As a teacher, it would not be ok due to the power imbalance, even if it is consensual. Doesn't matter if they are legal age or not. Same as with Universities. Professors are not allowed to have a relationship with a student if they are their teachers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having never been a teacher myself. I must concede to you knowledge of the situation.
Same thing goes with your friends. If they had decided to refuse the instigation from their bosses, their boss could have fired them or ruined their career. Even if they say it is consensual, it never can be if there is a power imbalance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this instance Neil you aren't in their position so you can't speak to it being consensual or not.
There was a power imbalance but it never came into play even when the casual affair ended. In this case She was the boss and she didn't end it. The affair was ended by the guy. She wasn't pleased with that. She could have abused per position but she didn't. She kept her personal disappointment separate from the job. She never punished him for breaking it off.
She eventually got over it and that was the end of it.
I'd like to also add that he wasn't the best worker had she fired him she easily could have given good cause. A point I made to her but she wasn't the kind of person to do that kind of thing.
