I wish they would just leave these poor people alone.. whats that? They are rich? Oh then by all means burn them at the stake.

[-] Legisign@europe.pub 1 points 5 days ago

The most curious thing in the whole mess is the revelation that Americans actually think companies should react to this kind of thing. Like the employer would “naturally” and “obviously” have a right to invade employees’ personal life and privacy.

Do I need to know who that is? I tried looking up the name but all I can find is gossipy yelling about the two of them and Coldplay so apparently this seems to be some big deal but in general I don't think it should be the public's concern if someone has an affair (exceptions apply).

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

If you look up the company they have profiles of their leadership. I guess she's the "Chief People Officer" and also the only part of the leadership team that happens to be a woman.

Their reactions to being on the big screen, which instigated Chris Martin's live commentary, is what's causing this video to go viral.

The point being if they hadn't had this reaction to getting caught, Chris Martin wouldn't have commented, and the video probably never would've taken off or even been posted outside of someone's private story.

If someone is having an affair, and having an affair in a public place, and the affair is between the CEO and the lead person at the company who knows better than to instigate this type of relationship (the head of HR), then this is a hilarious way to get caught.

So a simple lolcow exacerbated by belonging to a group of people that (deservedly) has image problems. Alright then.

Why do we care about this?

Is anyone involved in this, someone i should know?

[-] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 102 points 1 week ago

The news of it happening doesn't land like the video of it happening does.

It's fucking brutal.

Oh man, so much worse. What an idiot, if they had just smiled and waved it never would’ve gone viral.

Edit: and also if they had never decided to have an affair they wouldn’t be in the situation in the first place.

Anyone got a mirror that doesn't require a fucking Instagram account?

Edit: YouTube short but at least it doesn't try to beg for a login: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/xL8gdhw4q5I

Can someone explain why this is a big deal? Yeah, they cheat but did they do something before that makes it especially heinous?

[-] Chaotic_Altruist@lemmy.zip 44 points 1 week ago

CEO cheats with his human resources chief and blames the general public for it. That HR chief has likely fired people for similar relationships within the company. Says the public is at fault for violating his privacy at a public event. Everyone is pissed for some reason or another.

Could have just cheated with anyone else and it would have been a personal matter, but the situation and his reaction have been pretty bad.

Oh fuck, not not the camera.... fuck fuck fuck

[-] johnny_deadeyes@slrpnk.net 37 points 1 week ago

I wish they would maybe capitalize the proper nouns in this post. On first readings, not knowing Astronomer is the name of a corporation, I thought they were just referring to a CEO that also happened to be an avid stargazer -"What a strange detail to include...".

[-] swiftywizard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 days ago

I had to look it up

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 35 points 1 week ago

There is only 1 CEO I have seen hit the ground faster than that, I don't think I am beeing too harsh.

Sucks that the company is named Astronomer. It's not even space based.

I wonder if they would have gotten away with it if they'd just played it cool.
