So of course throwaway, altough my boss is a senior off all social medias, so no chance in hell he will ever see this. Happened 3 months ago, land of the free in a medium size town. 

I (m 38) work as a dentist assistant. Worked the same place for 14 years, pay and work has been pretty nice for the last 13, before new owner came into our lives around 1 year ago. 

This is the biggest dentists office in town, really no competition. 4 dentists, 2 secretaries, 2 dentist assistants. Boss is the 5th dentist. 

Work environment have for a long time been cordial and nice. We are having lunch breaks together, and every 4 months or so a really nice barbeque with colleagues and their SO's. Really chill vibes.

Initially the new owner seemed nice, really positive and what at first i viewed as flirty in a charming "old guy" way (he is around 60, silver fox long hair, slim and tall, james bond kind of guy - i am not in love with this guy as i am happily married with 2 kids, but you know the kind of guy even texans could find charismatic). 

So first 4 months runs smoothly from what i can see. 5th month, im starting to see patients coming out of this guy's office in minor distress (somewhat red faces, avoiding eye contact, at one point almost tearing up). Hard to notice at first, but one of the secretaries makes me aware of it, and then it is unavoidable to see. One of the old timers came out very angry, confided to one of the secretaries that "this guy have serious attitude problems". Turns out he had been really demeaning to the guy (sighing during work-up, rolling his eyes when asked questions, seemingly acting like the customers problems were ridiculous). I had a hard time taking the customer seriously, as he was basically fuming and ive seen my share of high demanding pricks trough my days. This happened multiple times through the months, most patients just didnt want to talk about it (a lot of these patients speek poorly english). 

One day one of the secretaries tells me she has increasing amount of phone calls of people wondering about high bills. Turns out mister boss man is the one generating the higher bills. He does this in not an exactly illegal way, but highly unethical: he adds the most expencive materials (for the customer, not for the office - because of patents vs generica), he xrays the shit out of everything altough not called for, and so on. He is sweeping in probably per month around 3-4000 bucks this way, while really not adding to the treatment or his own costs. The customer takes the bill. 

So a while back i came in from the kitchen as i see this guy is brushing into one of the secretaries asses. The secretary is a quite young girl new to the office, around 26 years old. He notices me and just stride along smiling, as nothing ever happened. The secretary is standing stiff looking bothered, her eyes down. I ask what's up, and she just breaks down in tears (luckily no patients in the waiting room). Turns out this guy has been making aproaches for weeks. She had told him she was happily in a relationship, but he didnt let of and had basically been saying 'good luck on getting another job here without moving out of state'. She didnt know what to do as she has not a lot of education and is really depending on a good reference if she were to move. 

This shit pissed my right of. This guy have thrown this office out of ballance. However, he is the owner, and new owners in this part of the country is hard to come by. Legal actions against this guy would and should be taken, but the truth is it will fuck all of us up in some way or another.

Next days my passive anger kept on growing, and one night i snuck up to this guys house and keyed some good and deep fucking ripples into the door of this guys smooth ass black 2000's porsche 911 turbo. 

Bossman came in red and flustered to the office the next day, couldnt stop talking of how shitty this town is and that he should have never come here in the first place. Got his car sprayed decently fast, and now its starting to chill down again.

So, am i the asshole here? I guess i am an asshole for not calling him out, but small waves here would have disastrous consequences not only for me. I am tempted to repeating this in some way. Of course i will have to be extra carefull as he now is probably on high alert. What do you guys think?
