An employee's boss is having an affair and is making unethical requests, like distracting his wife and dealing with his mistress. It's crucial to consider quitting and to document everything, including inappropriate requests. Saving any communication on personal devices is recommended. If financially feasible, the employee should refuse to cover for the boss and prepare for potential retaliation. Consulting an employment lawyer could be necessary if the situation escalates, ensuring the employee is aware of their rights and potential severance.
Please do start looking for a new job, because a boss who is unethical enough to ask a subordinate to distract his spouse to cover up an affair is unethical enough to fire anyone who balks or complains.
Starting immediately, document everything. Each time he asks you to cover for him (or do anything inappropriate), keep notes with dates and details. Save any relevant text messages, voicemails, emails, and notes on your personal device.
If you have enough savings to get through a short period of unemployment, think of this as your 'fuck you fund,' and refuse to cover for your boss the next time he asks.
If he retaliates, keep lots of notes, and you should take your story to an employment lawyer and negotiate for a big severance package.
