The two are not unrelated. Judgement is judgement, and a person who shows poor judgement outside of business is at risk of showing poor judgement in business as well. As indeed he did: the dude was banging one of his subordinates, something he would've known full well is completely unacceptable in American business culture.

Warren Buffet has a non-puritanical relationship structure.

Who cares?

>> completely unacceptable

Except, it happens frequently and most of the time people ignore it. In practice, it is accepted most of the time.

Are you serious? Sleeping with a subordinate gets people fired all the time. It is absolutely not ignored.

+1. I know a couple who was working in a multi national. She was reporting to him. When they started dating she moved to a different department. Eventually they married, she left the multi national altogether and became a stay at home mom.

I know another case when a lady working in a multi national cheated on her husband with her boss. Soon enough her boss had to “tackle a few challenges “ … in a different country LOL. The bosscame back to the Borg a few years later.

They didn’t say every time, they said all the time - which is true. But as you said, it can work out if it’s disclosed and a person can move outside of the org chart of the other.

No, it doesn't happen all the time. It mostly doesn't happen, and people are aware. You see when it happens, you don't see when it doesn't happen.

Good for you. You don't define the workplace culture we operate in. Any employer out there would fire you in a heartbeat for sleeping with a subordinate.
