Is having an affair a #MeToo movement thing? This is a horrible story, but he didnt force her to do things at work, did not take advantage of his position, did not harass her because she was of the opposite sex unless Im misunderstanding what #MeToo is about. He lied about his marriage, but it wasn't him who forced her out of her job, it was a 'violation of Google’s new policy which went from “discouraging” direct-reporting-line relationships to outright banning them'. She should have known about that policy too?

This just sounds like an affair gone horribly wrong between two people that worked at the same company. I feel bad for the kid.

When Google instituted a policy against relationships with direct-line managers and one of the reports, why does the woman have to be the one to move to new departments to resolve the issue?

It doesn't say she was forced to. What makes you assume she didn't choose to?

No one said the woman had to, it said one of them had to. But that still is not a #MeToo issue. She choose this relationship over her career and it did not work out.
