At this rate, I’m thankful that I still have my gag reflex.The head of the International Monetary Fund will keep his job despite having an affair with a married subordinate, the agency’s executive board concluded.The IMF board issued a statement late Saturday saying that the actions of IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn were “regrettable and reflected a serious error of judgment.”However, the 24-member board of directors decided that Strauss-Kahn’s relationship with the former IMF employee was consensual and did not involve any type of sexual harassment, favoritism or any abuse of authority.[…]The incident involving Strauss-Kahn occurred 15 months after Paul Wolfowitz resigned as president of the World Bank amid controversy over a pay package for his girlfriend, a bank employee. The World Bank is a sister lending institution to the IMF.
