“The most important thing is for us to make sure that everybody’s comfortable in being able to raise any issues they see and for us to be able to fully investigate it,” he added.
Bill Gates stepped down as the CEO of his own company back in 2000 but some recent reports claim that he had started an inappropriate sexual relationship with one of his female staff member while holding that position. It is to be noted that Gates started the relationship while he was still married to Melinda Gates.
These reports surfaced after Bill and his wife Melinda Gates decided to end their 27 years long marriage.
