Not head of HR. Head from HR.

Incredibly bad look for your HR officer. Only been there since November.

They took the whole ‘our team’ page down now.

It's still there for me.

Have there been other public exposures of non celebrity affairs like this? Interesting it’s gone viral and the accompanying widespread condemnation. Wonder if this will have any trickle effects at companies that have been letting affairs between colleagues slide by.

Now was it multiple other men or does the affair date back longer?

Seems this isn’t her first affair…

She’s wearing a wedding ring. Might not be the same guy

She got the man, what else does she need?

I'd bet anything they're going to find out they've been having an affair since before she was hired.

You think? Look at this press release from when she was hired. They are both a little too excited and personal with one another :

“At Astronomer, our people are the most valuable asset in helping our customers do more to gain a competitive advantage with their data,” said Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer. “Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory. She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.”

“I prefer to think of my role as people strategy versus traditional human resources, as the real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy,” said Cabot . “There are plenty of companies out there where a leadership team doesn’t recognize the value that a strong people leader and people team can bring to a company. It’s not just about benefits or catered lunches. There’s so much more to it, and I was energized in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here.”

That's just generic corporate slop.

The guy is libdo-brained but not dumb. He wouldn't hurt his girlfriend into a management role. He'd hire into an analyst role he could pay to do nothing.

Nah, he got the wandering eye (and wandering libido) and she went for the the Dirty (Lauren) Sanchez maneuver, making a scene at the (Coldplay!) concert to force him out of his marriage.

They should both be fired. A CEO having an affair with a middle manager is outrageous but when the affair is with the head of HR who is supposed to champion the rules it’s completely insane.

Not sure, but things usually hit differently when there are visuals. Most affairs are not this public.

Good point. However, I'd rather be ugly than stupid. Lol. He is stupid for destroyong his family for an uglier woman than his wife.

He doesn't care about his family and plenty of mid women would be happy with his money

52. Her other surname is Thornby.

Only 52?
People, don’t forget the sunscreen!

I think you need to look around when you're in public. She is clearly above average for age 52. She's clearly in shape and thin. 52 is post menopause, most American women are obese at that age.

Maybe in Texas

Why be CEO if you can't bang middle management?

I mean, just pay and benefits? C'mon.

Me Too was also about power imbalance and senior men preying on female workers under them in the office.

DP. Who knows if that’s what’s happening here. However she was recently promoted and I would be incensed if I were another woman up for that promotion.

This makes me sick.

Chris Kubasik got fired from Lockheed Martin in 2012 when he was President & COO (and slated to start as CEO) for having an affair with a subordinate (he was married).

Several years later, he was hired to be CEO of L3Harris, a defense company, 57K employees, now making 20M.

Wow, his wife Jane stayed with him. This was published in 2024:

The Kubasik First Impact Program, a pioneering initiative at the heart of student-athlete development, is deeply rooted in the inspiring journey of Jane and her husband Chris Kubasik. Both found their calling in accounting and shared their vows in the UMD Memorial Chapel, a testament to their deep connection to the university as alumni.

Wow, these guys can bring such risk and exposure to their companies, and the next company lines up to hire them and pay them millions.

^You really just don't get it.

It's never about the affair. If he gets any friction it's about not managing his sh!t properly. That's it. If you really think his C-suite buddies give a sh!t about me-too, etc., you are woefully naive.

Nobody cares about that sh!t. At all.
