Quite a few workplaces forbid relationships between managers and their subordinates. As CEO, that presumably puts everyone off-limits.

#5There 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?

Seems odd to apply it after the fact in this case, though. Perhaps there was an ulterior motive for removing him. Otherwise I would expect Intel to just hide the information in order to protect the financial interests of the company.

According to the CNBC article linked elsewhere in the thread:
> Krzanich violated a policy that said he could not have a relationship with either a direct or indirect report

At most companies it basically means that a manager should not have a romantic relationship with anyone in their chain of command. In the case of a CEO this would extend to the entire company.
I know it sounds punitive, but it’s really a question of fairness to every other employee working for that manager — nothing improper needs to be done by either party for it to negatively impact the other employees.
It also discourages managers from taking their pick of young staff members, and discourages any lower-level staff who might try to sleep their way to the top.
FWIW, most companies also have a reporting policy where you can report a relationship to HR and request a transfer to another department to avoid violating the policy. But that wouldn’t apply to a CEO — people in that position are simply expected to have better judgment than that.

Yeap.
Back in 2012 the Best Buy founder and the chairman both resigned over an inappropriate relationship the CEO had with a subordinate which went unreported:

There has to be more to this than is being revealed. Either something about the relationship or...they don't really want him in place anyway.
