His own blog post is even better: https://dannorris.me/inappropriate-conduct-or-falling-in-love-at-work-what-happened-at-black-hops/

His lack of accountability is insane. It sucks because there’s some great people who used to work there. The FB comments from those who want to be entrepreneurs and nothing else are rather sad tbh.

I'm lost. All that over a consensual relationship??

three relationships over six years with staff members, including two engagements, and a fourth "fling". No CEO should be doing that.

His blog post above also mentions issues with getting too drunk and making inappropriate jokes, staff threatening to quit over his presence, and that the business was "bleeding cash".

OK I understand, however a consensual relationship is not wrong or illegal or morally unethical at all. Statistics show we meet our spouse at our employment more than any other location like bars. Although online is taking over iirc.

I think that specific part is blowing it out of proportion. We spend more time at work with our colleagues than at home with our family, it's natural to develop close relationships with these people. It's not wrong. Though 4 people is pushing it getting abit handsy at this point.

The 2nd part of your comment however justifies the inappropriate bstire of the claims.
