Not the same situation at all. She was made to leave the World bank because he became its president.
How would you feel if your job was terminated because your employer hired your wife/girlfriend/significant other?
Do you feel you would be justified in getting compensation? That's what this is all about. |
I would be pissed, but it is standard business practice. One of them would have to leave. I have seen in happen. It sucks, but that is the law. I'm surprised she didn't offer to resign.
She would not have been hired in the first place at any company in the United States if in her interview she said she was the girlfriend of the president. Total HR Disaster waiting to happen.
Maybe she was using Wolfie to further her career? Certainly wouldn't be the first woman to try that approach.
I had a couple of friends get into trouble for dating at Charles Schwabb and they weren't even managers! They had to change departments so they did not work with each other. As Executive Level Management, Wolfie should have known better, or had better HR folks to advise him.
To say this has anything to do with anti-Semitism is a little dubious.
