At least now you get paid for it.

whaddya you know, she actually did something about it.

who else think they both are about to fall in love and getting married.

I think that there's something very very wrong with your boss's policy. If that's how he faces problems, well you definitely have a problem.

I wish it meant you were promoted to her manager and listening to her is part of you job description now to "foster a safe workplace environment". Alas! since it's on FML.... Good luck to you, find a better job.

Ask her if she needs some cheese and crackers, to go along with her wine !!!

I'm pretty sure that's not legal to do, you can try taking it up with HR.

I find that moments like these is great time to destress and ponder the many questions of life. Just occasionally nod and change your facial expressions. If they want you to talk, just say, "I understand" or "What do you mean". Works like a charm with my mom.

I would take that to HR and if that doesn't work, their boss, and if not that the owner or VP of the company. That is not part of your job. And if you have an union, tell them asap.

They cannot make it a part of your job description to listen to someone complain.
