employee 1 has been widowed for almost ten years and has never dated after her husband's death. her BOSS pursues her and asks her out. they carried on a 'secret' relationship for almost 3 years. she has never told anyone because she wanted to protect him--afterall he's the boss. after years of it being okay being secretive he decides to call it off because all of the sudden he says he wants a more open relationship. come to find out he's dating employee 2 within the same work group. employee 1 is doing her best to deal with the situation, but is being harassed by employee 2 and other employees by flaunting the employee 2 and boss relationship in front of her. adding the salt to the wounds has caused her to seek medical attention from all the stress at work (weight loss, anxiety, panic attacks, depression). employee 1 finally broke down and told the boss' boss and now he's fired. she is afraid she'll get fired too. is that grounds for termination?
