Yes, it is normally a big deal but Jensen is a founder CEO of the biggest company in the world. He would have most likely been given some grace for a single indiscretion. The bigger issue is that he has shown multiple poor judgement choices and the board has to weigh if he is a larger liability than he is an asset at this point.

He had an affair with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, who it appears smuggled potentially billions of dollars worth of Nvidia chips into China. And now he is alleged to have slept with an Nvidia executive who reports directly to him.

If he had slept with a waitress or his friend's wife, he would survive this. Instead, he chose to have exactly the type of indiscretions that get you fired.

At Japanese companies this happens monthly or weekly. Although J companies are more like a clan than a western corp.

The United States is not required to emulate every single cultural value of former Axis powers, I think.

At US companies or even at Nestlé (as it was quoted) or other, it continues to be the case.

At the time Mark Hurd was shown the door I think HP had 320,000 employees. Still got the boot.

Many thought that was a mistake at the time.
