I inherited a couple in my team when I started at this company, my predecessor (stupidly) hired the partner of a staff member who has been with us for over 20 years. I flagged this to my management a while ago and they chose to do nothing.

She is a 10/10 performer, and he has been difficult since day 1. He has recently made a serious mistake which immediately went above my head to HR who have made the decision to fire him next week.

This conversation is coming up next week, and it’s clear he hasn’t made his partner aware of the situation and upcoming meeting.

I’m now terrified of the fallout, where both their teams will likely fall apart or I’ll receive some serious backlash from his partner (if she stays) and the rest of the team.
