It was the Chief of HR and the CEO. Anyone who has worked in a company with an HR department knows that a relationship with your superior is a big no no. You can’t be trusted to do your job properly in that position (either of them) when something like that happens

You can get it approved. If the Head of HR approves your relationship I think it should be okay. TF is he gonna do promote her? Oh no he wants his lover to have more of a role in his company

Bruh. She IS the head of HR. It’s an obvious conflict of interest and I’m sure they didn’t get it cleared with anyone else considering they’re both married

So the head of HR did allow it? idk about you but if my head of HR approved something for me I would assume Im not gonna get fired for it.

You’ve clearly never worked any kind of real job. No investor wants the company they’re buying into to be known for an egregious HR scandal and not the product. They’ll both be gone soon

The Head of HR isn’t in charge of hiring/firing the CEO. And you can’t “approve” your own affair and think you’ll just get away with it, I don’t see how this is so fucking difficult to understand

This is if we’re even entertaining the idea that they went through any kind of formal HR process to document this which I guarantee they didn’t

I understand the concept I'm not dumb. I'm just saying it was an HR approved relationship. The head of HR shouldn't have approved the relationship and should be fired. The CEO shouldn't since he wasn't breaking any rules at the company. if they fire him he should be entitled to BILLIONS of dollars

Its the head of HR what more do you need? that's the HR process. She is the final say. Who is he gonna go to for permission on HR matters? Its not his fault he assumed the head of HR was the head of HR

That’s not how it works. It’s not like you just ask someone in HR “hey can I date this person” and if they say yes you’re just good. There’s documentation you have to file to the company for record. A lot of companies strictly prohibit relationships between a superior and their direct reports. I would bet both my testicles they didn’t go one step of the formal process they would need to

some random HR worked isn't the head of HR. A lot of companies prohibit those relationship. Who is in charge of making sure it doesn't happen/giving exemptions, or whatever else. I'll give you a hint its the HR. And since the head of HR approved it… the answer is obviously there

You’re being so obtuse. It doesn’t matter if it’s the head of HR or a random rep. They can’t just sign off on it and everything’s all good. The entire point is that there needs to be documentation on file in the case something happens. She can’t just unilaterally sign off on anything and bypass the formal processes because she’s the CHRO and I’m sure that he knows that full well

When you’re at that high of a position what you do in your personal life reflects on the company

The same way a big part of the criticism of the government comes from the fucked up personal life of Trump but that’s at a larger scale.

no one is defending cheating big dawg. the spouses should divorce and get a LOT of money. Hell if they keep their jobs their spouses get MORE money. I'm defending people getting fired over things that happen in their personal life which I think is dumb. You shouldn't lose millions because investors are upset you should lose millions because your wife got it all in the divorce

If I was an exec at a company and the CEO got exposed doing immoral shit (everyone knows cheating is immoral) then he’s gotta go because it makes the company look bad. When you’re a CEO what you do reflects on your company as a whole.

disagree. its his personal life. CEO is a job. If he forced the person to be in a relationship with him over the threat of being fired then yes he deserves to be fired. But if its a consensual relationship which it looks like it was then its personal. I don’t believe people’s personal lives affects their business. I don’t think there are people that look at the company any differently and i’m willing to bet 90% don’t even know the company name.

“reflects on your company as a whole” is genuinely the biggest load of bullshit ever. and if it’s true this world is so much dumber than i could have ever imagined because that’s fucking stupid. Tesla isn’t a Nazi supporting group because their founder is a Nazi. If they dropped the Tesla HH then yeah I would say it’s a Nazi Supporting group but as it stands it’s just a normal company with a dumbass in charge of

X for example is a Nazi supporting platform because it literally supports nazis. Space X is not one, Boring isn’t either. It’s about the company’s action not some dumbass in charge. They should give the CEO a very very very very generous payout 25 years worth of his pay. and most of that should go to his wife

Idk where u been this last year but people are actively avoiding Teslas because of Elon’s bs. Being a Nazi is obviously worse than cheating but the concept remains the same. You just gotta grow tf up and realize that actions have consequences in the real world
