MODERATORS
Seems like if they hadn't reacted to their images on the screen, this whole thing would have gone unnoticed.
I've seen this response a ton and I think that's exactly correct, but I can't imagine the anxiety in the hours, day and weeks after. Just waiting and wondering if anyone recognised you, if anyone had a recording/proof. Then after a few months under the radar I might not be a complete train wreck.
But then what if Coldplay puts out a Netflix special or something, then I'd have to wait and wait until it came out and then watch it and see if that moment makes it into the recording... And if it does? Now I'm just waiting for some random friend of a friend to watch it and go "hang on..."
I think I'd rather this timeline, if I was that idot.
Probably why I'd never cheat on my partner, especially at a huge public gathering, when the person I'm cheating with is an employee and I'm the fucking CEO and could lose my job over it.
Thankfully this man will certainly continue to fail up, and as soon as this news quiets down he'll get hired by some other goon just like him to some other lucrative job where you just have to be an asshole a few times a week and otherwise the money will roll right in.
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?
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.
Let's not say he has decency. His other option was probably to be fired.
Its so weird tha dude had to resign and get suspended just because he had an affair.
Dont get me wrong, dude is a scumbag (like most CEOs) for cheating on his wife and so is the lady who also cheated on their partner. Without question they did wrong and should face their personal consequences.
But why in the USA hell is this an issue on the work side - it shouldn't be Let whoever fuck with whoever non of the companies business.
It's not the cheating. It's the "porking your HR lady" part that's a problem for companies who dont want to get sued.
I haven't read to many articles on the matter but for all we know hr lady does not like him at all but wanted to keep/get that job and now she is stuck in an abusive relationship. Can't share with her partner cause yeah... And can't get HR to step in cause... Yeah.
No evidence that is the case but that's why we should fire CEOs who date their underlings. You are right we should absolutely not be firing people for not abiding a religious/social contract that has nothing to do with their job.
At no company is HR ever going to step in over something the CEO is doing because they don't have the authority. -It is hard to get an objective business take from a subordinate you're porking, though.
Because it's a conflict of interest to not disclose a relationship with a subordinate. This is a normal course of action, it's just been denormalized as of late.
He should run for President instead
He was technically her boss. And he gave her that job. Was it because she was sleeping with him? That will certainly cause people at the company to assume so. So whenevr the next person doesn't get a promo, they will sue because the company fostered an environment where you only get ahead by having sex with your superiors. Also, most companies have a written policy about fraternizing with subordinates. It usually states termination as a consequence of breaking the policy.

I think the main issue is that he was cheating with the head of HR
The main issue is hiding it. Hes not fucking batman or something. Divorce your wife and get with the hrady who gives a fuck, dont act like its some schoolyard secret.
Two coworkers on equal footing is one thing (though still discouraged), but when there's a power imbalance (ceo-hr, manager-associate) it becomes a pretty significant conflict of interest.
Some examples;
A Manager gives favor to their lover and promotes them over other employees that fit the position better or did more to earn it.
CEO signs off on a big bonus for their subordinate lover, who then shares it with them on a fancy cruise.
All this tells me is that he is rich enough to not care about a job and just take a sabbatical until the commotion has died down.
Its all just not wanting to deal with other humans.

This story is being promoted in the media to distract from trump being a child rapist
sure, but like there can be more than one thing happening.
Yea it’s just obv promoted. Like what even is that company
Exactly. He can rape little girls AND women.
Also he can do all that raping AND also beat his ex wife because she was the one who suggested the doctor that did his hair transplant which then became painful (according to the court case that got paid off).
Furthermore he can do all that raping and beating and paying off of victims AND also bankrupt many casinos!
That dude is a multi tasker if I ever did see one.
