Taking over herself is not nepotism. It's similar enough, underqualified, got the job because she's family. I assumed it was temporary, knowing it's permanent tells me these owners are bush league.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 48 minutes ago, Fadingpain said: Right, like I said, it's a stupid comparison. It's disanalogous to anything going on with Brandon. Or maybe it's not. Maybe it has some similarities, and there is some irony here. Maybe it caused some problems as the company got bigger, and the Pegulas decided they didn't want the workplace drama and legal exposure in their companies going forward. Or maybe they'd have been OK with it if Brandon were a bachelor but not OK when he's married with kids. Their companies, their right to run 'em by their rules, as long as the rules are spelled out in the contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I agree that this thread must be the go-to for all education on the study of human relationships and the laws of workplace romance, I'm going to pass on reading the entire thing.

Until then I stand opposed, on principle. Brandon wasn't fired because of allegations of sexual misconduct. He was fired because he lied to one of his employers, Kim Pegula. Execs can survive all kinds of trouble -- as Brandon had proven over his years with the Marlins and the Bills -- but they're dead meat if their employers catch them lying to them. At Brandon's pay grade, that's an unforgivable personal betrayal. As for Brandon's financial ruin, I suggest he contact Tom Donahoe about how to deal with the reduced circumstances of a fired ex-top exec.

I feel really sorry for him if he exercised bad professional judgment. Having done the same thing...I can't criticize only tell him to not hide from this or deny it if it happened. Own it and move forward. Fantastic that you own your actions. What is the real shame is people rejoicing while his kids and wife have to look on. These are people’s lives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
