Boeing canned Stoneciepher for writing a few love letters to his
girlfriend. They claimed it might have been an 'embarrasement'. There
are far more embarrasing things going on over there than Harry's love
life. Things that can have a material effect on shareholder value. I
dumped my stock some time ago.

More like they thought it could put them in the middle of a
harassment suit. He violated the rules, bye. ...if that's the
whole story.

Back when I was at Boeing (when Stoneciepher was still there) they had
no rules prohibiting 'fraternization' between employees, unless it
became unwanted. If they did, they'd have to fire a significant portion
of their workforce. In fact it was a den of nepotism.

In fact, they did have a few cases where employees were paying far too
much attention to their co-workers consensual personal affairs.
Management informed them that their display of moral indignation could
produce the very 'hostile work environment' prohibited by policy.

In an interesting twist, one of the people expressing disapproval turned
out to be gay and pissed off that the subject of his affection was
dating women.

Boeing actually has a pretty enlightened policy regarding employee
behavior when its not driven by company politics.
