There is a man in the company who is famously afraid of his wife.

He doesn't attend company dinners, doesn't take overtime, and doesn't reply to any work messages after 8 p.m.
Everyone makes fun of him.
Later, the company laid off some employees, and his name was on the list.
Then his wife showed up—she is the company's biggest client.
She told the boss, "You can lay him off, but I will cancel our contract tomorrow."
The boss immediately crossed his name off.
