Good idea about stats. Please share what you find.

1. The subordinate story broke yesterday. The stock dropped 12% (not 20) and recovered half.

2. But for the spy/export control subversion, do you think a CEO would be stepping down for banging a co-worker? LOL...

*that we know of

Obviously it depends from case to case and there are certain lines that shouldn’t be crossed but otherwise consenting adults should be free to make their own decisions.

* My age +/- 2 years

* Comparable emotional and intellectual development

* Same level of education

* Earns as much money as me +/- 10%

* Total net worth +/- 10% of mine

* Muscular, so we are of comparable strength

* Exact same cultural and ethnical background

* No chronic disease or disabilities, as I do not have any and that would be an unfair advantage

* Reads Hacker News pathologically frequently, so we both know when to short NVIDIA at about the same time

You could just as easily say she did sexual favors to get a leg-up over more qualified peers and get/maintain her position.

If anything, the fact he got fired seems to imply she has all the power in their relationship being outed. I haven't seen anyone calling for her head.

Parent is oblivious to this and has already made up their mind that these policies don't exist

> The fact the he did it, and that she got promoted seals his fate as a predator in my mind.

These policies are intentionally narrowed to workplace conflicts of interest. HR doesn't want to manage morality clauses or stuff outside the workplace.

Anyway, not sure if that's the case here but it's hard to rule out entirely.

> Even if it's consensual, what happens when she decides she wants to move on from the relationship?

Then they're no longer in a relationship and still have to follow HR/company policies.

>What about her peers that didn't receive promotions while she did?

Did they follow the company policy (e.g., hiring committee recusal) or not for the promotions?

>This is why these laws exist.

Did the company policies follow employment regulations when setting and enforcing their policy?

I see your opinion. In MY opinion, this wouldn't be an issue but for the spy scandal. Now, anything that comes up (complying or not complying with policy) triggers more urgency by shareholders and the board to make change. They don't care about HR due process.
