Why? What does that have to do with whether he's doing his job adequately?

If he's indicted, on trial, in jail, obviously that would interfere with his job performance, but since the idiot woman is "declining to press charges," what's the big deal?

“Time Warner had to get rid of HBO boss Chris Albrecht last night for beating up his girlfriend early Sunday morning - because” he’s not a Muslim.

I agree. This is not an employment issue; it’s between him and the alleged victim. If she doesn’t want to put his ass behind bars, it’s not for HBO to act as Surrogate Judge. I’m guessing they don’t want the backlash from feminists, but their relationship with employees should be limited to whether they’re doing their job well.

A major portion
of any big exec's job
(in the modern world)

is being the "face"
the personification
of the company.

The other execs
can't have "the company" seen
as a Norman Bates!

...and the same logic was applied to President Clinton.

No harm there, either, right?
