Last year I saw a woman having an adulterous relationship with a contractor in office. She had joined fairly recently and the contractor was a support staff, supporting applications built by my team. I saw them sitting alone in a meeting room during work hours while they had nothing to do with work in common. She was a business analyst for Expedia IT. I didn't do or say anything then but it turned out or seemed that both turned hostile towards me as I had "caught" them. She began talking about me, behind my back to her team mates and they would look at me differently. I didn't know what to do then but it was really becoming a problem for me. The contractor was let go towards the end of the year due to expiry of contract but she continued to work and could again be seen with other men at times, but very careful of me. Now, when I was serving notice period, I saw her sitting in the cafe and just asked if I could sit next to her. She reacted quite negatively and complained to the HR the following day. I asked for an exit immediately rather than diving deep into the issue. The HR told me that it doesn't change the nature of my exit - that it remains resignation in the system, as before but it's still sad and disappointing for me because I had to leave my co-workers so suddenly and may have left behind a bad name for me. Now, that I'm already out, should I complain about her through the Ethics portal to get any bad thing about me or my name cleared, that also doesn't affect my future prospects with the company, or should I just let go and move on, as the HR accepted my request for immediate exit without any further probing?
Why are you assuming this isn’t acceptable behavior in her own private relationship? Mind your business.
Talking about me behind my back is the problem. Not what shit people do at workplace.
How do you know she talked behind your back
I mean if you didn’t catch them actually doing anything then why are you being such a weirdo about it? Jesus Christ people.
Yeah, didn't catch them in a 69 or something. It was just private talk in a room when the contractor should have been doing work assigned by me. Also, their getting afraid is something else. And she's just a chaste woman who like "50 Shades of Grey" on her FB because of the literary style.
Lmfao
How exactly do you know they are having an affair. I'll try to be delicate but... in some cultures, it's ok for women to hang out with men without their husband being present, and it doesn't imply they are having an affair.
Assume that it's true even if I can't explain how here.
Lol that's why our country is the way it is now...
Mind your business
Did you ever see them getting physical? Have you told anyone else? Did you start any rumors about them? Flirting & an affair is different.
Just saw them together several times when they had nothing to do in common about work and such couples are not common. That's not the prevalent culture so it's certainly odd and out of the blue. I didn't tell anyone or talk behind anyone's back. I ignored even though the contractor attempted to have a private talk with me.
Sounds like you’ve made an assumption that it was adulterous. Maybe they were friends outside of work. Maybe they met via one of the social channels on Slack or one of the groups like SAGE. Even if she has commented that women should be able to have affairs if they want doesn’t mean she definitely was with this contractor. And in the end, it’s not against company policy... If someone had told people I was having an affair based on seeing me alone with a man in a room I would never be able to work in technology seeing as I’m already in the minority... and I’d be furious and certainly wouldn’t want to talk to you. And finally, I might not agree with someone else’s choices but that doesn’t mean it qualifies as something to call in to the ethics line.
Cool story, bro
Troll
Lol. Your life is so sad and dull.
^You left the projector on in the conference room
Mind your own god damned business
Dude, you’re weird.
Damn.
Just tell her husband.
I don't want to get caught up in any personal or family drama. I'm more concerned about myself than her or her family.
