I hope there was more to these claims that we weren’t privy too.

IMO, should be illegal for company policy to retaliate against someone for a personal romantic relationship.

Which of the following views do you find problematic, inexplicable, or unjustifiable

- Conflicts of interest compromise trust and judgement

- Relationships with direct reports create a conflict of interest

- Relationships with direct customers create a conflict of interest

- Policies should be set such relationships are either disallowed or require strict oversight / disclosure

- Companies should enforce their stated policies equally as required by employment law

- Affairs demonstrate a lack of judgement, a lack of candor, and are problematic for positions of trust

- An executive that lies about an affair creates a risk of blackmail and a liability for the company

You don’t see an issue sleeping with the CEO of a company you made a business deal with?

Are you serious?

It's not a personal romantic relationship if the other side is either a direct subordinate or the head of a chip smuggling operation in violation of federal export control laws
