My wife and I were chuckling about this.  And goddamn, the hubris.

We said imagine if one of us was having an affair.  Then, we take our affair partner out to dinner at a big public restaurant in downtown Austin.  Or we go to a UT football game together.  And we're not just together, we've got our arms wrapped around each other.  Dude.  We are GOING to be seen by someone we know.  It's inevitable, we're playing with fire.

Going to a concert with 10s of thousands of people there.  SOMEBODY was going to spot y'all all over each other.  This was a whole lotta "we're big shit, so consequences don't happen to us" going on.

You're missing a big part. 

You're a techbro CEO, you go to a Texas game with your CEHR. For fun, she brings her VP of HR. You kindly invite BurntEyes cause the VP of HR is pretty damn hot, you're a nice guy and know BE is thirsty. You leave Mrs Brisketexan at home, cause she's no fun to tailgate with and graduated from aggie. 

Camera catches BE picking his nose at the game, VP HR clearly avoiding him and then you fondling your CEHR. A terrible time is had by everyone.

Going to a cold play concert shouldn't equal everyone you've ever known putting your shit on blast and being amplified beyond the funny part of it. 

And for over 60K other people, it didn't.  So it's almost like going to the concert was not the issue here.

This is honestly going to make it so much worse for him. Rich CEO having a midlife crisis and birddogging the 26 year old assistant is something you can work through in marriage counseling. Taking the HR lady who is the same age as your wife to see Coldplay will cut so much deeper.  It’s simply “I like her a lot more than you” and that can’t be bounced back from. 

That's why I said they (well he, she was apparently divorced already) need to go the route of "I was not happy in my marriage, and I'm going to do the right thing and divorce my wife and be with Kristin" route.  That takes it out of the midlife crisis realm and into the middle-aged people unhappy in relationships realm.

You could post this to any number of threads on this website and it would ring true. Not sure why this incident is a bridge too far for you.

Of all the people we pile on as a society, these 2 yahoos are among the last I'd feel sorry for.  Not only do you not honor your marriage, but you take it on public display for the world to see.  They got the payoff they sought.

You get made fun of for being that reckless/ deliberate.  It happens.  add in the pontification/ selling points in their public profiles, and IMHO, fire away.

If I was having an affair, I'd be paranoid about taking her to a small restaurant in Dripping Springs, let alone a fucking music concert with tens of thousands of people.

There is, broadly speaking, a massively growing lack of accountability, not just in this case, but in politics, social media, and just about everywhere. 

I've made mistakes, a lot of them. I own them. They are mine. Some of them were "public". I took that too. 

A lot of people are tired, in broad strokes, of others taking no accountability. Moreso, when those people are the very epitome of white wealth and privilege. When two such examples of people do so, in conflict with social and corporate morals/norms/standards/expectations people are absolutely going to react.

Also, the fact that other employees were there makes me think they were an item at work.

If your CEO is going to openly have an affair around other employees with the head of HR, yeah, fuck him, he's an arrogant dumbass.

Technically, a Waffle House at 2 in the morning is not "public", and when things spilled over into the parking lot, it was still not technically "public".  It's when things spilled over onto a city-owned sidewalk that they became "public".

It blew up BECAUSE they are both executives and public figures at a pre-IPO company. It isn't hard to validate that they aren't married to eachother, considering they're both on their public "about us" page lol

This is where I'm at on the scandale du jour. It's not just the guy having an affair, or even having an affair with some employee. She's the head of HR, and I'm always wary of those fuckers. Sure, HR is always in bed with leadership, but she's literally in bed with leadership.

Fuck going to work for that company with that CEO and that HR lady.

So this is a CSB but I once worked for a software company that was later bought out. This one girl got the choicest territories for sales.
 

At the Christmas party, she was blowing the married VP of Sales in his car. He wrecked it in the parking garage. Lots of people witnessed this. I missed all the fireworks having left about 20 mins earlier.

 

The next fucking day everyone was gossiping about what had happened, eventually they called a meeting with just us sales folk and told us to refrain from gossiping about it. someone not so jokingly said because neither the VP or his blow job giver were in the meeting: hey I been wondering why I get shit territories to call on and that woman gets the best hours and the best territories. Dead silence and a lot of glares from management in the room. 
 

A few days later our company merged and many people in our department were let go including the guy that spoke up and the rest of us who were given the weakest territories in the company to call on.

 

But not the blowjobber though or the VP. And btw most of the people who knew about their affair and looked the other way kept their jobs, funny how that works. She and her buddies got the best territories and reaped all the benefits. I was new to the company, didn’t know shit about their affair, my dad had just died, good times and I got $5000 severance though. 
 

cool story Nicole. 
 

so yeah, my sympathy and empathy is not with the Dumbotran couple. Cuz I wonder how many people got literally screwed over at work while they been doing their affair thing. 
 

Off soapbox…

What happened here isn't just the funny incident it's the everything after that has gone way further than that. It's not cool here and it would get you a ban stop acting like it would be cool here. 

What exactly has happened after the incident? They were outed in public. Married and public figures for a company. No doxxing happened, their information is public. All that has happened is stories that this happened and memes being created. They made their own bed, deal with the consequences.

Wasn't/isn't she recently divorced?  He's telling her the obvious:  I feel the same way, I'm not happy either, etc and she can relate.  Maybe it's true.  Maybe he feels a connection and his marriage is in it's last stages.  But fuck man, you are still a CEO, she is still a direct report, and you are STILL fucking married.  

Take care of your shit.  Be a fucking man, be open and honest, tell your wife it's time to move on, and THEN maybe you can play the field once the paperwork is completed.  You're a public figure.  Nobody would give two shits if they put a Joe-blow on blast at a concert and over the years, we know that they have.  

Astronomer is seems isn't public, but one of their main backers, Bain Capital sure isn't too happy right now.  As a CEO you have a certain number of responsibilities that extend past just your house and personal life.

Great example. It's this kind of shit that makes me think to myself, "Fuck'em." If either one of them is having an affair with someone outside of the workplace and it doesn't affect their judgment at work, I don't give a shit. But again, this is the CEO and the head of HR. As an employee or some B2B vendor/customer of that company, I'm exploring options for exiting that relationship if either of them sticks around.

Am I missing something about Coldplay’s role here? Wasn’t it just a fan cam like any sporting event or large concert? Looks like some random lady posted it and they were recognized. No different than if the wife’s friend was at the concert and snapped a photo to let her know her spouse was cheating. It made the internet and is objectively funny. The infidelity is what could potentially “ruin his life” not the fact that it got meme’d. None of us will be there during the divorce settlement or court proceedings. Maybe the business’ board of directors act differently because of the internet attention but they should be way more concerned that it’s the CEO and a subordinate regardless of how they were caught. Someone mentioned it above, they may actually praise him for what happened because way more people now know the business. I’m not going to assume that a bunch of tech bro board members give a shit about infidelity. It’s completely random what goes viral and what doesn’t. Pretty easy to have avoided this one by not fucking around on your spouse so no sympathy is gonna come from me because that’s really fucked up.

Yeah, Coldplay didn't do shit except Chris Martin having a perfectly normal human reaction of "what the fuck was that?" when two people self-immolated on camera. Then some pretty light social media piling on once the story had already blown up.

I didn’t realize he had commented on it in real time. Sorta fucked up I guess but I’m not seeing a problem it was a random fan cam still. Maybe don’t flaunt your infidelity in public?

Has this been confirmed?  The people around them were employees, or is that just an assumption?  I would think the CEO banging head of HR would be the more scandalous angle they wanted to keep secret.

Nah dude... stop cheating and just parading around with your sidepiece thinking there will never be consequences... and then blame OTHERS for the consequences of your actions.
