Infidelity at the Workplace...

I have read lots of articles in magazines and heard stories from other people but I have never experienced this first-hand until the past 6 months or so.

It started with our main production supervisor and one of the plant processors sneaking around in storage rooms and taking 2 hour lunches. Other employees claim to have caught them "making out" but Tony or I never caught them ourselves...but other clues were evident that the stories may be true...nevertheless, one is married but had cheated before and the other was in a long term relasionship that involved a child. We think things are still going on, but they have "toned" things down a good bit in the past month or so.

Today, scenario #2 happened and I saw it myself! We have a male store clerk that has been with us 6 months (and he has been one to witness the other couple in situations)...he is married (just a year) but supposedly is not happy in his marriage. My new office assistant has been married 4 years and has 2 children but has also told me she is not happy in her marriage. Today it took her like 3 hours to pull her meat and cheese down in the store (which I thought was a bit odd but I let it go)...until I saw at around 5:00 pm her and the store clerk coming out of the office together with sheepish grins on their faces (plus he got off at 3:00 and NEVER stays late!), so I watch them get into her car together and she drives him over to his car (which is parked out in the corn field) and I watch them kiss before he gets out and goes home!! I was in total shock!

We so need to write a book!! I just can't believe that people will give up their whole lives for one cheap thrill, I mean once the sneaking is over and they get caught will it be worth it? Think about the kids in these situations, their lives ruined forever, for what?

I am not sure yet how I will face either of them at work, but I am sure I will be letting them know that I am aware of what is going on...
