One staffer rose swiftly through the ranks, getting three promotions over two years, reaching a position that reports directly to the CEO. The person spoke openly to colleagues about having a close friendship with co-founder Lovett and talked about staying at his home to dog-sit. Earlier this year, the two informed the human resources department that they were dating.

The relationship began about a year after the employee’s last promotion, according to the spokesperson, who noted that Lovett is not a manager and is not involved in discussions about promotions. The employee declined to comment
