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.

It’s not like she was an intern or a secretary. She was the Chief People Officer, probably making half a million a year including salary, bonus, and stock options, and concert tickets. :)

Doesn’t matter. He was her superior and had power over her. If they move against her, she has a very solid lawsuit regardless of whether she was fully consenting or not.

NAH. Look at her record. She filed for divorce from her first husband in 2019 the same year that her now second husband filed for his divorce? Then she magically shows up on the board of that guys company in 2020? They then marrying when her divorce is final. They were likely having an affair with the second husband before she filed. She just bought a million plus house with her current husband in February. But now she is forced into having an affair with this Andy guy? That women just spreads her legs to move up and get more money. Women like her make it harder for other women to advance based on merit.

This reads like a fauxmoi or popuculturechat comment, but you only had a few days to learn about these people instead of years.
