She's switching to Public Affairs.

Standard HR. Not a profession that’s renowned for moral and ethical integrity.

Well she is working with people. Two of them but one didn't know about the other.

my understanding is the wife already changed her last name on facebook, so divorce filing is pretty much a given. He is definitely claiming no salary income, but she's gonna grab him by the assets

Don't forget about how he blames the Democrats for getting 'canceled' and gets a speaking role at the next Republican Convention.

I've seen this response a ton and I think that's exactly correct, but I can't imagine the anxiety in the hours, day and weeks after. Just waiting and wondering if anyone recognised you, if anyone had a recording/proof. Then after a few months under the radar I might not be a complete train wreck.

But then what if Coldplay puts out a Netflix special or something, then I'd have to wait and wait until it came out and then watch it and see if that moment makes it into the recording... And if it does? Now I'm just waiting for some random friend of a friend to watch it and go "hang on..."

I think I'd rather this timeline, if I was that idot.

Probably why I'd never cheat on my partner, especially at a huge public gathering, when the person I'm cheating with is an employee and I'm the fucking CEO and could lose my job over it.

Thankfully this man will certainly continue to fail up, and as soon as this news quiets down he'll get hired by some other goon just like him to some other lucrative job where you just have to be an asshole a few times a week and otherwise the money will roll right in.

Yeah same for real though, are people this bored??

He was technically her boss. And he gave her that job. Was it because she was sleeping with him? That will certainly cause people at the company to assume so. So whenevr the next person doesn't get a promo, they will sue because the company fostered an environment where you only get ahead by having sex with your superiors. Also, most companies have a written policy about fraternizing with subordinates. It usually states termination as a consequence of breaking the policy.

It's not the cheating. It's the "porking your HR lady" part that's a problem for companies who dont want to get sued.

I haven't read to many articles on the matter but for all we know hr lady does not like him at all but wanted to keep/get that job and now she is stuck in an abusive relationship. Can't share with her partner cause yeah... And can't get HR to step in cause... Yeah.

No evidence that is the case but that's why we should fire CEOs who date their underlings. You are right we should absolutely not be firing people for not abiding a religious/social contract that has nothing to do with their job.

Because it's a conflict of interest to not disclose a relationship with a subordinate. This is a normal course of action, it's just been denormalized as of late.

I think the main issue is that he was cheating with the head of HR

Two coworkers on equal footing is one thing (though still discouraged), but when there's a power imbalance (ceo-hr, manager-associate) it becomes a pretty significant conflict of interest.

Some examples;

A Manager gives favor to their lover and promotes them over other employees that fit the position better or did more to earn it.

CEO signs off on a big bonus for their subordinate lover, who then shares it with them on a fancy cruise.

People can remember two things, and lots of people like drama. This is a short laugh at a CEO getting a very small amount of comeuppance. It's not going to make us forget how terrible Trump is or that the government is actively covering up for pedophiles.

We need small breaks of laughter to keep sane sometimes.

Why did this story distract you so easily

These multiple rounds of interviews to get a job are fucking ridiculous. They chose the pope in two fucking days, you do not need a week’s worth of interviews to know if I’m worth giving a paycheck.

Pity. I hear they have an opening for CEO, with perks.

Really? How would this have impacted you as an employee? And how do you know the other companies are different?
