Things have come together

After much suspicion about the editors behavior and loyalty to the project. Things came to light today or yesterday.
After a long chat on the walk to Baker street station on Tuesday evening, wasn't really planned as I'm sure the CEO wanted to catch up with one of the external marketing guys (he came in for a meeting/reassurance that our contract in June was definitely happening). THE GUY IS WORSE THAN MY BOSS WHEN IT COMES TO GOSSIPING! He wanted to know about what was going on in the office and I cleverly averted attention and threw it back at himself. I don't trust the sleeze. He pat me on the leg and i thought 'Hang on that ain't right...' so I've confirmed to myself this guy is a perv and not really to be trusted as far as you can throw tim. Obviously I'm not going to tell the boss about the pat on the leg as he'll flip at him and we may lose the contract, that's one thing I like abou him - he will stand up principles and cut his nose to spite his face if it's right.
So our conversation revolved around progress in the office, daily reports, where we were with the IT team - constant problems - they seem like amatuers to me reall, this is probably their first real project.
We came to the conclusion, progress was being made but only short term - we were more stable than ever keeping people for a month at a time, it didn't give them time to get comfortable and therefore cocky. People needed the reference, they knew it was necessary to to a good job to get their reference at the end of the month. However things were a little hazy with the editor, after her various interviews she inted pretty much everyone on board. The only issue was an elderly lady who the marketing huy knew and made a point of calling us and saying he knew her. He didn't tell us if she were good or bad but that created bervous vibes for my CEO. The editor like me is creeped out by the guy and to spite him invited her on board. The CEO didn't like the fact they knew each other - this could lead to spying etc...so told me to call her and tell her we changed our mind. She in turn kept calling us and basically was having a rant and even sent us a stroppy letter implying we were age discriminating. We just didn't want more politics, age didn't even come into our minds. Blahhh.
SO much bull to contend with, the CEO thinks the marketing guy is lying about his buisness ventures, his fiance, I must admit he is half the time gassing about maybes but could he really have become so successful after he got kicked out of our office. Felt like he was bragging to me when he took me to the meeting room to give me an update on his life. Meh, why am I the agony aunt?
