After Hours 20: Stuck in the middle with you, and you, and you...

Description:

Back in Episodes 19 and 20, when Liz and Larry discussed some of the pitfalls of office romances, they explicitly said, “Do not have an affair with a coworker (or anyone, really).” And on today’s episode, a listener who’s caught in the middle of some nasty emotional fallout shows us exactly why this never works out well. They’re unsure who in the office knows about the affair, and they’ve been pressed by one of the exes to get HR involved. So again, people: no office affairs! Then, a listener is tired of her boss’s sexist treatment of the new parents in her office, where men’s time is respected and women are expected to pick up the slack. Liz diagnoses this as a case of maternal wall bias, and offers some creative solutions to rectify the situation.
