Clinton-Style Scandal Would Cost Most UK Bosses Job

LONDON (Reuters) - The chief executives of most big British companies would face the sack if they behaved as President Clinton has done in the Monica Lewinsky affair, according to a survey released Wednesday.

Recruitment agency Bartlett Merton asked a sample of personnel directors what would happen if the boss was found to be having an affair with a junior employee, as Clinton did with the White House intern.

Half said they would recommend immediate dismissal to their boards. And of those who would not do so, most said the chief executive would have to go if he were found to have been lying about the affair to his fellow directors.

''A Clintonesque chief executive, even if clearly successful in running a major company, would only have a chance of clinging to his job in one in five British companies,'' said Bartlett Merton chief executive Stephen Rowlinson.

He said 200 companies were approached for the survey, which also covered future employment intentions, but only 51 firms, with 250,000 employees between them, provided a full set of answers.
