Boss’ wife made me quit my job

Dear Pastor,

I hope that this letter finds you in good health. I am in my early 30s. I have two children. I was working up to recently, but I left my job.

My boss' wife started working with the company and she accused me of having an intimate relationship with him.

My boss and I were very close and she used to always ask me how come we are always talking. I told her we were always talking about company business. I told my boss what she asked me and he was very upset.

He called her into his office and called me too, and asked her to tell him what was her problem with me. She said she did not have any problem with me; she only believed that we were too close.

My boss cursed his wife right before me. I was shocked at the things he told her. When I went home, I told my sister what transpired and she suggested that I should leave the job. So, I sent in my resignation. I am doing my own business now.

My boss gave me some money to assist me, which she doesn't know about. He did not want me to leave the job, but I couldn't work with her anymore. None of the female workers like her.

Dear Y.L,

Evidently, this woman is overly jealous. Many husbands and wives work very well together; others don't. As a counsellor, I have had to counsel many women who were very suspicious of female workers.

They always believed that the women were in love with their husbands.

Some years ago, I knew a man who was in charge of an organisation and his wife worked with the company, and she told his personal secretary that she should listen in to his conversations when women call him.

When he became aware of what was happening, he fired her and she lost everything, including the company car she was given to drive.

You know that it is almost impossible not to interact with your boss if you hold certain positions in the company. I am sorry that you left your job, but you are not suffering because you are doing your own business. I wish you every success.

Pastor
