Dental assistant Melissa Nelson was fired by her boss of 10 years because he felt her presence was a threat to his marriage
Horndog bosses in Iowa have a new tool to save their marriages — they can fire employees who are too hot for the workplace.
The state’s all-male Supreme Court ruled 7-0 Friday that an Iowa City dentist legally canned his female assistant because she was “irresistibly attractive” and a threat to his marriage.

Married co-workers sending and/or receiving sexy messages may have been a tad too far. : (
It’s just a sad and confusing culture we have going here.
We don’t know if the messages were “sexy.” They just were there.
Another reason I keep all messages and communication with “the boss” at arm’s length. My boss is not my buddy, ever.
