I just found out from a conversation that I was privy to that a colleague who I was sure was married and had two kids is single and queer. He was clearly hitting on our accounts manager, and the AM was clearly reciprocating. I'm just confused because I've seen his wife before. I don't want to be nosy, but I also do!! How would you find out more to satisfy your curiosity?

My, aren’t you the nosy one? Stay out of this unless the AM is the colleague’s direct report or your colleague isn’t hitting his sales numbers, etc. (assuming you are his manager)).

Failing that, if you don’t know this person well enough to ask them about their family then you should take it very slowly before starting gossip/rumors

Define "privy to". You could be very wrong about a lot of things here. The relationships, the individual experiences, the flirting, the reciprocation, the singleness or marriedness, the queerness.... just, try not to be a gossip. It's not a great way to be a person.

It’s none of your business but i can understand wanting to figure out why you thought you saw his “wife” if he’s single and gay.
If you know him well enough, ask who that woman was. If you don’t know him that well, accept that there was some kind of misunderstanding and get over it

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
