Old Colleague
Her husband had been a partner at the company, then left, but she still thought she was a cut above the rest of us at the same level and deserved special treatment. She used to pop out during work time to go shopping, delegate all her work to juniors who could barely deal with it, and generally skive.

We'd all moaned about it and it eventually came to a head with a team meeting which involved a senior partner coming in as an independent arbitrator.

Senior partner reached the conclusion that she was workshy and needed to buck her ideas up. He summed up by suggesting she needed to mend her ways, and that we'd review in a month.

She brought in the whole 'What would Christian say? This is outrageous the way you're victimising me!'

Senior bod responded by getting his phone out, calling Christian, telling him exactly what he'd just told his wife, then arranging to go for a pint the next evening.

Oh that's nice.
That's good. That's very good. This is a winner, methinks - and so early, too!

They're still together
He had been her boss to begin with, which was how they'd got together, so I think he realised the complaints were legit. He probably felt it was time to cut off any involvement at work. Bet he got the cold shoulder for a bit though, yeah.

EDIT - Meant as a reply to username_failed_moderation, obviously...

Methinks
Christian probably hasn't got his legover since.
