He's now at the "find out" phase of things lol
If they had just made out like everyone else does, nobody would have cared who they were. It wouldn't have gone viral. Wife still might have found out about it, but I don't think that would have changed much.
Yeah, it's textbook Trump (formerly Streisand) Effect.
I think the best joke I've seen about this so far has been
"Coldplay hasn't put out a single in years, but in one night they made 2"
4 actually
Just couldn't handle the shame of being caught attending a Coldplay gig
Sounds like both of them might be shitty people. Which is standard fair in this lovely world of ours. However one of them is a CEO - and that opens the door for some proper shadenfreude.
I HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT EPSTEIN ALTOGETHER! WHO EVEN IS HE!
I've never seen more synthetic engagement with a topic in years. It's insanity how this bullshit got so pressed on the public, did you see Reddit? They flooded this random drama on every single sub, if you didn't catch how obviously it was coordinated then you need to take a double espresso and bash your head against the wall a few times to wake up.
People can remember two things, and lots of people like drama. This is a short laugh at a CEO getting a very small amount of comeuppance. It's not going to make us forget how terrible Trump is or that the government is actively covering up for pedophiles.
We need small breaks of laughter to keep sane sometimes.
Why did this story distract you so easily
Who is this referencing?
That's James Hetfield of Metallica embracing Dave Mustaine formerly of Metallica and frontman for Megadeth
Is that them mocking it or is it an old pic?
Given their history, I am going to say the image is not real.
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.
…meanwhile. Elon Musk out here handing out vials of cum at parties. What a cool guy.
Maybe we need to reign in the upper class a bit.
Really important news guys
it's nice to have fun once in awhile
I get being embarrassed but resignation seems like an overreaction. Coldplay isn't that bad.
Hey other tech CEOs, when you take your mistress to a concert where there's a crowd camera, have a chat ahead of time about how to play it cool. Bet nobody would have noticed if they'd just smiled and been boring for a second until the operator moved on. That'll be $50,000 please.
Kristin Cabot, the firm's chief people officer.
That’s not a good look 😬
She's switching to Public Affairs.
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.
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 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.
