We have become a permissive society in regard to sex and extramarital affairs. What’s so wrong about having an affair with another employee in the company? I think they are making a big deal about this.

It is inappropriate to have relationships with subordinates.

Do you really think there is no issue with a person in a position of power engaging in an affair with a subordinate?

It's not "another employee" it's a direct report, a power imbalance so cliched that it's the first dot point in any HR/P&C management course

Well seeing how he also had an affair with a Chinese spy and broke federal law in assisting the Chinese government to access to billions of dollars worth of frontier AI chips, it's a little more than just worrying about extramarital affairs.

This is why you should only do one shitty thing at a time and not multiple.
