OK I mean I get they're having an affair, but really companies need to stay out of that moralizing people's lives biz.

    Surprising neither of these executives criticized the other's spouse. It's ordinary for spouses to find better spouses before divorce.

Some rather flippant dismissal going on in the other comments here.

The reasons that this sort of things is frowned on by corporate governance are firstly the non-merit-based promotions that happen, and secondly the power imbalance. It's a reputational risk for the corp.

Especially with women in lower positions on the org chart and men in higher ones, there is a risk of coercion if intimate relationships are allowed.

It's great to live in a world where a convicted felon can become the President of the US, but upper management gets fired because they are having an affair. /s

Pretty sure there will be personal consequences for them, I don't think there is any value in punishing them professionally.
