Hire or Fire?

[sirs]

Your boss is having an affair with your company's chief legal counsel. They both work in your office environment. The counsel has a tremendous amount of influence both over your boss and the CEO. Your coworkers also know about this affair so you all walk on eggshells.
 
You’re confident the CEO is unaware of the relationship. But, that's not the biggest problem. The worst part of this matter is that the CEO and your boss are married.

Do you feel this affair is in any way an appropriate relationship in your workplace?
Do you feel it presents any conflict of interest to the mission of the company?
Is there anything positive that can come out of the situation?
 
Is your boss or the chief legal counsel using good judgment in the workplace?
 
The CEO nor your boss are equity owners - just employees. You also know that 70% of the Board of Directors are Christian and would not approve of the inappropriate relationships; especially because the chief legal counsel is supposed to be dispensing unbiased advice and directives to the company.
 
Now, without trying to change any of the parameters, if the Board of Directors discovered these facts, what should they do?

[Xavier_Onassis]

They should immediately fire the lawyer, simply because that is a conflict of interest.

[sirs]

You're definitely on track.  We'd probably also want to fire the boss as well, but keep the CEO.  Wouldn't you agree?

[Xavier_Onassis]

I would have to work there to decide any further.

[sirs]

It's a hypothetical.....so yes, to answer the question is to hypothetically be working there.  So, you'd support firing the boss as well as the lawyer, where they both have significant influence on the CEO, but keep the CEO, because they had nothing to do with it, nor knowledge of the affair, right?

i feel like I am walking into a trap...lol
but I'll bite
I would figure out a way to "get rid of" the two married cheaters
of course I'd find some "other reason"
in fact several years ago we decided to NEVER give a reason when we rarely fire somebody
"due to the economy we have been forced to eliminate your position" lessens litigation potential
 

[sirs]

hehe...no trap.  This is how it actually plays out.

WE are on the board of directors. Our position on the board is called ‘voter.’ This happened in the Clinton White House.

Vince Foster, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton had this relationship according to well documented evidence.

When we're told by the Left that we're just dredging up the past and being infantile in looking at the ‘litigated’ record of Hillary and Bill Clinton, just remember this story.

The totality of the Clinton record, illegal activity and shady behavior is important for voters to investigate again. This may be an uncomfortable truth but it speaks to how and who Hillary Clinton would serve as president.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Hillary Clinton had an affair with Vince Foster?

No, that is just nonsense.

This whole stupid tale is utter nonsense.

The president is not the Boss of the citizens.

[Plane]

Hillary Clinton had an affair with Vince Foster?

....................

Probably not , Bill would kill him.

What is well documented is that Hillary depended on Vince Foster to organize her office and interact with other offices.

One theory of why he died is that the new job in the White house overwhelmed him and he was despairing of an ignominious ending to his career.

[Xavier_Onassis]

This is so unlike the situation that sirs seems to have reposted from some rightwing website that is is irrelevant to any logical discussion.

Not everyone can handle stress well, It seems that Foster was an example of this.

[sirs]

This scenario had nothing to do with feelings or even stress.  It's a scenario that we, the voters, are the board of directors, and as such, what's our obligation given a similar scneario.  It's pretty logical what SHOULD happen.....both the Boss and Lawyer, should be fired.  Simple as that

[Xavier_Onassis]

So go fire them.

The nonsensical scenario you portray is unrelated in any real way to Hillary and this election. Go vote for Trump, so Hillary will not win.

Send The Donald some coin. We cannot have such a patriot wasting a billion dollars on his own election.

[sirs]

That's my intention, come Nov.  And if enough of the board agree, the Clinton's will be fired

And what's with you and this concern for Trump's campaign coffers.  If you're that bothered by it, by all means, send him something.   The amount of free PR and "commercials" he has received from the press, and will continue to receive, is likely 10times any other candidate receives.  My limited donations have far higher priorities to address & support

[Xavier_Onassis]

Only one Clinton is running, and no Clintons currently hold any public office, so they cannot be fired, can they?
Your silly scenario is just dumb.

[sirs]

And that one Clinton running has her own piss poor record, that neither you nor your cool-aide drinking sychophants can spin away

Sorry to disappoint
