while at his place of employment a man has a less physically apt subordinate employee that is just as needy of his time, resources, and energy as is his wife at home.

a non-sexual relationship where an employee relies on his boss for multiple aspects of assistance while at work and sometimes beyond. often results in physical acts of assistance such as lifting heavy objects, opening tough jar lids, and in lengthy sessions of advice or guidance.
Employee: "Hey Boss, can you separate these parts for me? They're really stuck together, and I can't get them apart."

Boss...loosens parts and hands back to employee: "Here you go."

Other employee: "What's that all about, Boss?"

Boss: "Oh, I have to open things like that all the time for him. It's like he's my work-wife."
