hypothetical, you understand....

If the cap fits, wear it. You're renowned for sleeping in till all hours, so I thought you may be struggling to keep your boss onside.

[Glenn.]

No I wouldn't blackmail. But like Jesus, I certainly make sure his partner found out. Just for my own enjoyment really.

[fingers]

No I wouldn't blackmail. But like Jesus, I certainly make sure his partner found out. Just for my own enjoyment really.

That's called Schadenfreude, it's despicable but ever so satisfying! :dance:

[Kate!]

I wouldn't be able to work there again under those circumstances, the atmosphere would be awful.

I'd make sure the info got back to the partner though. :devil:

[AnnieK]

I wouldn't blackmail but I would "accidently" send the evidence to everyone in my inbox....

[smudgie]

No, if I was sacked for a genuine reason then so be it.
Why should his wife/partner suffer by me sending evidence of his affair.
Leave them to it.

[Niamh.]

Yeah, I agree with that, staying out of other peoples relationships is a good thing I think.

[Jesus.]

No, if I was sacked for a genuine reason then so be it.

Leave them to it.

I wouldn't do it as revenge, I'd do it for the reason of letting his partner know. I'm always of the opinion that I'd want to know if it was happening to me.

[Niamh.]

alot of times the partner does know but doesn't want to if you know what I mean? Unless it was someone I knew very well, I'd stay out of it

[Ammi]

I wouldn't do it as revenge, I'd do it for the reason of letting his partner know. I'm always of the opinion that I'd want to know if it was happening to me.

..the thing is though that it would be the partner you would hurt most, not him..and whether she/he was going to get hurt anyway and someone else would tell them, I couldn't be the one to do that to someone else...

[Z]

I wouldn't do it as revenge, I'd do it for the reason of letting his partner know. I'm always of the opinion that I'd want to know if it was happening to me.

Do you think you'd be capable of telling them without feeling like you were getting revenge though? Surely that's how everyone else would see it as you getting even, even if you really believed you weren't doing it as an act of revenge.

[Natalie.]

I wouldn't want to work there again but I'd think about yelling his wife. I think I'd like to know if I was being cheated on

[Marsh.]

Yeah, I'd accept the sacking.

But then go all Emily Thorne and make sure his partner found the evidence.

I'd probably feel a bit guilty but then decide it was for the best, I was punished for my actions. He must be punished for his. :laugh:

[joeysteele]

No, revenge isn't my thing, I think you can just eat yourself up with thoughts of revenge and it will likely bring the very worst out of yourself too.
With really little and mostly nothing gained at all.

[Samm]

I would get sacked but I would not blackmail him I would jest tell everyone anyway

[MeMyselfAndI]

I'd do it for revenge

I suppose it depends on the circumstances, sometimes there are other factors to take into account. My last boss was always having affairs here there and everywhere, and regularly used high class prostitutes. I am sure his wife knew, and only stayed with him for his money anyway, so it wouldn't have made much difference.

I don't think I could do it though if someone was "happily married" in theory and their partner was oblivious to it, especially if kids were involved. If they get caught and ruin their own life, that's their fault, I would not want to contribute to breaking up a family.

Might be different though if I'd had a few and they seriously pissed me off. :tongue:

[King Gizzard]

I'd do nothing because I'm a pussy

[Kizzy]

I would demand a new position, and a permenant contract
