Since I can't talk about this IRL because nothing is set in stone and hush hush right now I decided to tell my GBCN friends!!!
I got a call from DH this afternoon ... apparently HR was in his store store today investigating his boss. (DH is an assistant manager). Manager has been doing some pretty shady things lately and has been in trouble for the same thing previously. It looks like he will be either fired or demoted.
Because of all of this DH was recommended for a promotion to manager! This would be a major pay increase and help us tremendously. It sucks that the promotion may come because of someone else doing shady work but it is something DH has been working for the past 3 years!
I am excited for his opportunity and I hope he is promoted bc he deserves it! These jobs don't come along often since the bubble burst.

I hope it works out!! My H is also up for a job, but it's still hush, hush (not promotion though, entirely different company)...and it would also double his income! It would change SO much for us.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both our H's!!!
good luck! i wouldn't feel bad about the current manager losing his job. he shouldn't be doing shady shit and if he's been reprimanded for it before he KNOWS it's wrong. no sympathy here.
thanks guys! It would be a great opportunity for him in the workplace and it would make our home life much better. We would be able to pay off our debt quicker and be able to move sooner.

I take issue with this part of your post: The bolded part is why the boss is suffering consequences, maybe, but it's not WHY your dh is getting the promotion. The italics part explains that!
