Today, I found out why my District Manager won't promote me to store manager; his wife thinks he's having an affair with me. If he promotes me, she will take that as evidence of the affair, and then will threaten to divorce him. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was turned down for a promotion because of complaints on my file. I’d never heard of them, so I demanded to see them. Every complaint was filed in the last six months and signed by either him or the other manager who doesn’t like me. Guess who got promoted instead? His “secret” side chick. FML
Today, my lazy manager, who blatantly spreads vicious rumors about employees, one which has ruined a marriage, has started targeting me because her lazy daughter was legally fired. Now I'm known around the office as "the whore who slept her way up the corporate ladder." FML
Today, my wife somehow found out that my "surprise bonus" from earlier this year was actually hush money from my boss to keep quiet about her affair. Rather than let a good thing alone, she threw a fit and called my boss's husband. Now I'm jobless, and my boss has sworn I'll never work in my industry again. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, I confronted my boss to find out why I was denied a promotion that she promised to me. Her response? "You should know by now I'm a liar. Not my fault if you believe the things I say." FML
Today, my boss made up a rumor that I was quitting my job so I wouldn't get the promotion that was coming up. There goes that raise I've been wanting for six months. FML
Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML
Today, I had an hour-long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML
Today, I found out that my wife has been having an affair with the guy who's been trying to get our relationship back on track. FML

Seriously, contact your local EEOC office or the Human Rights Commission. I don't know if they could do anything, but it never hurts to ask and seems like it would be some kind of discrimination.

If I were you, get Human Resources involved. Maybe a marriage counselor for the DM as well. But keep in mind, the DM could be just telling you an excuse as to why he won't promote you. This way he can promote someone else instead that may be better qualified. I hope that's not the case though because getting promoted within a company is a great start to a management career. Best of luck.

It's not like he has to tell his wife he promoted you. Or he could say he promoted another male

Try pulling the "I'm a lesbian" card on the wife. It works more than you realize

Butch up a bit and see if you can convince the wife you're actually a man / transvestite.

From the sound of it, if you live in an at will employment place, and all that is effecting the work environment, you should fire the husband. I say that only because it also eliminates his sister from the equation. I also want to point out that honestly there is not enough information to determine whether or not the DM has actually done anything to deserve the paranoia. Some people are just paranoid beyond belief. I do not know if it is a self confidence issue, control issue, or simply them being screwed in the head, but some people will take simply walking into a room occupied by the opposite gender as a sign their spouse is cheating. I knew a guy once who was convinced his girlfriend was cheating on him in college simply because she stayed an extra half hour one day to talk to a teacher during their office hours. I also knew a woman who was convinced my mother was trying to make a move on her husband even though my mother would have had carnal relations with a wild pig before she would have even considered touching the guy. Some people are just crazy and without the information we don't know if the DMs wife is one of those or not.
