And especially after Brandon. Reassign them and move on. It’s not like the city of Buffalo is flooded in executive talent. This isn’t NYC. The optics of having a guy boinking his female underling is worse. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean they have been married for 30 years and have three kids together? Yes, they're involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it like some sort of primal need to exert this artificial power? She wouldn't look at him twice if he was in the mail room or grounds crew Life ain’t that simple my friend. 3 hours ago, Mango said: I agree to an extent. Some things get wonky when one person roles into the other. But COO and General Council are both fairly high on the totem pole. The issue I think is the general council more so than a workplace violation. I worked somewhere where our SVP of Sales dated and married our general council. They were basically told “we can’t keep you both, it’s a conflict.” And we let the GC go. Assuming they were fairly forthcoming about it I’d give them time to work it out. This. You can’t have your GC - who is your chief risk manager for the entire organization - engage in such risky behavior. Your COO is a close second there in terms of who you’d need to be risk-appropriate. And perhaps if they had disclosed it promptly and properly it would’ve been dealt with differently (though one of them surely would’ve had to leave).

There is no indication of that so you shouldn't carelessly make remarks to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be curious to see how the turnover compares to other NFL teams. Or Kim was the stabilizing force... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behindenemylines Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Had to fire the senior executive and the junior executive he was bonking because they were ruining the business. As my attorney plainly put it..You just don’t diddle the help. They spent more time on extracurricular activities and it just put so much stress on everyone else. They were both in really easy jobs making a ton of cash too. Idiots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 6 hours ago, FireChans said: In Terry’s day, they used to just get married True. I guess times have changed. From Kim's wiki page: while interviewing for a waitressing gig, she met Terry Pegula who was dining at the restaurant. In 1991, Terry offered her a job at his natural gas company and they eventually entered a relationship; they married in 1993. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A former low-level ADA who lucked into being GC about of an NFL team about 10 years after graduation can't be shagging the boss when she's responsible for such things as, you know, sexual harassment issues at their place of employment. How stupid they both were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 An old manager told me years ago when I was enjoying the single life and was in a "casual relationship" with a coworker in a different department and also casually seeing another girl in the organization, "Don't sh*t where you eat." I was in my 20s. It was good advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
