Get her pregnant so she goes back on maternity leave.

This is an excellent, pragmatic solution, I'm sure this could all be down to the sexual tension anyway. Also a wonderful opportunity to sate any hairy armpit fetish that may be floating around.

Let's summarise:

1. Chairman decides you're the best he's ever seen and offers you a role which you accept on the spot (this is what we call a Terrible Mistake).

You can't stop point 1 there! Please bestow upon us the wisdom of magnolia, should he have said "Don't call me, I'll call you"? Or perhaps thrown him off his guard by demanding a job as the cleaner?

Lol women ehh... had a female coworker like this at a previous job. If the boss was out at a meeting she wiukd be straight in the phone nattering to her mates about what to have for dinner..****ging of someone else or sharing pearls of wisdom of x factor

my advice is dont play the long game strategy because your a professional and the ceo mds etc have already said they they think your ace.

Youre in a unique position to tell it to them straight because youre the outsider in this menage o trois

Time to manup and tell THE CEO to sort this or jog on

2. French equal tells you directly and openly she has a problem with you and takes that problem to someone who can affect everything you do in the work environment, the Chairman.

3. The Chairman listens and acts on this (remember point 1?)

4. You don't speak to her or him, instead you post on a computer forum, insisting that you are not weak.

You're new, you don't have the ear of the Chairman, you've effectively been demoted, and haven't talked to anyone meaningful about this.

I'd start looking for a new job if I were you and have a good, long think about how to manage relationships at both an equal and very senior level. Because she's done a number on you and it'll be very difficult indeed to shift this in your favour without some mesmerising footwork which I don't think you posses from your OP.

All this.

as an aside - WTF is the Chairman getting involved in this sort of thing for anyway.... surely the day to day running of the company is down to the MDs and ultimately the CEO.

its probably a 3 man band ( now 4 until OP gets sacked )

TBH the company was probably hoping mum to be quits and goes quietly, there will be an epic stink if they are trying to leaver her out around the time she is preggers. Combined with a bit of shared nationality its a crapstorm in a basket potentially. No one cba to deal with.

I put money on them covering their bases that she was going to quit after her maternity leave so hired you. It is what mostly happens. Now they are in the position of having a fragile new mum who could be a potential **** storm of legal issues if they do anything that threatens her job.

If there is no one there you feel you can work with to put you in the position you want, then the only recourse is to leave.
