why the woman who was involved in a personal relationship with Stonecipher remains with the company while he was asked to resign.

Typical gender double standard (I realize that this observation will permanently bar me from assuming the presidency of Harvard).

[leadpenny]

Thanks for the ping(s).

[Gunrunner2]

Investigation is over. . .and so is Harry. . . he must be so sad with tens of millions in pay these past 2-yrs.

[demkicker]

Color me curious about what the 48 year old woman looks like.

[BurbankKarl]

The tip off was Harry throwing perfect spirals threw the tire at the retreat in January

[Paleo Conservative]

Just trying to stay in the game.

[demkicker]

I sure hope his wife sails off into the sunset with lots of his millions and without him.

[connectthedots]

Being the subordinate, it is very likely she would sue if she is fired.

The Boeing Co. cut back on the number of its executives invited in January to the company's annual retreat near Palm Springs, Calif.

But one executive who did go to the leadership meeting at Rancho Mirage was Debra Peabody, 48, a vice president for the company's government relations office in Arlington, Va., outside Washington, D.C.

It was at that meeting -- where CEO Harry Stonecipher proudly signed his code of conduct form -- that Peabody and Stonecipher apparently hit it off, according to sources.

Whatever happened at Rancho Mirage, Stonecipher and Peabody were soon involved. The relationship brought down Stonecipher this week, and Boeing acknowledged yesterday it is still investigating the actions of the executive with whom he was involved.

She was identified as Peabody in published reports Tuesday night. Sources confirmed those reports, although Boeing continued yesterday to refuse to name her.

Sources told the P-I Monday that the female executive involved with Stonecipher is divorced. They also said that Stonecipher is separated from his wife and was at the time he began seeing the executive.

Scandals seem to harm Boeing in recent years.

From another thread:

'She needs to be fired'........

.....'maybe she'll be sent.....back.......to 'China'?

[iopscusa]

She needs to vacation on the east end of Cuba for a thorough debriefing.

All 'new' Boeing Aircraft to be called,......'P-Body'?

The reason for the double standard is because of feminism.
The feminist are all out in force to infiltrate, to deceive, to covertly and to scheme to bring down any powerful men in top positions.
It's the feminist way to eventually gain power in this world.
Feminism has nothing to do with womens rights, but, everything to do with " POWER " and PROMOTING A AGENDA " .
If the feminist were consistent with sexual harassment cases, then, how come the feminist were not on the side fighting for those womens who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment ???? HMMMMMMmmmmm ???
Like you said,,, it's a Hypocritical double standard the feminist live.
Have you heard what Hillary said ? she said that Women would make better leaders because men are more corrupt than women are, now if that was not a more of a SEXIST statement I ever heard of, I don't' know what is.
Yeah, I bet, Harry was all guilty in that case of sexual harassment, I bet she was a feminist plant, to bring down Harry Stonecipher. I bet that women knew what she was doing, to bring down a top man exec.

[Gunrunner2]

Yeah. . .and Harry was brought in to bring credibility back to the company, to bring back trust.

I am most interested in how Boeing will handle HER situation (VP in charge of governmental relations). Now that she has violated an internal Boeing policy of inappropriate behavior, what does that say to the government when Boeing has been working so hard these past years to get out from under that cloud?

I am interested to see what happens to her. . .cause you can bet she will no longer be leading governmental relations. (They will probably make up some do-nothing job for her, somewhere, and pay her the big bucks as well).
