CEO Bob is dating underling Alice who works alongside underling Ted. Should Alice and Ted have conflict, Alice can always play the Bob card.

The rule of thumb in the military (I don't know if it's the law) is not to date someone in your chain of command.

Bob and Alice can be connected in many different ways. They could be highschool friends, follow the same faith, be of the same ethnicity (different from Ted). Why single out a romantic relationship?

Professional employees will handle it professionally. If you don’t have that trust - maybe don’t hire them.

The military is so different in many ways that I don’t think it’s worth discussing here.
