I can't blame you, but she will, never suspecting he agreed so quickly. If shes been a good secretary, I'd keep her, he probably told her that since hes divorced, there would be no problem, now hes done with her and you get to do the dirty work. I'd keep her, it would make it so much harder to do his double dipping at the office if he knows that you know, and she knows. Hes 52 and her boss, who do you think had the power in that relationship? But do have another talk to him about discretion at the workplace, it looks bad to have the boss known for taking the help for a tour of his desk.
I don't think you are a monster, but I do question your ex husbands motives for picking on your secretary, even if she vamped him, he could have said no. If she has been a help to you and you will be inconvenienced by having to replace her it seems to me that he will have made you his aid not only in breaking up with her, but in inconveniencing you.
Its up to you of course, but seeing as how you can't can the real villain in the piece, I wouldn't allow him to make your life and hers any more miserable than he already has. |

Whoa, you might want to talk to a lawyer about this. If you do this wrong your secretary might be running the company while you and your ex look for new jobs. |

What do you mean by "fooling around"? Does it constitute to any act which warrant the dismissal of the employee as stipulated in the employment contract or the employment act in your country?
If you fired her because of personal reasons, then she could sue you and your company for unfair dismissal.
Seek legal advice before you fire her. |

sounds like he started the affair so that you would have to fire her. |

yes, in most offices having sex during work hours is not permitted, she is not the victim because the both agreed to do it! |

Does she do a good job for you? Is she throwing the affair up in your face? If it's yes and no, then consider over looking it. You should expect and get an honest day's work out of her, and that does not include dallying with any one, but aside from that, good help is hard to find. |

If you fire her, your company will face a sexual harrassment suit. You should consult with an attorney about other options. Since you and your ex are running the company, you are both liable for the lawsuit. |

she might be just a victim...or she knows well what she's doing.... fire her if i can get over the feeling of guilt :) |

I think firing her will bring them closer together. If that's your goal, go for it. |

Is the reason you want to fire her because they fooled around in office hours? or because they fooled around at all?
If its because they did it in office hours fire her.
But if its because they just fooled around don't fire her because they will still fool around out of the office.

You've divorced right? So, if your secretary can't finish her work because of your ex - husband. I would fire her, but if it's for your personal reasons then only you can choose whether to fire or keep her as an employee. |

Always punish the guilty otherwise your conscous shall hurt you more and you shall feel guilty for firing the secretary. |
