martin- | on: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
What absolutely ridiculous places are these? Do you also get fired for lying to a friend, or wasting your personal money?

Does it work the other way as well, so you're forced to divorce your spouse if you make a bad business decision?

I would argue places with high trust and high accountability.

I am realizing that this is very foreign to some people and cultures. Among those who value honor, reputation, and trust the world is different.

Irresponsible enough with that money, and you lose govt. clearance and can't pass background checks (even civilian ones).

I think the issue is normally more that these might expose you to blackmail or extortion.

But that's ironically a non issue now that's it's front page press...lol.

It's a bit like celebrities who release embarassing photos themselves, to bypass hackers leaking them. (To be clear, I don't think the photos should be out either way, your private matters should stay private, celebrity or not, and it's horrid to have it dragged out in public. But I do admire the ballsiness in just releasing it themselves. And in this post-modern era, perversely some people seem to benefit from the exposure)
