Prehistory: We have a nice woman at work in the team, aged 55-60. very cool specialist, valuable employee with great experience, and senior executives often come to her for advice. Everything would be nothing, if not one moment - her children grew up and left, her husband is not, to take care of and give warmth to no one. Therefore, she calls all without exception in the office gently, maternally, the “good” of me, “baby,” “sunny” and so on, even the guidance. They tried to fight with this, to talk about subordination, etc., but it proved useless.
Story: Yesterday my boss (young guy) brought his hysterical wife to the office to show what "Allochka" wrote to him on Skype and asked "the rabbit" to bring some documents there. The whole office rescued the poor man: showed his wife correspondence with this Allochka, proved that it was the same woman, and not a luxurious new brunette from the neighboring department.
