Search Results: showing off the thongs

There is a young female manager who is dating a male assistant manager that directly reports to her. They spend most of their day in their private offices together and eat lunch together. They arrive and leave together. They pretend like they aren't sleeping together but everyone knows that they are.

Three staff members took pictures of the young female manager in a short skirt when she was bent over. The three staff members passed around the picture making fun of the manager. They talked about how she was dressing "slutty" and in short skirts to impress their boss who is the assistant manager.

The three staff members were all fired at once. A major drop in staff and a major loss to the company by stretching needed work too thin. On the day of the firing, the young female manager was so upset and humiliated that a picture was being passed around by her staff showing a "thong" that she has taken sick days off and hasn't returned since. In the meantime, the remaining staff is angry and upset about the manager being in a relationship with their direct boss (the assistant manager). The staff fears that the boss is going to return angry and retaliate by being harsher to the staff.

How should the female manager best address the work crisis situation?
