    This is Nestlé The company that will con poor, uneducated mothers into believing that their baby formula is better than mother’s milk. They are not known for taking moral stances.

    Odds are this is worse than a consensual affair.

      Given that an investigation discovered it… Yeah probably. But we’ll probably never know.

      Yeah, unless it was homosexual. They are covering something up.

        He probably had some stock options vesting they thrye wanted to get ahead of. Nothing complicated, just standard greed at all costs.

        What exactly is the problem if it was a gay relationship?

          For most people it’s not an issue and I doubt that was the case here, but I guess he is thinking the board is a bunch of conservative or right wingers who don’t want to work with a gay person.

          But I’m guessing it was more of a rapey thing to get fired.

          The issue is growing. It seems. I don’t think it should be seen as a problem personally.

      Not firing him opens them up to a lawsuit from the subordinate and others. Money means action, so it could simply be that.

      The older I get, the more I realize the “wisdom of the crowd” is dictated by useful idiots who don’t want to admit or acknowledge that they’ve been conned.

        More likely they wanted the CEO gone and this gave them an excuse.

        Nah they don’t give a shit about publicity, or they’d do more to hide their culpability with so many deplorable things they do.

    Preposterous! Great the company has morals and won’t accept this. Killing people including babies is fine though, as is child labor, multiple major scams, environmental pollution, supporting the enemy in wars, etc. Nothing wrong with that.
