Hi ARchna :
Firstly, I do not buy this logic of big hits me so I hit.. It is generalised unjustifiably. Such victims do not know how to tackle those bigs... There are certainly instances advocating this statement. But not in an alarming scale. If an organisation allows the culture of 'big hitting small ', what sort of understanding and judgement would prevail over there. Certainly such stinking culture itself will kill the oganisation.
Regarding the case of your friend, she is in a pitiable situation, nodoubt.
The doting boss, exploiting assistant, boiling others... I do not see any polished way of bringing sense to boss & his assistant - immoral pestilence. But there is a way.. It needs ruthlessness. Since both are married (hope not to each other), someone should make calls to their homes and sound their spouses. Send letters on this illicit relationship and its effect on the organsiation to the board members. (nothing wrong in sending anonymous letters). Apart from this, the very powerful action would be.. all the members should unite and raise their voice against the assistant to the assistant herself. Shake her up.. instill a moral fear..Will the employees do this.. ? !
The above is not a fiction-idea. It was tried in an organsiation I worked earlier. The boss was sacked. His assistant left the job.
