The article discusses a workplace dilemma where an employee is frequently late, affecting team dynamics. The lateness is attributed to her romantic involvement with the boss, creating concerns for her colleagues. The advice suggests starting with a direct conversation about the issue and documenting instances of tardiness if improvements aren't made. It underscores the importance of addressing the impact on the team rather than the nature of the relationship, while also noting the legal protections against retaliation for raising such concerns.
Sleeping with the boss has almost never ended well for anyone - not the boss, and not the person sleeping with the boss. And that's not even counting the chaos that ensues for the rest of the workplace when this happens! In other words, this is a potential professional minefield, and you're right to be concerned about possible repercussions.
Have you had a conversation with her about her tardiness? I would start there, and see if you can get through to her about how it's negatively affecting the team.
Whether or not she's sleeping with the boss, she should still be concerned that her behavior has an impact on the rest of her team.
When you do that, I'd focus on the impact that her tardiness has on everyone else-not on the relationship with the boss.
