Everything was going nicely,the General Manager and my immediate online Manager all had a good working relationship - I had a crush on my boss and yes we flirted alot but I dont believe in crossing that line. Then one day my immediate online manager arrived to work devastated over catching her boyfriend with another woman. Her boyfriend use to work here as well,he was married when she and him started thier affair,he left his wife and the workplace for her. It was at this time information of my Bosses infidelities also came to light. He to had slept with my immedite ONLINE MANAGER along with some others. Then for some months while she was getting over her boyfriend being with another woman rumours of her and the boss sleeping together started. It did appear obvious. Since all of this information came to light I have lost respect for them both and finding it icreasingly difficult watching them lying to everyone - trying to manage the employees, the sniggering going on behind thier backs. I really like my job and have built some close friendships there. What do you think of this situation?

 Seems the culture in your workplace is stuck in a past age, when bosses thought they had a right to bed staff.Those days are long gone.Appropriate behavior does not include infidelity and casual sex between staff.Flirting with a manager or supervisor in a work placed should be discouraged, not encourage by a professional manager.Sounds like your workplace needs HR to deliver some workshops for Managers and staff on what is and is notappropriate in the workplace.Or else the business may get lumbered with a hugely expensive sexual harassment charge, along with lurid bad publicity in the media. And more sniggering from other businesses nearby.Shareholders and customers hate that sort of publicity.If the culture does not improve very soon go and work somewhere else where the culture IS more professional.
