What would you do if your SO was called a "lazy c*nt"? [View all]

Last night I got a call from my ex wife's son who still lives at home that when she was at work earlier, her boss called her a "lazy c*nt". She got upset and quit the job right there. Her son told me she was in bed and didn't want to talk to anyone but I talked to her this morning and she seemed to be upbeat but she just called again and was near tears.

This is the first job she's had in about 15 years as she has mental health problems. It wasn't much of a job but it was one we both thought she could handle and we thought she was lucky to get it given her past history. One of her tasks yesterday was to peel onions and put them in a container which she did but she didn't place the container where it normally goes as there was no room. Her boss came in, didn't see the container and said to her "Start peeling the onions you lazy c*nt".

I was so pissed about this when I heard it I wanted to go to the bosses home and mess him up good even if it meant me going to jail. But the ex has the vehicle so about all I could do was steam for awhile and then cool down. It's one thing for a boss to yell at an employee but quite another to use such words and he's well known for saying such things to his female employees. A number of whom quit because similar things were said to them.

I know enough about how this guy runs his business where I could take him down legally. But I'm going to leave what is to be done to the ex altough I will try to convince her that this kind of shit can't be tolerated.
