Did you notice that the Daily Mail article only mentions Arrivabene, not the other (currently employed ) senior executive mentioned by Appleroth as having affairs with junior staff. And their disclaimer "Daily Mail Australia does not suggest that Mr Appleroth's claims are true, only that they were contained in the statement of claim filed with the court " .
Sadly, perception is seldom reality. Plus bonuses, an expense account and most likely a Ferrari as a fully maintained company car, more buyers than vehicles available, it would be a dream job.
Yeah fair enough. With bonus it would be $480k plus a fully maintained new Ferrari is certainly a stress free way to get around in style. The amount of insane events he would have attended in that role...
I was surprised. Very ordinary money for shure. Of course, you do get a company car and get to sha.....
LOL! Let's do the maths: I posted that at 7:15, and with the way you're totally obsessed with me, I would estimate it took you no longer than 2 minutes to notice it. You posted your reply at 10:39 (BTW, very sharp and witty - ouch, you got me again), which means you spent 3 hours and 22 minutes agonising over the Grand Comeback. Well done! I'm sure it was worth the effort!

Mr Appleroth, an heir to the Aeroplane Jelly fortune, was having a sexual relationship with a female subordinate at Ferrari. At the same time, Mr Appleroth was also in a relationship with Bahar Etminan, founder of women’s lifestyle site Rescu and a self-described business innovator and beauty insider. Both went to Queensland’s Bond University. When Ms Etminan learnt of Mr Appleroth’s affair — and that his co-worker was pregnant with his child — she contacted Ferrari staff to make sure they knew. This included his superior, Ferrari’s president, Far and Middle East, Dieter Knechtel, to raise concerns about the company’s culture. The affair with the co-worker, whose identity has been protected by the Federal Court, lasted just over a year. Some believe this was the start of Mr Appleroth’s unravelling. But it has contributed to the exposure of broader cultural issues within Ferrari. Three global Ferrari executives flew to Sydney last October to give the 47-year-old his marching orders, despite strong sales results. Image Unavailable, Please Login Rescu Founder and Editor, Bahar Etminan discovered her partner’s affair. Mr Appleroth alleges he was wrongfully sacked for a consensual sexual relationship with a junior colleague. But his legal claims — discontinued last month — sparked allegations from insiders about a high turnover of staff, widespread office romances globally, alleged bullying and inappropriate behaviour, and a tendency to abruptly fire senior executives without giving them an opportunity to respond to allegations against them. A senior Asian-based Ferrari executive was also sacked last year following sexual harassment complaints. Unlike Mr Appleroth, he left quietly. Mr Appleroth and Ms Etminan have since reconciled their relationship. Mr Appleroth became aware last September that his junior female co-worker had filed a worker’s compensation claim against Ferrari, according to his court documents. Her allegations included that Mr Appleroth had requested at work that she terminate the pregnancy and had verbally abused her. She also alleged that she was not given fair performance assessments and that Ferrari had been looking at ways to “get rid of” her. While Ferrari executives initially stood by Mr Appleroth — the relationship had ended almost two years earlier — in October they decided to pull the trigger. Some dealers were also understood to be unhappy because they believed their clients had unfairly missed out on exclusive Ferraris. However, Mr Appleroth has said the allocations were not his call. Mr Appleroth strenuously denies any wrongdoing. He was not informed of the nature, context or source of any allegation against him, other than his consensual relationship, according to his statement of claim. Image Unavailable, Please Login Ms Etminan and Mr Appleroth have reconciled. None was “investigated for veracity or accuracy”, he said. Mr Appleroth launched Federal Court proceedings last month after attempts to resolve his dispute at the Fair Work Commission failed. He alleged he was owed about $3m in remuneration, entitlements and penalties, but then discontinued the litigation two weeks later, citing concerns for the privacy of his family. He has a six-year-old daughter. Federal Court judge John Snaden agreed to release some of his court documents on Thursday, rejecting Mr Appleroth’s bid to keep the file confidential. His statement of claim alleged that Ferrari’s termination of his employment was “dishonest” and caused him to forfeit his interests in stock units that had been due to vest. He said his affair was “not inconsistent” with the CEO’s “expected behaviours” or the company’s code of conduct. Running Ferrari had been a lifelong dream for Mr Appleroth. As a kid, he plastered his bedroom walls with car posters and bought his first Ferrari at 26. He once said he worked seven days a week and slept 4½ hours a night. But when that ended, he was ready to lob a grenade at the luxury carmaker. It was a “notorious fact” at Ferrari that senior executives “routinely” engaged in sexual relations with more junior staff, he said in his claim. He accused the former head of the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One Team, Maurizio Arrivabene, and the company’s global head of sales, Luca Zanetti, of having consensual sexual relations with subordinates. By the end of the week, Ferrari had called in public relations expert Sue Cato. The company said it rejected “recent characterisations of its workplace culture”. “Ferrari is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace and community,” it said in a statement. It has been a car crash of a week the company will not be keen to repeat.
