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.
It’s shitty of them, especially him. But, at least he has the decency and shame left to step down after this.
Why “especially him?” And why is he the only one of them who needs to resign from their job? Why is it only the men who get heat for having affairs like this? You think she didn’t know he was married? Why this societal bias?
Maybe because of the power imbalance? Wasn’t he her superior?
What strange world do you live in? Usually women are treated much worse after such incidents.
And in such case, why is HIS marriage her responsibility?
There may have been an imbalance, but seems the nature of the relationship was pretty mutual, not coerced.
I think in this specific scenario, the guy has been flamed pretty hard
FYI, they were both married people with their respective marriages.

Holy sexist knee jerk reaction, Batman.
Yeah, pointing out the sexism of others is so sexist. Mainstay defense of sexists.
Let’s not say he has decency. His other option was probably to be fired.
It’s like nuance here is fucking dead and people only understand absolutes, jesus christ.
Let me put it this way: had he not resigned, he would be an even bigger piece of shit.
It’s such a shame. They should not kill themselves, like Epstein.
