If you found out a boss (or colleague) is cheating (gf/bf or spouse), does that make you lose respect for them even when it comes to their work/decisions?

^ nonsense. It's none of our business. Every person has their own circumstances and story. As long as they perform well, follow the laws, and are professional at work, their private lives are of none of ur concern

It's all about integrity. There's no shame in divorce. Man (or woman) up and have the stones to end one relationship before starting another. No harm, no foul. Otherwise, it's selfish cowardice and that always shows up in the workplace at some point.

In my 20s I would have said definitely yes. This is a black and white issue and all cheaters are scumbags. Now in my 30s I have lived more life and seen more things. A good friend of mine cheated and explained the situation to me. I def see it now as a gray area. Some marriages get really tough and stepping out might be better than divorce in some cases. Particularly for the kids. You haven't walked in another person's shoes so would suggest you don't write them off as a human being and certainly not as a co worker. Steve Jobs was a total asshole who harassed people and denied parenthood of one of his children. Most people still respect his work decisions.

A9, does that philosophy of not worrying what others are doing at home, and only worrying about what they do at work, pertain to other ethically or morally questionable actions as well? If you knew that someone was physically abusive to a spouse or child, or committed insurance fraud, or cheated at poker, or got into trouble financially due to a gambling addiction, that wouldn't impact the respect or trust that you felt for that person in the workplace? I respect your perspective, but definitely do not share it. For me, if someone has red flags that are indicative of ethical or moral issues, those red flags carry over to how I view someone at work, too.

More with the spouse than the other. Spouse is supposed to be a lifetime commitment. Can't trust them to do that, what else will they skip out on when things aren't going their way?

That's none of your business. You never know what the motivations are. It could well be that whoever is cheating is a worthless piece of shit or/but chances are it's way more complicated than that and for this reason would I rather not judge. Rule of thumb: if it's not affecting the work, don't mess with it

Yes, a commitment is a commitment. If you want to get out of the commitment, there are divorces. I think anyone who is willing to break their commitment by cheating on their spouse wouldn't think twice about breaking their commitment with their employees, client, etc.

Your personal life is yours, I judge by the work and what you do at work. Who knows the situation? And maybe focusing on work when at work might actually get things done....not worried what others are doing not doing when they are on their time.

@PwC4 Life is more interesting as an understanding person rather than a judgmental person. You never know what kind of shit someone is going through, and sometimes it results in shitty behavior. 🤷‍♀️

A10, thanks, but I don't need life lessons from you. I respect how you view the world, but I don't share your perspective. I am sure that there are many reasons that people feel validated for choosing to cheat on a spouse. I consider it to be reprehensible and despicable. You don't betray a person who you are supposed to treat with love, respect and honesty and remain someone who I am likely to trust or view as ethical.

like

PwC4 just an observation. Your last post about what people do at home, you used examples that are crimes. That's a different level than having an affair. Having an affair may be immoral but it's hardly illegal. I see a big difference.
