On Friday, I took a late lunch and came back to the office around 3. It's a small office, and there are only 5 of us total. Two were out for the week on spring break vacations with their kids. When I came back, I heard noise coming from a closed door at the end of the hall - it's a conference room. I opened the door and there's my boss (who is married) with his secretary and they're in - let's put it politely - a very compromising position. I shut the door, but they both saw me. I left the office right away, and now I'm wondering how to handle this on Monday. I need the job, and I don't want to be fired. As far as I'm concerned, it's their business. On the other hand, I think that they are both embarrassed and probably now feel that I've got something on them. That can't be good for my future. Would I be smart to start looking for another job?

If you want to start just looking for another job just to be on the safe side, it won't hurt anything. As of right now though, when you go back to work, if I was you I would just act like nothing happened at all. *If* he happens to say anything to you, just say, it's none of my buisness. Just leave it at that. Good luck! :-)

You should start looking for another job just because you clearly can't trust the boss. I would just act like nothing happened until then. If they ask you, say, "Look it's none of my business and I do not want to be involved in any way."

I would go in ask to meet with your boss. He's the one who is over you not the secretary. I would apologze for entering the room withour knocking explain that you were concerned about the noise. Tell him it will never happen again and hope for the best. They should be the ones worried not you.

When you go in be professional, do your job. See how your boss acts and play it by ear. Throughout the day you might casually mention that you really don't care, a raise would be nice and you could use Friday off.

I would try to let them both know that you will not repeat or act upon what you saw, then wait and see what they do. You would be smart to prepare an updated resume, just in case.

act like nothing happened, let them mention it first, and if they do so long as you're ok with covering for them just make sure that they know you wont jeopardize anything but you dont like the position they put you in then get on with things and just leave it alone! as you said its their business!

Don't start looking for another job. You can easily use this incident as blackmail to get whatever you want.

Go to work as normal and act like you didn't see anything. they might not bring it up. I doubt your boss will fire you. You have this "scandal" over his head.

I'd act like nothing happened. The ball is in their court.

You have the goods on them. So put it in the bank, if you know what I mean.
