"He got a Bumpy Dick:" Part 2

So we left off with the smoking gun, but I lied, there were two.

Firstly, I decided to go through his e-mails one last time. I just needed to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing. I was really concerned about the wellbeing of the female staff; they always say when there's smoke, there's fire, and I just really wanted to make sure these women were safe from harm.

And there is was. E-mail chains of extremely sexually explicit poems he sent to another female staff, who we’ll call Grace, from the year before.

It’s important to note a few things:

Marcus’ wife was a long term employee of ours. The poor woman was riddled with cancer and extremely sick, and we unfortunately had to end her employment after her FMLA and ADA leaves exhausted.

At the time of the investigation, Marcus was 30. Not that this matters, but his wife was 17 years older than him. The two met at work. These e-mail chains happened while his wife was battling cancer. Meanwhile, the woman with whom he was e-mailing was also married.

But it gets worse…

They actually met up and had sex. At work. In the family restroom. On a wooden bench where parents’ change their infants’ shitty diapers. While they were both married. And while Marcus’ wife was battling cancer.

The e-mail chain I discovered detailed everything. Grace encouraged Marcus to meet her in the family restroom, to e-mail her when he got there, and to knock two times. Roughly 45 minutes later, Marcus e-mailed Grace and said “you’re so amazing sexy”, “I got more for you” and “I’m not leaving here.. we close at six and i will be here to 10:00 PM alone.” The horndog wanted seconds!

Marcus continued communicating with Grace, and continued to send sexual poems to her. Quotes from these poems are, "“I want to see you, see you/put your fingers in/I want to watch you rubbing/while you’re fingering…” The e-mails went on for about six months, when Grace stopped answering.

After going through the e-mails, I conducted a followup interview with Marcus, the company whoremaster. I asked him if he’d ever been sexually involved with any of his staff or someone outside of his department. He thought for a second and then admitted that he used to “mess around with” an employee who he recently hired to work as his subordinate. So he hired this slut so he had a work whore? (By the way, as soon as that interview concluded, she resigned effective immediately.) I asked him about his involvement with Grace, and showed him the email chain. He denied having sex in the family restroom. I pointed out the “that was so good response.” He immediately began to weep, and told me that it was during a really hard time in his life and he was sorry. I let him know that we would be in touch with him once the investigation concluded.

Obviously, Marcus was terminated for his gross misconduct (see that double entendre there?). When I met with him to discuss the findings of the investigation, he sobbed. He explained how much he needed the job, and repeated that the affair was because of the stress he was dealing with due to his wife’s illness. Part of me wanted to say I’m not the fucking EAP and that he should have found a better way of dealing with his grief than sleeping with a woman who wasn't his cancer ridden wife, and the other part of me kinda felt a little bad to see a grown man cry (but that was a very small part of me).

I intentionally included text from the filth he sent on our network in his termination letter so that he would be mortified to take it to unemployment. He never did.

I guess I’ll never know if the other allegations are true, if he sexually harassed all of those other women or not. But I can say that judging from Grace’s lack of responses after they banged in the family restroom, maybe Marcus did have a small bumpy dick?
