To the person who said this was the sort of thing that usually got someone a reprimand: not any more it isn't, especially if the power dynamic between the two was unequal, and in this case it certainly must have been (unless Intel had a female co-CEO nobody knew anything about). While I'm glad the relationship was consensual, it was kept secret for a reason: it was against the rules. The rules should apply equally to everyone, and so I'm glad Intel takes their rules seriously enough to take action when anyone -- including the CEO -- breaks them.
OK... If this unbendable, zero-tolerence rule applies to everyone, then why didn't they fire the girl?
