And the board of that company decided that the risks he presented to the company outweighed the benefits.

A multi-trillion dollar company... so the standards are lower?

That does seem to be the way of the world lately. Sure this person is awful but look at the shareholder value they have created!

I think the implication, rather, is that the bar for dismissal should be higher.

Those are effectively the same thing.

The guy changed the world, heaven forbid he sleeps with a few extra women. They were adult and age appropriate for him. The guy's getting more punishment than the Epstein class did.

It is not about the sex! It is about the corruption/lying to the board/misuse of company resources/risk of abuse of power/impact on other people's career progression.

He clearly is a high agency person, and has to be to have founded Nvidia. The board might have messed up here.

He's facing one of the largest divorces in history, you don't think that would be a little distracting?

And if you don't know why leaders can't have relationships with their employees, that ignorance is on you. You're trying to insult other people but it just makes you look bad.

A lot of marriages survive even after stuff like this. Especially in Asian cultures. The fact that his wife is White is the only thing that hurts him on his chances here.

She'd be stupid as hell to divorce him.

Or she'd be more than adequately rich, worth around $75bn, able to do whatever the hell she wants with the rest of her life, able to have impacts independent of him.

“Twice” is public information. The things that happened twice have high probability to occur more often.

Indeed! There’s a whole “another shoe to drop” vibe around this.

Can't legally, or are you just talking about social pressure/policing? Because everyone involved are adults, and knew what they were doing.

Besides that, it comes down to how well he's able to separate personal life and work, and whether he continues to add value for shareholders (which Nvidia has clearly been an absolute outlier at doing, during his tenure).

But it looks like they won't give him a chance anyway.

I guess I mean corporate rules with actual teeth.
