| Feb 10, 2017 at 16:30 | comment | added | O. R. Mapper | @AndrewBerry: "then his boss will be more likely to carry on in the same way" - so what? As others have said, it's certainly not "ok", but what harm would it cause to the OP or their career? "The only way reporting the incident works in the OP's favour is if the boss and secretary are sacked." - how so? Because, by the rules of a "Klingon promotion", the OP would become the new boss? I don't see the boss and the secretary getting sacked would invariably be in the OP's favour, and I could imagine various ways of this backfiring even after both boss and secretary have been sacked. | |

| Feb 9, 2017 at 16:18 | comment | added | Radu Murzea | @Draken "It's harder to do in 5 years if you didn't get the event documented" - in the unlikely event the OP actually needs it, maybe linking to this question would be enough (if he has proof that he is in fact the one who wrote it). | |

| Feb 9, 2017 at 9:30 | comment | added | Andrew Berry | Reporting this will only make things worse for the OP in terms of his relationship with his boss. If the OP carries on like nothing has happened, then his boss will be more likely to carry on in the same way. If the boss is worried, it's likely he will speak to the OP to clarify things. The only way reporting the incident works in the OP's favour is if the boss and secretary are sacked. | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 9:20 | comment | added | Draken | Who's to say things aren't already worse for the OP? The boss has been discovered and they know the OP has possible leverage on them could already hold bias against them for discovering their relationship? This is why these things should be documented so if there are problems, the OP has evidence to fall back on. It's harder to do in 5 years if you didn't get the event documented | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 9:13 | comment | added | Andrew Berry | If you report it, it's making a mountain out of a molehill. It's going to make things worse for the OP. Not necessarily in a way that can be reported, but it could be that the OP is put on less important work to reduce his chances of pay raises and promotions. It shouldn't have happened in the office, but it really isn't that big a deal, is it? | |
| Feb 9, 2017 at 9:09 | comment | added | Draken | The problem is that it happened in the office, if it happened outside of work, fine, but inside the office is a big no no. They shouldn't have done it in the office and hence why it should be reported. If it was outside the office, I would agree to ignore it, but the problem here is the misuse of the office | |
