because even if it's consensual, there is a power balance and influence over a person's career progression. A happy relationship can always turn south later and get vindictive.

we all understand. But these relationships continue to happen frequently. Corporate rules are trumping biological and emotional attraction between adults who agree to encounter one another. Which party to such an affair is going to say, "Ok, we can boogie, but I'll have to quit my job here first"? The system is not working as intended is what I'm saying.

or any other rules will never trump biological and emotional attraction. Mankind has been trying to put a lid on various pairings that specific cultures have deemed "wrong" since the beginning of time. Right down to punishing by death. Hasn't worked...never will.

Back then it was common knowledge he was in a relationship with another employee. That's when he was a shift manager at Fab12. He eventually married that individual while rising through the ranks to become CEO.

It now makes even more sense that it was no coincidence when he dumped $20M worth of stock options last year. He had prior knowledge of the chip flaw (allegedly) and probably had an inkling of this pending investigation (allegedly)
