I am from the UK and this wouldn’t fly here either.
You can’t be sleeping with your employees dude that’s a clear power imbalance dynamic and you would be fired here too for having a relationship with a subordinate.
It’s not like companies give a shit who you sleeping with but they have rules in place to prevent abuses of power and also to protect their own image.
Seems pretty naive that you can only see this from a very limited angle.
Educate yourself.

You can be forced to disclose relationships and sacked if you fail to do so. You cannot be sacked for having a relationship.
I don’t believe I said it was the law. I’m saying most companies have policies against it.
Read again. You cannot be sacked for having a relationship and companies are not allowed to forbid that. Admit you were wrong and move on.
Hey if you can show me some legal precedence then perhaps I’ll admit to being wrong but you only provided a non official article discussing this not some legal precedence of these rules in employment contracts being contested and overturned in a court of law.
Why are you being so rude?
It happens the more off topic or wrong a person gets.
crickets
No need to engage with someone who talks like that.
Your article clearly says they can have policies about it. The penalty for not following policies is often termination. So the article doesn't say what you are claiming it does.
Read. Again. Slowly. 🤦
I did, several times. And pointed out the flaws in your argument. Your response says you have no logic with which to counter.
Now try to understand what you are reading. Start with
Yeah, now apply basic logic to that. First it says likely, not 100%. Next, banning it only between a boss and a subordinate is not "Completly banning" it. There is nothing in that sentence that supports your opinion that they can't ban "any" personal relationships.
At this point I can only quote Walther White:
“Is this just a genetic thing with you? Is it congenital? Did your, did your mother drop you on your head when you were a baby?”
Note in your first paragraph of the quote, it only says likely. So even they admit that there is wiggle room. Nothing in the article specifically protected the right to have a relationship with a subordinate, and in fact says if disclosed they can move people so they are no long subordinate as a result of thier relationship. Which is clearly not saying that company policy can't involve consequences for having a relationship with a subordinate.
The CEO wasn't transparent about it to the board, so he can be fired for that.
He was married, so he would be breaking a law by having sex with anyone else in many jurisdictions, and the bad image/press that gives the company would be enough to fire him even if it wasn't illegal where he is.
The liability alone that she "could" claim she felt pressured into the relationship because he was the boss would likely give them cause to fire him based on his contract.
I am not aware of any instances where it is against the law to cheat on your wife.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adultery_laws "There are fifteen[6] countries in which stoning is authorized as lawful punishment" (for adultery)
Plenty more it is just illegal.
16 us states.
Punishment and enforcement vary. But it is certainly against the law in a lot of places. In others it will put you "at fault" in divorce proceedings. So maybe not illegal, but has legal consequences.
Thanks, I've learned something today.
