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.
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.
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?
They were there with a group of coworkers, apparently this was some sort of open secret amongst some of the staff.
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
Duh, people can fuck whoever they want. As usual, there may be consequences.
What I dont want is to work for a liar that’s breaking contracts and fucking people over. Once you find out that’s happening, you need to realize that it’s probally not isolated behaviour.
If they are willing to do this to their wife, someone who can actually impact their life, they will probably not think twice about fucking you over, someone who cant impact them at all.
Let me put it more succinctly: if the king is willing to behead his wife, hes not going to be concerned about your head staying attached either.
If you think that any big company CEO would think twice about you i got bad news for you.
This wasn’t a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That’s still in “we are a family” territory, but its a bit out of scope.
Your point seems to be that “all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever.” I think that’s more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.
Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.
