by which I include favors for sex advancement, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, then it's no ones business unless in direct violation of Boeing's policies. Even then, iti is not the worlds business. If sexual harrasment, fire him up.
The dear shareholders are the justification for corporate america spends thier lives living and breathing the organization. Loving happens too, get over it. His wife,if any will clean his clock.

I'd normally agree with you on such matters it really isn't anyone's "bee's wax" as my niece likes to say. But my belief is what is good for the goose is good for the gander. The CEO (who is married and has 2 kids from what I understand) was forced to resigned its not an "if that is the case then he should lose his job"..he did lose his job. Btw, he is still getting his golden parachute and no penalities applied to his pension whatsoever.

Anyway, if they string out this guy to dry they should do the same to the woman. If its no one's business or not, whatever your ethical stand is on stuff like this, really is not the point. The point is where is the equality in this situation?

I'm not saying that I disagree, but traditionally, in that particular situation, the man in management keeps his job and the woman is out.

I agree with you. Both the CEo and his debutante knew he was married and for all we know, she is married too. They are both guilty of violating the morals clause of their employee agreement.

If you are a senior officer of a company, you have a duty to yourself, your family, your peers, your nation and your fellow human beings to live to a higher standard than others around you. You set an example for others to follow.

My personal thoughts are best echoed in the words of Uncle Ben to Peter Parker, "With great power comes great responsibilty." (Which is one of the ten best quotes from a comic book, which proves they are truly literature. Thank you Stan Lee!)

Personally, I think this was something for the CEO's wife to take him to task on, and not anybody else's business. I've never believed that a person's sexual escapades reflected on their ability to do a job... it certainly reflects on their ability to earn my complete trust and respect, but I don't think it means they can't get the job done.

Also, according to the article I read, http://money.cnn.com/2005/03/07/news/fortune500/boeing_ceo/ Boeing was doing this to prevent a scandal... but didn't they just CAUSE one? This could easily have been handled with a one-on-one meeting with the board where they told him, "It ends now, or else." And it could have been kept very quiet, especially given the issues that Boeing has been having in recent years, and the apparent good that Stonecipher's been doing.

I just don't think this decision made good business sense.

Similar to another "ironic truth" if you will..

Kill someone you are a murderer.

Kill a few you are a serial killer.

But Kill them all and you are a conqueror.

Kill a fetus, you're a doctor.
