Dumb is right. Dude was literally on top of the world in charge of one of the world's most important companies and now he's disgraced because he couldn't keep it in his pants. Pretty sad, and stupid.
But that's also the most ridiculous reason for a CEO to be displaced. Not on performance, not on treatment of subordinate, no, it's what he did in his persona life that has no effect on the company.
Perhaps you missed it, but the second affair that was uncovered was that he was fucking the head of Nvidia's health divison. Who is most certainly his subordinate.
Oh I did miss that part, so the reaction makes more sense to me.
But his public persona IS part of his job. A CEO in today's world isn't paid just to run a company. They are also paid to SELL the company stock. He let his personal life become public which hurt the company enough too warrant his removal.
I think that I am more annoyed with humans in general being judgemental.
