adding insult to injury

I did the "guess I should have known thread", so some of you may be familiar with my situation.
Some of you may also know that my SO worked with me at my former company, which is one of the reasons I did not pursue a lawyer, as many of you advised.
My SO called me just now to ask me if he could go to the company holiday, winter, completely PC party x;-).
The irony is that we have'nt had a party for three years now even though there were many requests for one.
I planned the last one.
During that party was when my SO and I met.
I think I'll milk the guilt factor and get some long ignored chores done around here between now and then.

BTW, I was not one of the ones who urged you to seek legal counsel, I suggested you think it through carefully and decide what your motivation was for pursuing any recourse. I like it when I'm right.x;-)
Oh Ray, savor the moment!x;-)
Parabeagle, they worship the ground he walks on there so I doubt they would have done anything to him. It was the strange winces, sighs, and a multitude of gulping noises emitting from the poor dear when I would grumble about lawyers that made me take pity on him.
A Curse on their party!x}>

I disagree with PB that to 'retaliate against him for your actions would be illegal'. Not so. But if he's a crucial ee maybe they'll leave him be. As I recall, when last we tuned in you were waiting patiently for a contact from the board of directors. I thought then as now that you will never have such a contact. It's not in the cards. Nothing personal. For business reasons, they have to distance themselves from a terminated employee unless they are trying to build a case against the terminator, which apparently they aren't.
Just to show what a sport you are, and to ensure that your SO has a grand time at the event, press a bit of limburger cheese into the side pocket of his blue blazer as you stand on your tiptoes to kiss him goodbye for the evening. And if you have pets, a strategically pressed little ball of poop up against the heel of his shoe will make the party go even better. If he stands around the punchbowl most of the evening, this ought to cancel any thoughts of next year's event. Who knows, he may even be home earlier than expected. (I'm here to help x:-))
I did actually meet with the Board and he did take my documentation seriously, I wrote about it on my last thread but it has sunk to the bottom of the har har screen. From what I hear, not through my SO but others, the BOD is taking a rather severe look at managment right now.
This has actually been a good experience overall. Major shifts are occuring at the old place. Justice actually does happen!
And yes my SO felt guilty and that is why he asked. I live with him and we have his son over with us during that time. I love the little guy and love spending time with him. I say it's an evening well spent while my dear guy stinks up the party. x;-)
Don't go to the party and play the "in your face" game.
Do something you REALLY want to do.
