Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“The idiocies of where we are now are rather illustrated by this local story. First off an example of the volatile nature of lesbian relationships, noted by research but generally sidestepped. The female sense of entitlement, I can think of many heterosexual couples in working in care roles who wouldn’t think that they could/should have shifts moulded to their convenience, usually the men in particular simply accept “its the job”. In its generally held to be not a good idea for “partners” to work closely together and often in heterosexual (and to be fair male homosexual couples) one or other will make a move to not work closely with each other. It is no surprise that it’s a female couple which feels entitled to dictate shifts to convenience them to be together. Then of course, to being nice to women, the “wife” may not have known about her “wife’s” plan to attack their boss but can you imagine a husband, who had already been harassing this manager with their wife, getting off as if just a nice person who somehow was not implicated? Really a vignette of the times as “what women want” trumps any accepted work practices or common sense nor indeed doing a job as priority while you’re being paid to do it.”
