Colleague treating fiancé like shit

[beeefcake]

A colleague of mine will regularly call his fiancé up at work and speak to her like absolute shit. Patronising, talking down to, trying to confuse her, making her apologise or "be grateful", and it's becoming quite uncomfortable. DH wouldn't dare talk to me in such a way and if he did I would go ballistic.

I am flabbergasted that he does this in blatant war shot of everyone, but it's been going on ever since he's worked here (nearly a year now). Lots of other people have noticed it as well and said the same thing.

He is in general not a very likeable character and everyone finds him extremely difficult to work with. I have met his fiancé once and she seems the polar opposite to him and is extremely nice.

I fully appreciate it's none of my business but it is really horrible to listen to almost every day, and I really feel sorry for her. What would you do?!!!

It is your business if you have to sit and listen to it, complain to HR and say its creating a negative atmosphere at work and affects how much you trust him.

Maybe it’s their kink?

Complain though, you shouldn’t have to hear it.

Thank you, I think I will if it carries on.

I also just found out that he had an exchange with a fellow colleague yesterday and said something extremely insulting about her appearance which left her upset. He's just a nasty piece of work all round I think.

You can complain to HR to stop yourself having to listen to it, but you sound nice and I think you'll still be upset knowing it's still going on out of your ear shot
