To be clear you are asking why the firing of the CEO of McDonalds is a news story?
Yup, and guess what? AMD is kicking their ass so hard right now. I absolutely do not believe its simply cause of a relationship, neither for Intel or McD's CEOs. He must have fucked up or a power struggle. Intel's CEO definitely got canned for losing to AMD, not for being in a relationship with a employee.
perfect xD
Good god no, even as an owner of said puss.
I don't think people should/would[?] say "that dick is always worth it" either xD
Truth.
You'd think he would be satisfied with fucking all his line level employees with low wages but noooooo. Had to go for that quarter pound her.
OMG Zekes I actually fell over laughing.
Power dynamics and how that can affect a person's ability to consent.
Underpay staff, treat them like shit, wage theft, fire them at a whim = Big bonus
Consensual dating = GTFO
Hmm...

The CEO is the corporate overlord. The fact that shareholders or the board can out him with a vote is basically a sort of checks and balances type of thing, since no single person can direct the CEO.
This seems like it'd be the reason unless more info comes out
Usually why these policies exist
it's the crux of the matter, even if said employee wasn't getting any preferred treatment whatsoever.
people are human and it's in a way wrong to penalize people for having relationships. but end of the day no way that doesn't come into play at whatever point
Just to clarify, it's more like canned for a combination of bad management decisions and being unlucky enough for the 10nm delay fiascos to happen under his watch (which was really only indirectly related to his leadership). It's like how presidential approval correlates to a lot of factors out of their control in that way.
I do generally agree that he was outed under a pretext by people unhappy with how things were going. The biggest benefit to his successor though is that a lot of the problems under Krzanich were only a few years away from solving themselves regardless of who was in charge.
Where I work, it doesn't matter if it's consensual, a person in a higher authority over another in a relationship is such an incredibly big no-no. It's such a big no-no everyone actually had to take an online learning course and acknowledge the rules.
It's a very standard thing in companies.

Plenty of businesses have policies against nepotism, and dating an employee of your company would very much qualify, specifically if said employee was receiving preferential treatment over others more deserving. It's hardly some uncommon thing and often taken very seriously.
If you could fire someone or impeded their career for breaking off a relationship, even if you don't, that's not totally ethical.
That's assuming she was receiving preferential treatment. But it's wild to even make that claim, imo anyway

Pussy so good it's worth losing your job. Bless up.
Understandable. Workers are supposed to be livestock to increase company profits.
It's already disgusting to give them rights, but dating them? Unacceptable. Might as well go into bed with an animal!
But yeah, there should be more to that story.
Hahahaha. Trust me, it's not.

Yeah, you can't have someone that high on the totem pole dating an employee, even if nothing is amiss the possibility of abuse is way too high.
I've never dated anyone I worked with that was underneath me, but a good 60-70% of my relationships have came through work. Even then it's never ended well for anyone lol

If he's embezzling money or the stock has cratered sure, but I think forcing someone out because he wants to have a relationship with another human being is a bridge too far.
This is exactly why as well as preferential treatment. Lots of companies have these policies
Everyone I've ever worked with has had this policy, from a company perspective it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Some even banned same level relationships but never really enforced it.
