Work ethics is a fortnightly feature in Guardian Work where a reader submits a workplace dilemma and asks for your help. A selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.

This week's question

I've discovered that a colleague is having an affair with our boss and I think I'm the only person who knows. I wouldn't mind but the colleague is married and I've met her partner before – if it were me, I'd be devastated. Should I confront my colleague, tell her partner or just mind my own business?
