Hard disagree. Cheating with a spy is something he probably couldn’t have known, so that’s still between him and his wife. Cheating with a subordinate got me though. I’m not saying you can’t fall in love with your employee and they can’t fall in love with their boss, but the hierarchy involved in there gives the whole thing some tough dynamics. Remember Louis CK? This was in his statement about his sexual misconduct:
But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.
And it’s true.
That’s part of the reason why so many companies (including nvidia) have rules against this kind of thing. You want to fuck your hot department boss? Fine, but move to another department first. Don’t shit where you eat. That’s why I think it’s much more dramatic for him to have started an affair with his employee than the whole spy story. The Chinese might have fooled him, but I can’t see how he’s to blame for that. But being the boss of a big ass company with rules that say you can’t fuck your employees should mean he shouldn’t have fucked his employees.
All true. Especially
