That’s how it works.
I used to work for a guy who had a very high position at a company. All was good on Friday. On Monday, he was gone.
Rumor had it he was sleeping with a subordinate and some weekend office shenanigans were caught on a security camera. She was an active participant but remains employed.
If I had an affair, never did & never would, I would be very James bond about it. So this guy is humiliated for life, his family is shamed, the poor wife, and he used university email to conduct it. He is truly a fool.
And on a very shallow note: ridiculously unattractive. That mouth is tragic.
