In the US, most employment is at-will, which means they can fire you for any reason they want except for a list of prohibited reasons.

"Having sex with a direct report" is not on that list of prohibited reasons.

If you can be fired for any reason, then that's it and they can put in the contract that you aren't allowed to drink a glass of water if so be.

But does that make it reasonable for hackers to think that drinking a glass of water is some kind of horrible offence, like some lunatics seem to think about workplace relationships? Which are one of the most common way that people meet and get married.
