She basically ruined this guys business and is only dating him for the money. Every decision made in the company started to be influenced by this lady and the owner (my dads friend) started to change..a lot. He started arguing with people, telling people to work harder, and basically told everyone that they weren't doing their job. Now he has a bad rep, my dad started his own firm, and people around town don't trust this lady because she was having an affair without anyone noticing way before my dad started working for them. She then started to spread rumors (lying) that she wasn't the one cheating on him and that it was her wife, and people found out that she was lying. After that everything went downhill from there.

Three woman, a blond, a brunette and a red-head all work for a very important and tough female boss. Everyday the boss always leaves two hours early. Getting their courage up they all agree to leave work a half hour after their boss and enjoy the afternoon. The next day they all leave early and go their separate ways. The brunette goes shopping, the red-head goes to the beach, and the blond goes home. Upon getting home the blond finds the front door to the apartment she shares with her boss unlocked. She quietly creeps in and spies her boss in bed with her boyfriend! She hurriedly leaves. The next day the three woman are talking about their wonderful afternoon off early except for the blond. At the end of the conversation the red-head suggests that they all do it again. this is when the blond speaks up, "Easy for you to say but I almost got caught!" I’m reminded of an old office joke.

Things were great until I got sick of her "ways" a few months later. Thankfully, I was in the position to quit Apple and work my business full time. That being said, I now live by the saying, "don't dip your pen in the company ink." When I worked at Apple I got involved with a girl there.

Great to hear. I think for something to really work, you have to set rules. Because the minute you let your professionalism down at work because of the relationship, trouble comes to play.
