\u201cIt\u2019s horrible because she is the head of HR! She\u2019s involved in an extramarital affair with the CEO. Basically, how much worse of an HR faux pas could you commit?\u201d employment lawyer William Cafaro, co-counsel at Big Apple-based Buzin Law, told The Post Thursday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only way it could be worse is if the head of HR was having an affair with someone who worked for her. That\u2019s the only permutation I could think of that could be worse \u2014 but this is pretty high up there.\u201d<\/p>\n Byron and Cabot, who both have families of their own, were cozied up against the railing overlooking Gillette Stadium when the camera panned to them during the show.<\/p>\n What should have been a sweet moment spun out of control as Martin quipped, \u201cEither they\u2019re having an affair or they\u2019re just very shy.\u201d<\/p>\n Online sleuths quickly identified the duo overnight, and by morning, their faces were all over social media.<\/p>\n With Byron heading the company, any action against him, including possible removal if he violated company policies in his supposed relationship with Cabot, would be left up to the five other members on the board of directors.<\/p>\n Her fate, though, may already be sealed.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say she\u2019s just about certain to be removed from her position, because how can you have someone in HR who is having an affair with the CEO imposing or making disciplinary decisions over any other employees. That\u2019s ludicrous,\u201d Cafaro said.<\/p>\n Other parts are still uncertain and largely depend on Astronomer\u2019s codes of ethics and rules, including its fraternization policies, said Helen Rella, who does employment litigation for\u00a0Wilk Auslander.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I tell my own clients, your friends today could be your enemy tomorrow. You never know when an employment issue could arise where somebody might be subject for termination or for disciplinary action,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd when there\u2019s an instance where somebody in a supervisory position is involved with somebody underneath them, there could potentially be a claim that they were being targeted. Not that that\u2019s true, but that\u2019s one avenue of potential exposure for the company.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear if the Coldplay outing was organized by Astronomer, which could breed further complications falling under its lawfulness as an after-work activity under Massachusetts code, Rella added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Coldplay kiss cam moment that accidentally uncovered\u00a0a potential cheating scandal\u00a0between a married tech firm CEO and his head of human resources could be the beginning of… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"William](\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Coldplay-snafu-2.jpg?w=450\")
