The cheating is not uncommon
Issue is modern life where everything is documented and recorded.

I wouldn't want my affair public knowledge


Hmmm. Tanya, you may be whitewashing this behavior a bit too much.

Looks like he was trying to pop her back. Nothing to see here, just being a nice guy to help his employee.


It was a Coldplay concert. Wouldn't be surprised if she's popped his.

Just saw an article. Turns out the internet has identified the brunette next to them in the video as the Sr. Director of People, whatever that means. Looks like Coldplay managed to nuke the HR team.

Decent chance they're all in a relationship together. I hate having a 3rd wheel when I'm out with my wife. I can't see how it would be any better in an affair.

A culture that is dying to judge other people and their actions. We like the drama.

Adultery should always be shamed. It is and always will be reprehensible behavior. Anyone who doesn't agree almost certainly has either engaged in it or has significant moral failings of their own.

There is a reason why it is one of the 10 Commandments.

something about throwing the first stone.... right?

Goodness. That company's leadership team is going to burn to the ground. Chief People lady has to be removed, and the CEO is about to go on a sabbatical and see if they can outwait the public.

I was thinking about the Covid shutdown yesterday, and how many workplace cheaters were affected? Just cheaters in general. I mean, no reason to be going out of the house for pretty much anything.

I think I may have stumbled upon on of the few good things to come out of the shutdown...marriages were sort of "forced" to find a way to work out.


When the lockdowns started, I told my wife that it was going to be interesting for the folks with multiple families in different cities. They had go choose one.

Cheating is wrong. Making it public knowledge when they have kids is worse.

i didn't want you to feel alone in this sentiment, so I found another upstanding citizen who agrees.

Hate to see it. These execs and VPs tout ethics standards and corporate policies to their peasants employees, while they violate it.

Ive seen much worse in the office, with ethics issues. Its no diff than gov leaders, rules for thee but not for me.

Nothing is more infuriating than "superiors" who think they are literally superior.

Very true! At least we can find the silver lining! But is he the first that was elected again knowing he was a cheater? If you will lie to the person you lay next to at night who won't you lie to?

Good points. Don't get me wrong, it is good that this was revealed and there will be negative consequences. I just think we also spend too much time making our own lives excessively public and in turn obsessing over the personal lives of others not in a good way.

We've definitely become a gotcha culture. With cancel culture people have become mean. Ruining people's lives has become sport. It's all part of the overall decline in the once greatest civilization of all time.

They're being condemned and made fun of but if it was two dudes it would probably be celebrated.

It's Friday morning.

Is our playboy CEO up? Which bed did he wake up on? Did he sleep with his wife or his mistress?

Questions questions.

Only because he is a CEO who has ruined other people's lives. This is his comeuppance. Karma.
I would have more compassion if he was an Everyday Eddie. This guy thought he was God and could do anything he wanted. The problem is Corporate America encourages such sociopaths and puts them in top jobs. If you are a good compassionate (but equally capable) human, you are left out in the cold. Being a psycho is a job requirement these days. Women are equally bad in this.



Ex-employee rips Astronomer CEO Andy Byron as 'toxic' boss claims staffers 'enjoying' Coldplay kiss cam drama: 'Everybody's laughing their ass off'
https://nypost.com/2025/07/17/business/ex-employee-of-tech-ceo-andy-byron-claims-he-was-a-toxic-boss-before-coldplay-drama/

Quote:
The camera-shy tech CEO caught in an awkward embrace with an employee at a Coldplay concert was allegedly a "toxic" boss and former employees were "laughing their ass off" at the news, a former colleague exclusively told The Post.


Quote:
The incident sparked chatter among his former colleagues with many claiming that Byron got his rightful comeuppance, according to a source who used to report directly to Byron.


Quote:
"The text groups and chains of former employees are like … everybody's laughing their ass off and enjoying the hell out of what happened and him getting exposed," the source said.

Quote:
In the workplace, Byron allegedly has a reputation as an aggressive, sales-obsessed executive who can be "toxic," the source added.

He will still blame someone else because that is what such people do, but the statement is fake. Turns out he was dumb but not that dumb.

Now all we need is a TexAgs poster to share a time they got cheating.
