Bill Gates was warned over inappropriate emails to female staffer

New York: Microsoft has confirmed the legitimacy of a Wall Street Journal report which has revealed that former Microsoft CEO and billionaire Bill Gates had been warned in 2008 over a series of inappropriate and flirtatious emails sent to a female staffer.

Gates left Microsoft completely in 2020 after his affair with a coworker 20 years ago was revealed. Following this, Bill and Melinda Gates announced their divorce in May. With regards to the 2008 incident, the company became aware of the emails and executives of the group told Gates that they were inappropriate and had to stop. However, no action was taken otherwise, even after Gates had admitted to the facts. The Wall Street Journal reported that he had also promised not to do it again.
