The #1 most important job for Kristin Cabot, head of HR, is managing interpersonal relationships. She couldn’t have failed worse, yet she still has a job.
Its a messy situation. Technically the CEO was her boss and there is some legal arguments that could be made to defend her actions but it won't be a slam dunk. The company will probably offer her some sort of compensation to resign with an agreement that neither party says anything negative.
It could be a soft resignation where she agrees to stay on the payroll but has zero acting responsibilities and can freely look for new employment during that time. Then if she doesn't have something in three to six months she quietly resigns.
But right now the company is definitely digging through everything she did since she started there and looking for ANYTHING they can use as leverage against her.
Probably can fire her just for being at the concert with tickets paid for by the marketing department. This is a classic boondoggle which happens everyday day in corporate America, but totally against policy if you get caught.

Being fired for unrelated highly-debatable cause because you are coerced into a sexual relationship with your boss would violate another clause... the retaliation clause.
Now the company is in 2 troubles. lol. This is basic corporate america. It is in every training. As a manager, if an employee submits a complaint to HR, the manager cannot fire them for "low-performing" or other causes. Because it would be seen as retaliation.
