What Schuie said.

Suck it up and let the dissatisfaction be a motivator in finding a new job. Negative motivation is still motivation.

She should say/do absolutely nothing until the better offer is on the table.

From a management perspective, if I had an employee come to me and (even politely) tell me what your wife is considering telling her boss, I'd say "don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out". Dissatisfied employees are only marginally productive and extremely corrosive to the attitude of those remaining. I'd cut the losses and terminate her immediately. A marginally productive employee that's damaging to morale and motivation in the department is only a little bit better than a vacancy - and a vacancy doesn't cost anything.

Sorry. I know that's not what she'll want to hear, but there's a smart way to play this and a stupid way. I'll bet she already knows which is which.
