I believe that personal and professional lives should be separate and that being unfaithful in marriage shouldn't be grounds for a resignation or termination CMV

I'm referring to the CIA scandal a few months back. I couldn't care less if the guy cheated on his wife as long as he was doing his job.

The guy wasn't just some random CIA worker. He was the *director* of the CIA. If someone found out that he was cheating on his wife, they could have blackmailed him into doing some pretty serious things. Even had it not been a secret, it still would have diminished the reputation of the CIA.

When you get a leadership position in an organization, your private actions reflect on the organization. Thus, it's perfectly fair for the organization to judge you on your private actions. If you don't want this, you just shouldn't seek a leadership position.
