According to this article it seems that the owner of a small painting company is at risk of losing a $5,000 contract with a school system because he fired a woman and was honest (or dumb) enough to leave a voice mail saying he was firing her because she’s a woman, not for any legitimate work-based cause.  It gets better.

In the message the guy said that his wife found out he had some "girls" working for him and wouldn’t stand for that.  Seems she’s the jealous type.  So, he said, to avoid conflict at home he decided to fire the women.

Oh, there are so many things I could write here.  I’ll just limit it to these:

1. Dude, I admire your honesty but what were you thinking?  It can’t be a surprise that your wife is jealous, so why put yourself in that position?  It sounds like you are probably an honorable person so I’d recommend keeping the employees since they didn’t do anything wrong (i.e. they held up their side of the bargain) and dealing with your issues at home.
2. Maam, do you think in this day and age your husband will be able to do his job without encountering any women?  Are you going to fly into a jealous rage every time he talks to a female customer?  Do you want him to not hire the best available worker just because she’s a woman?  Do you want to eat and have a roof over your head?
3. Have either one of you heard of marriage counseling?  I think you might need it.
