Christian Horner under Investigation

[PapayaFan481]

... But then again... there is no clear definition of what is over the line.

My employer has a very descriptive policy which outlines exactly what is and isn't acceptable and those comments would technically be found to breach it. Heck, it even prohibits "unwanted following" on social media!!!

[Sieper]

My employer has none of that but it goes without saying. With all of these things it is so simple. Always ask yourself, how would I like to have been on the receiving end of that? if you don’t want it to be done to you don’t do it to another. Is that something for young people. That is a very old saying.

Nothing of this bears anything to this Horner case of which are rightfully not in the loop. We will hear the decision once it has been taken.

Speaking to the Red Bull-owned channel Servus TV yesterday, Marko said the process is taking time to complete because the company is determined to ensure it is fair.

“It’s an internal investigation,” he said. “The sooner a result the better because, of course, rumours and other stories sprout due to this long duration.

“I think Red Bull reacted very well in this matter. There is nothing we can do about the long duration of this investigation. They are trying to conduct a fair investigation and then react accordingly.”

Ford is reported to have sent a private letter to Red Bull urging them to be “transparent” - and “rapid” with their probe into the controversy surrounding Christian Horner.

I’m surprised he’s still attending work, but maybe he’d have to suspend himself… If Red Bull are concerned over their lack of control of RBR, as is being suggested, maybe this highlights that fact.

If it was illegal or then surely his lawyers would have advised him as such. I do know that in my company if a complaint is filed then both are put on non active duty until the matter is resolved. One of my friends is in exactly that position

Yep. Same with my employer. A colleague was suspended for the best part of a year because a complaint was made, but then the complainant refused to engage with the investigation. Ironically during this time he admitted to having done what he was accused of, but it still took ages to reach a conclusion!!

Is your friend the CEO?

Whether an employee gets suspended (or 'put on leave') is a decision based on the totality of the circumstances. Companies are unlikely to put their VIPs on leave without a very good reason.

He’s not but not sure what jurisdiction you’re in but corporate policies in the UK absolutely apply to all. And if found non adherence any lawyer worth their salt will seek huge payouts. Reputational damage that any large FTSE company would rather avoid!
