61% Informative
Dear Good Job: My boss is having an affair and has his mistress visit him at his office.
What you need to consider is how quickly to quit (or risk being fired) Your boss may fire you or retaliate, and if so, negotiate for a big severance package.
Ask her what chores she’d like to take on: cooking, doing dishes, cleaning bathrooms, yard work.
Ask her to explore ideas about possible futures, but just as thoughts at this point, with no pressure to act on them.
If she's never had a job, the prospect of work is probably intimidating.
There are some ways to improve your work relationship with your current boss.
Ask for regular one -on- one check-ins with her, and send her a memo ahead of each meeting with the things you need her to approve or discuss.
If you tried one method, try the other, and ask her how she prefers to communicate.
