A US tech company says its chief executive has quit after he was apparently caught on a big screen at a Coldplay concert embracing a female co-worker, in a clip that went viral.
The clip showed a man and a woman hugging on a jumbo screen at the arena in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before they abruptly ducked and hid from the camera.
The pair were identified in US media as Mr Byron, a married chief executive of Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the firm’s chief people officer.
Really? How would this have impacted you as an employee? And how do you know the other companies are different?
Stock goes down, they lay people off to make it go up. And they will be without a CEO for a while. The fill in person probably will be at a disadvantage in deal negotiations because the topic of conversation will be the affair, not whatever product they are offering. That will also hurt the companies future prospects and stock price.
Why?
This. Is. Not. How. It. Works.
Substantial costs savings.
This is one of the wildest assumptions I have seen for a while.
How?
CEO having an affair with head of HR… The flag for rampant violation of company policy from above, nepotism, mix of private and professional life… really cant get more red unless the head of HR is also his daughter.
A ceo that’s fucking his employees is probally fucking his employees.
It also makes working for the company a punch line on your resume.
“Ohh, you worked for Astronomy? Wasn’t that the company where the CEO got cuaght fucking around at a Coldplay concert?”
The above may be a good or bad ice breaker at future interviews, but its still something you may have to deal with.
So what? Let whoever fuck whoever you dont have to participate and just say no.
Dont ruin your own family bu cheatimg on them however
There’s an expression “fish rots from the head down”, meaning when the leadership of an organization is bad, the whole thing starts to stink. In this case, the CEO was having an affair with the head of HR, and was so unsubtle about it that he was caught like this at a public event. So, either the rest of the execs are completely unaware of what’s happening around them, which isn’t good. Or, they’re aware and did nothing about it, which is also bad.
Sure, this may be happening at plenty of other companies, but those CEOs have at least managed to avoid getting caught. Why work for the one company you know is troubled like this?
