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.

    Why “especially him?”

    Maybe because of the power imbalance? Wasn’t he her superior?

    Why is it only the men who get heat for having affairs like this?

    What strange world do you live in? Usually women are treated much worse after such incidents.

    You think she didn’t know he was married?

    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.
