AlmostAtheist,
When I was DF'd the first time, I told my JW co-worker about it. (She works in another state, at the head office) I felt an obligation to let her know, I was still a "good dub". She treated me horribly, wouldn't return my calls or emails, was very unhelpful, militant. This time around, when I left on my own, I haven't told her about it to avoid the very situation you are experiencing. Others I've mentioned it to say if she ever finds out and returns to her ways, I should go to the management.
I think you should mention to the dub worker that whatever religious objections he/she may have toward the fader need to be left outside the workplace. That any perception of religious prejudice could bring a lawsuit against the company. Besides, his/her God surely doesn't want her to treat anyone differently based on their religious beliefs in the workplace, does He?
I don't know if you're in a position to have that conversation or not, but if you are, it sounds like a good way to go. But no, I've never been in your position.

If only the majority of never-been-dubs was fully aware of how the active JW's are encouraged to be so negative towards one of the ex's, even ones that may really want to get reinstated at some point, there might be a total stop to WT growth.
That would be great if the situation could be remedied by talking to the active JW and making it clear regarding the workplace being totally immune to the WT; maybe that would get a response. then again, I could see being a little concerned said JW doesn't get the panties in a wad and end up blabbing her bosses name to someone who might recognize it and start trouble for him, as well.
Also, sadly, based on seeing things happen at certain workplaces over a period of time, it seems that if someone's higher up the ladder, they happen to be in the "right" regardless of whether they actually are or not, and unless you're someone especially important to the company, if the company sees detriment in keeping both people on and without an easy solution to the problem, it's possible they might find reasons to get rid of the person lower on the ladder -- at least based on what I've personally seen, though things may be different where you're located (hopefully so!). Hopefully I'm wrong on each thing here and that the dub could be repremanded in some way as to stop the b.s.~!
