The untold truth is that feelings were reportedly involved. Which obviously cannot be allowed to stand.

I guess they feel being capable of a romantic relationship is a sign of having compassion. Unacceptable.

It is possible they wanted to fire him anyway. My guess is that the code of conduct policy is only enforced when they want to oust someone at his level. He'll likely get a massive severance package on the way out. Looks like Nestlé has been struggling this year.

Nestlé (OTCPK:NSRGY) (OTCPK:NSRGF) shares dropped 6% after reporting disappointing half-year results. Revenue continues to decline, organic growth is driven solely from pricing, and margins remain pressured.

Wanna bet the romantic relationship was compromising in some way? Like banging the board’s chairman’s daughter?

Or someone inside the company? (I’m imagining something beyond simply dating someone. Maybe something with “favors”)
