Kohl’s canned its newly hired chief executive after an investigation showed he had cut a “highly unusal” business deal with a woman who had been his romantic partner, according to a report.

Ashley Buchanan — hired to lead the department store chain just four months ago — directed Kohl’s to “engage in vendor transactions that involved undisclosed conflicts of interest,” the company said on Thursday.

Specifically, the conflicts involved Buchanan’s relationship with Chandra Holt, a former colleague at Walmart, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

His salary as CEO at Kohls was $20M.

He had a $20M a year job and was a dumbass. I hope he dies broke as hell.

I was just having a conversation with a business buddy about all the stupid shite we have seen CEO's do over the years.

This is right in the wheelhouse.

The crazy thing is that the "CEO Club" is very, very real. This guy will land another position in a year or so. Right about when his separation package ends. This guy will absolutely get 12 or 18 months of full salary as a parting gift. Something like this happening at a lower level would get you black balled but this guy and his buddies will just laugh about it.

Damn. After seeing her I was sort of hoping Kohls had a female CEO. The story would have been more interesting.
