Maybe I'm being WAY too serious for a Friday or maybe it is from all the sexual harrassment issues from my MMORPG, but I think the "tap the gf" thing is gross...using her (and note the term...USING) to get back at somebody else is not only immature, but very degrading to her.
For the submitter - this is a wrongful termination thing. Steve, aka douchebag, is pretty much guilty of entrapment. A supervisor cannot recommend leave and then punish you for it. His immediate supervisor should be told about the situation - in person. Using the phone allows them an out - oh I have another call, answering machine, etc etc. I'd bet Douchebag's supervisor isn't the best manager you'll meet, but maybe he/she will have enough sense to (at best) give you your job back or compensate you for the work time lost.
Good luck and keep us updated!
