Don't think the pics are fake at least, he's worn that same polo before

[โ€“] t0fr@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guess things are about to get started in the court of public opinion

[โ€“] kbal@fedia.io 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I rule this easily-faked collection of whatsapp screenshots from an anonymous source admissible as evidence on the grounds that if you were going to fake it, you'd probably make them spicier than that.

[โ€“] omgitsaheadcrab@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm inclined to agree. Looks like there was at least something going on between them too. Not sure it's fireable but Geri should probably kick him to the kerb.

[โ€“] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If it's enough for Geri to kick him to the curb (and personally, I agree it is) then it's not a big assumption to say he crossed the line into a relationship of romantic interest with a subordinate - and that point essentially becomes a fireable offense. These tend to be very explicitly defined in company policies because of the conflict of interest it creates.

At least this would be true in a normal company but ayyee wacky race team - who knows!

[โ€“] DV8@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't necessarily agree that the screenshots shown here would warrant being fireable. Though I'm willing to change my opinion if he does this with all his subordinates or there's some additional information that shows him being more coercive. Or some extra explanation of how my perspective is wrong, which it could be.

A reprimand would be in order though. And ofcourse his wife is entitled to being extremely mad and dissapointed.

[โ€“] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

He cheated on his previous pregnant wife to get with Geri, si she probably knows what she signed up for.

[โ€“] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you seen the other screenshots though?

[โ€“] DV8@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I just have, so adjusting my opinion accordingly. This clearly is abuse of power and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace that goes beyond an inappropriate but not abusive attempt to have a romantic relationship with a coworker.

It's ridiculous RB thinks he can stay in his position.

Screenshot of whatsapp messages

Not clear if the leak is the real deal or some photoshop work...

[โ€“] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

And where is the โ€œhe should lose his jobโ€ evidence?

[โ€“] omgitsaheadcrab@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What are they meant to be sorted by?

[โ€“] The_one_and_only@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You have to align them with the stars, but take into account the position of Mars and Pluto at the time the screenshots were taken.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Photoshop? Isn't this the type of stuff an AI can spit out in 3 minutes?

[โ€“] DavidGA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Photoshop has an AI tool now, so at least we can still keep calling them โ€œphotoshopsโ€.

[โ€“] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[โ€“] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This stuff never goes away. Funny thing is that obviously RBR thinks it does.

[โ€“] Ptsf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately for potential victims this type of evidence is becoming less and less meaningful as generation becomes trivial.

[โ€“] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesnโ€™t matter because the Thai owners of Red Bull do not care about this whole controversy so as long as Horner stays on their good side heโ€™s good

[โ€“] fidodo@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think their complete lack of transparency is back firing. Do we even know what the accusations are?

[โ€“] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The point was that we shouldn't, because the public has a tendency to jump to conclusions and condemn people without even seeing the evidence

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Oof

Like for real, I have no idea who has the right position in the relevant actions themselves.

But it's obvious that outside of those allegations, there is a power struggle going on within this company.
