What if frogs had wings so their ass didn't scrape the ground when they hop?

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

The internet is going nuts because this is FAFO. Degenerates love seeing some good FAFO play out

Maybe I'm out of the loop with how tech companies operate, but 8 C-level people seems like about 4-5 too many. And they don't even have a CFO listed, so that would be at least 9.

Do not ever fuck around at work.  It can only end badly.

This.  I have a gal who works for me that is pretty hot and even though she's married, I'd bet I could hit it.  But no way I consider that.  I honestly don't really understand having an emotional affair outside of the marriage.  I get wanting to fuck, but if you want romance with someone else, get a divorce.  Your marriage is over.

dude the entire internet is meme'ing this guy into the ground.  This isn't going to be some divorce case. yes we'll forget and move on in the next week or so but its still etched into our memories for eternity. 

 

If i brought this up to you 10 years from now "remember that affair caught at the Coldplay concert"..youd likely remember it...this guy has to deal with it probably every day from here on out especially if hes outted at his company and has to try landing on his feet somewhere. You dont think his new work environment is going to always think of him as the slimy affair guy at the colplay concert?

 

 

Someone earlier posted this guy has ruined multiple other startups.  You think something as stupid as an affair is going to hinder his future more than having a shitty track record of on the job performance?  Meh, I guess you think Boards of Directors are going to all of a sudden gain some ethics?

Yeah, I look at all these poly people and I'm like, I don't want another wife or a side piece, I just want to be left alone.

Some of you don't really grasp what's actually happening here. 

Dude, they went out in public and were acting intimate.  Whether it was caught on camera, or one of his wife's friends saw them, or whatever, they took the risk and it blew up in their faces.  The more out in the open you are with an affair, the higher the likelihood of getting caught.  No one to blame but themselves.

You are out of the loop.  It's a club.  "Oh, you're c-suite?  We have a board opening on our non-profit, it would be a good stepping stone.  Let's talk."  Some fraction become CEOs and they they're on the for-profit boards and everybody makes bank accordingly and lather, rinse, repeat.  A significant majority of the c-suiters are worthless.

LOL this site is chock full of that premise and you haven't banned any of it.

 

Plus in this case, we aren't "wishing ill."  The folks did "ill."  You seem to think we are imparting consequences upon them.  That is false. Their spouses and employer will( should) do that.

They have raised $380M in funding as a niche software company. I wont pretend to know anything about the "apache airflow" ecosystem, but that seems like an absurd amount of money for a company with 300-400 people and their likely coding requirements. So they will find ways to spend it, and I can think of no more efficient way than to stuff your C-suite with worthless management.

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…

I don’t work in corporate America anymore, but your story is all too familiar with the small companies I worked for years ago. At one of them, it was pretty well known why the woman who became the CEO and eventually sat on the board shot to the top and  blew up her marriage along the way.

The lesson here? Nicole was unwilling to go the extra mile, and the Town Lake victims all probably look like the VP of sales at her old company.

Man.....that is a LOT of words for Nicole to be telling us that she really regrets not blowing the married VP of Sales herself.

There's funny and then there is going beyond and intentionally fucking up and putting peoples shit on blast. 

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. 

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. 

This is some Grade A Weird-Ass White Knighting.

How do you not understand that this is a justifiable case of FAFO?

First, he’s a rich CEO in an increasingly exploitative capitalist system. Everyone enjoys seeing the privileged elite fall on their faces.

Second, she’s an HR executive. She should know better than to date her boss. Everyone loves exposing a hypocrite.

Third, they’re cheating on at least one spouse. In full public view. That’s on them. Nobody forced him to grope his mistress in public.

Especially this part.  As a management exec, we HAVE to take sexual harassment training online EVERY year.  HR coordinates it.  She knows this is way out of bounds, and she wouldn't have thought twice about firing someone else in an inappropriate office romance.

The only thing you're missing is that tech companies aren't real companies.  They're low-hanging grifts.

Head out for the big Coldplay concert with your subordinate side piece, get caught on camera, become a national laughingstock and have your wife drop your name from her social media presence all within 18 hours.  That guy has straight shooter written all over him.

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.

 No matter whether you have the board in your back pocket, it shows extremely poor judgment to attended a Coldplay concert.  Warren Buffet probably gave a TED talk about firing any executives who you think might attend a Coldplay concert.

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. 

This ^

These are the same out of touch, overly compensated, good ole boys who are using GenAI as an excuse to RIF/offshore FTE, cut benefits, steal your data, heavy hand RTO to sweatshop offices, lobby reduced regulation for shit like asbestos, and beat the tech workforce into submission.  

This dude in particular was seemingly a professional snake oil salesman with a list of shattered startups trailing him and a few anecdotal comments saying he’s an ass to work for.  

He’s the poster child for rich egomaniacs who are completely out of touch with the world 99% live in and are currently riding the oligarchy wave of ‘fuck you, I’m rich and I’m right and I’m untouchable…do as I say or spend six months looking for a job’ enabled by our current Pay To Play government…see Bezos, Musk, Zuck during the inauguration.  Same reason diversity initiatives vanished.  

I just wish it’d been that smarmy fuck Jamie Dimon who’d been busted.
