alt Hacker NewsWe 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.

Do you really think there is no issue with a person in a position of power engaging in an affair with a subordinate?
It shows you are easily manipulated, can make bad decisions.
I don't think they are firinf him for having an affair with hus subordinate. It's because of the Chinese spy allegations. This is just an add on
The Chinese spy who he was having sex with and probably helping break export controls and smuggle Nvidia tech into China through singapore is probably a bigger deal than this one
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.
It is inappropriate to have relationships with subordinates.
