Bokeh effect.

Sometimes companies have policies that forbid relationship between colleagues or people within a certain hierarchy. In another cases the these relationships are allowed but they need to be disclosed to HR. Or maybe the person could plead she was not comfortable to reject his approaches due to the power dynamic that lies in the relation.

In any case, it is terrible for Red Bull that this story went out while developing. Someone conveniently leaked the investigation was happening and then leaked the evidence.

And anyway, it does not look good on him, and tarnishes his reputation. Being a married man and fucking around with a subordinate looks too weak. And I really feel sorry his family that ends up being exposed like that.

:lol:

I'm married and I have direct reports who are women. I cannot imagine what behaviour of mine could ever be interpreted, misconstrued, or even twisted into sexual harassment. It's not difficult, people. You have to be extra respectful with boundaries, and extra-professional when in position of power over someone (and no, I don't avoid getting into elevators when we're speaking/walking one-on-one). Which most of the time, really just amounts to truly respecting the people around you in general.

So, sorry, I cannot put myself in his shoes really. Just an unimaginable situation because it's outside my values and the way I lead my life.

We have a saying here that is "Don't eat the meat where you earn your bread", which I think is pretty adequate for this sort of scenario.

Don't dip your pen in the company's ink, in ENglish

IN French we say: don't go to the bakery with a baguette. Oh no wait, that's for not taking your wife when you go to the dance club

In Australia (and other places probably) we have the much more charming "Don't shit where you eat"

Also have any of these messages been proven to be real? Are we all still in the alleged category, otherwise our joking about it just lets whoever's trying to knock him off win.

Why are the images of the messages such shit quality? Surely if this was supposedly the evidence that "exposed the truth" then you would make sure that it was as clean and legible as possible.

However, if they were decent, that would mean people could analyse them and interrogate them in much greater detail. And if they have been fabricated, then that's what you don't want. So you make them look like shit.

Having read all of them (I had a busy Friday at work) they seem pretty realistic to me. A few industry names mentioned, just the right level of cringe to the flirting befitting a man in power who clearly hasn't got game, etc. The least convincing part are the photos, but overall I'm buying it at the moment..
