There is no way you would fire a CEO you actually wanted in place because they had a consensual relationship with a subordinate in the past . Why are US companies always so aggressive about moralising these issues? No one would take issue if he carried a gun at work. Why is it that corporate morals rule?
Why are US companies always so aggressive about moralising these issues? No one would take issue if he carried a gun at work. Why is it that corporate morals rule? These are short questions that probably can't ever be fully answered and require books to be answered even semi-adequately. That said, a good answer probably has some element of the U.S.'s strange relationships with sexuality and Christianity, going back t…

Because it's cumbersome to write comments that don't assume anything but still convey something. single sentences suddenly become whole paragraphs and just for the tiny off-chance of him being homosexual.
Just use "they" or "she/he" instead of "she"... The typing isn't hard, the hard part is keeping yourself from making assumptions about who people like to date. There's much more than a "tiny off-chance" that people are queer, at least where I'm from (and probably at Intel HQ too).
I'm not discriminating anyone when I assume the majority view on things as long as I stop doing it to an individual who tells me they are part of an minority.

This doesn't only apply to the CEO. Middle-managers are people too.
Middle managers who want to find love at work can do it outside their departments - unlike the CEO who is everyone’s superior.
It's also worth noting that the Intel CEO joined the company in 1982, apparently straight out of college.

Given knowledge that the CEO is a male, assuming the relationship is with a female is simply based on statistics.
Why assume at all?

A relationship between a manager and someone they manage compromises the effectiveness of both the manager and the team. As CEO, he is everyone's boss, so having a consensual relationship with anyone involved in the organisation is a bad thing. If she got promoted, would it be because of her work, or her relationship with the boss? If she didn't get promoted, would it be because of her attitude, or her relationship w…

#217If a relationship is consensual what's the issue? If we're spending a significant part of our waking hours at work, it should be a baked in assumption that at some point, some coworkers are going to end up in a romantic relationship together. Hell, the majority of my significant romantic relationships started out as consensual workplace flirting.
It should only ever be an issue when that relationship causes trouble for the business.

Of course they were sitting on it. However, I don't understand why didn't they go the usual nice route - Brian, how can we quickly get rid of you when we need to? Is $10M enough to cover any inconveniences? Enjoy your retirement and see you at the golf course! Game of Thrones Season 80x86?
Probably more than 10mm if they don’t claw back equity and golden parachutes.

#219Intel is in serious trouble right now.They accidentally gaffed recently and stated that their goal was "to keep AMD from getting more then 10-20% of the server market" while they deal with a whole bunch of engineering and fab problems with their current generation of chips. They are also looking down the barrel of Apple abandoning Intel, and for the first time in two decades, unleashing a true X86 competitor to the m…
