[Caveat: I’m reporting what I perceive as the social norms—I would not personally want low-character or poor-judgment people working for me.]
As I see it, the societal expectation I referenced as an example generally kicks in when the connection between the specific off-work conduct and the person’s job duties is particularly strong and there is a meaningful risk of harm to people other than the corporation. I don’t think there is the kind of direct connection as in my examples for the median technical AI role here.
I think society’s expectations about addressing off-duty conduct increase as you go up the corporate food chain—they would be different for a senior executive than for a non-supervisory engineer. So I think society would generally expect mid-size+ corporations to investigate and adjudicate substantial claims that their CEO committed a sexual assault after being hired and while off-duty, even absent any connection to corporate activity.
