Yeah you don't understand (no disrespect to you intended).  You cannot do behavior that the company disapproves of or puts the company in a bad (public) light.  Ted (Gateway) has always fostered a "family atmosphere" in his company and such a scandal is simply not tolerated...especially for someone who is married and quite high up in his company.

In some cultures, there's a difference between your private life and your business life, and core family values have very little to do with work. That's how it works here (sweden) at least. I find it very difficult to understand why anyone would get fired for someting like that..

But why can she start a law suit, she wasnt raped she entered into it willingly I am assuming.

If they were both equals within the corp, it wouldn't be an issue.  When one is a highier level within the corp, then the other can say he/she felt if she didn't, she wouldn't get an advancement or some other job security issue.  That's sexual harassment and there are laws (US Title VII and typically state have their own laws for corps under 15 people) governing it which civil courts will address.  

I don't know how the EU is handling it, but it's a very serious issue in the US.

So basically she screwed the guy hoping to get a better position in the company. When she didn't, she took him to court and called it sexual harrasment.

Neat. She really can't loose.

Ah Never mind then. Anyway I like the idea myself, and I'll try it out as soon as I get a female boss.

No, I'm not a sexist!
