Notes:

I've just been deleting a lot of random secrets that are recycling ancient FS memes ("can't unsee these unrelated pictures, would hit random thing, I wish this scene had ended in 'hot non-con sex'") and one person that makes a different secret about a certain actor every week trying to be as wacky as possible.

He was fucking his employee while being head of HR.

DA - Unless the person he was fucking alleges that she felt coerced, or even just pressured by him, I do not see this as anything more than stupid, selfish, and unprofessional.

NAYRT - even if the relationship was totally consensual, and even if you think that the affair is private business that's not our concern, it's still a big professional error for him and a big problem for his company, not just a personal matter. and he has a public-facing role so it's hard to get around that without it becoming public.

people do need to have more of a sense of proportion though.

In situations like this, when you may feel like you could lose your job if you refuse, it can be hard for employees to not feel coerced in some way. That’s why these types of relationships with a power imbalance, especially if the person is your boss, are so frowned upon. Even forbidden in some cases. It can be difficult for the employee to know how they really feel when in these situations, because relationships like these are frequently inherently coercive and predatory. With some exceptions.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not impossible at all that she consented to the relationship completely without feeling coerced in any way, and I’m not trying to downplay her autonomy in making her own decisions. Just explaining why some people consider this aspect of the scandal alarming.

Even if in some cases it would be OK, if he was *head of HR* (and in a company that size, he was probably *all* of HR) it's never OK. Other employees need to feel safe coming to HR if they're feeling coerced or harassed by somebody else, and in that situation they couldn't.
