Any such policy is illegal and wouldn't last in court. You can't contract away human rights.

You can't ban someone from having a relationship. But you certainly can require them to disclose such a conflict of interest to the board.

It is not a human right to have sex with whomever you wish free of restrictions.

It absolutely is for two consenting adults who aren't blood related.

It certainly isn't something for Ronald fucking McDonald to have an opinion about.

In the US, most employment is at-will, which means they can fire you for any reason they want except for a list of prohibited reasons.

"Having sex with a direct report" is not on that list of prohibited reasons.

If you can be fired for any reason, then that's it and they can put in the contract that you aren't allowed to drink a glass of water if so be.

But does that make it reasonable for hackers to think that drinking a glass of water is some kind of horrible offence, like some lunatics seem to think about workplace relationships? Which are one of the most common way that people meet and get married.

Having a relationship with someone you have authority over is considered very problematic just about everywhere, in part because the existence of that authority creates problems for consent (among other reasons).

> Even shift leaders at McDonalds need to sign various workplace policies, including policies about relations with their direct reports.

Does Nvidia have such a policy? Unless laws have changed, this isn't an issue as far as the law is concerned.

(Googling - seems they may actually have this policy...)

From what I've heard: Nvidia's operations is heavily reliant on Jensen. He's embedded in everything. Early in the pandemic, I interviewed with them. The recruiter said that pretty much every engineer at the company will, at some point, be in a meeting that includes Jensen. I spoke to a friend who worked there and he confirmed it.

(Probably no longer true as they've grown a lot since then).
