Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Gets $6.6 Million Severance Package After 'Friendship' With 29-Year-Old Employee: Best Buy today released the results of a probe into former CEO Brian Dunn’s
relationship with a 29-year-old female subordinate, and they are not too
flattering.
The audit committee’s report says
that Dunn, 51, “violated Company policy by engaging in an extremely
close personal relationship with a female employee that negatively
impacted the work environment.”
How close is “extremely close”? The former CEO and the younger
employee went to lunch and drinks on multiple occasions during both the
work week and on weekends. Dunn gave the female employee tickets to at
least seven concerts and sporting events. And employees often saw them
alone in Dunn’s office or company conference rooms.
“During one four-day and one five-day trip abroad during 2011, the
CEO contacted the female employee by cell phone at least 224 times,
including 33 phone calls, 149 text messages, and 42 picture or video
messages. In one instance, several photographs were discovered on the
CEO’s personal cell phone that contained messages expressing affection,
one of which included the female employee’s initials,” the report
states.
Let this be a warning to all CEOs - stay away from the help!
