What is company policy? Does it forbid relationships between co-workers or bosses and subordinates? If so, then it is an issue. Also, did he use his position to apply pressure to the woman to make her have sex? If so, yes, without a question he should be fired.
A CEO that is having sex with interns is a potential public relations nightmare for the company, as well as a potential lawsuit. Not to mention that if this is widely known in the company then it potentially erodes the CEO's credibility and ability to lead the company.
Two examples: Bill Clinton did not have to resign after the Lewinsky affair, but it damaged his image and commanded the focus of the country for months after it became public. And he will always be known for having sex with an intern. On the other hand Paul Wolfowitz, the chairman of the World Bank, was forced to resign after having sex with a co-worker.
On the whole, I would say the guy is a jerk and should resign. |

If you were playing and not working you would be fired no matter how much of ur work is done. |

If his activities are trading off with his job then yes. Otherwise no. Make sure you're being impartial and fair and that you're not just pissed that he's getting some. |

Yes, if was done on company time/property. If someone who worked at say 7-eleven was having sex in the back office they would be fired.
Why do we hold CEOs to different standards than the blue collar workers? |

unless the company has a strict "no inter office dating" policy then he probably won't have any actions taken against him. If it wasn't interfering with his performance then really there's nothing that can be done about it as far as his job is concerned |

Why are you assuming he used his status?
He probably did, however, maybe he is just a caring and simply highly sexual individual that people see as an opportunity for advancement.
Adultery is bad, however.
I see no clear cut reason he should lose his job, unless you have more facts or some complaints from those people involved. |

That's tough. If he's an outstanding leader and CEO of a company, I'd assume that he's really got enough leeway to be able to use company time a bit for "recreation" (not specifically sexual, but I'm sure CEO's get away with a bit of time misuse). I think although it's dispicable an action, I think unless it affects his leadership, he should probably remain in his position. It's going to have to do with what's best for the company though, I'll assume, so I don't know if it will ever come to light and drag the company's name through the mud or what? |

Stern warning, no, he is the CEO and if the trysts are mutual, then who cares. Him being married is private and has nothing to do with work. It is immoral, but that is his private life and he can screw it up at will. As long as his work doesn't suffer then who cares? |

I think the pervert should have it cut off . To bad someone couldn't video his stunts and play them for his wife... Yes he should be canned.
Cheaters are such low life losers |

it all depends on whether ethics or morals clauses are part of his contract. Generally, senior executives are salaried employees and not required to document every second of their time.
That said, what he did violates the trust of this executive and would imagine the board of directors might pull his contract in a no-confidence vote. Of course, if this executive is a huge performer with multi-year, double-digit expansion numbers, they may look the other way.
Keep in mind that Bill Clinton was called for a vote infront of the board of directors (impeached). However, because his numbers were good, balanacing the budget and the like, he was given a pass. |

Company time is for work and not to screw off! That applies to any employee and in that respect, most definitely. If you give him an inch he will take a mile.
Ask yourself, if it was a lower level employee and he was using company time for personal business, would you let him go? |

People have done worse. If he's leading the company successfully and the stock holders are pleased with him, then there's no reason to kick him out of the position. Some sort of reprimand or penalty is in order, but it's not really a firing offense.
If his wife knows about it and the trustees are aware of it, and none of them are making a case, then let it go. |

-doozer-

Yeah he needs to get the boot and shame on him for cheating on his wife. |

Ummm, in general, I would say no. When on business trips, there are usually down times. The man can do whatever he wants to do on his down time. Now if he skipped a meeting to go shack up with some girl, then yes, that needs to be looked into. Is there a "no inter-office dating" policy? If so, then that could be grounds for termination. Otherwise, his personal sexual lifestyle has nothing to do with his job. Even though its hard to respect a man like that! |

If interoffice dating is not allowed in the company then yes, he should be held as accountable as the regular office workers. |

in every situation, where dishonesty is concerned ,get rid of the rotten apple should be implimented....how beautiful the apple may show itself the influence of the disgust or rot will manifest into the good....situation as described will lead to wives or husbands of employees will not know how to accept spouses absence from the home and will /might cause unrest in homes and therefore the work place too would be affected. there are those who think that excellent workers should be given leeway....I don't think that a responsible company should encourage this ...for their own security....even a distant one |

sure , he clearly broke the law of any reputed company , he should be kicked out roughly |
|

Absolutely, he should be fired. Anyone whose moral integrity is severely lacking already is demonstrating a bad personal character. Those who lack integrity in any form should not be put in a position of leadership, where integrity is needed for the successful operation of the organization. |

yes - it's completely unethical. besides, anyone is a lower position would be fired immediately so why should exceptions be made for him? |
|
