The Wife Strikes Back

Years ago, I had to make a decision - to endorse to fire someone in my team. She's a gone case actually - no regard for deadlines, going around gossiping, below par quality of work, etc. But I felt really bad. Really, really bad. I felt sick in my stomach. This is not me. And that was the moment that I knew I was never going to be a good manager. I went to see two of my bosses - AA and ABA (hello ABA!). ABA gave me a book to read - Thick Face Black Heart - and said at certain point in our lives we have to be thick-faced and act by a black heart. So, that person got fired.

Today, once again I became thick-faced and black-hearted. Nope, I didn't fire anybody in my company. I wrote an email to the CEO of this organisation that my hubby used to work with to lodge a complaint against a lady who has crossed the line - my line. I don't really care what she did previously, but this was the final straw. She created a fitnah against hubby even when the guy is no longer working there. My point in the email - the fitnah affected me personally (as a mother and as a wife), and professionally (as the employer of hubby).

I don't know what will come out of that complaint, but this time I don't really feel bad. Because it's about time someone put a stop to such an evil woman. And if I managed to put a stop to her behaviour, then I am contented. It might not make me a popular person, but I need to clear my hubby's name.

Now she knows the consequences when the wife strikes back.
