Can someone explain why this is a big deal? Yeah, they cheat but did they do something before that makes it especially heinous?
It’s not a big deal, just a fun story that blew up. Guy pops up on Jumbotron, looks horrified cause he knew he was cheating. Lead singer even comments on the fact that they’re having an affair. Turns out he was a CEO and that was his ~~secretary~~ head of HR (tail as old as time). Internet loves it.
Edit: the video if you haven’t seen it. Their reaction really was wild.

Edit 2: HR boss, not secretary.
It's not his secretary, she's his chief of human resources. It's essentially her entire job to prevent these kinds of relationships. there are likely legal ramifications and the company is gonna take a hit regardless.
But that's not the issue so much as the fact that the CEO then turns to social media to give the most vague apology ever and then starts attacking the general public because a "private moment became public without my consent". He literally brought his side piece to a public event with cameras broadcasting across the nation and blames everyone else that he got caught.
It's honestly pretty scandalous on it's own, but his reaction is what makes it so delicious.
Right, I got that wrong. Scandalous makes it sound like it’s more import than it is. Most people sharing these memes had no idea this company existed and are not even thinking about legal ramifications.
Their reaction in the video is priceless. Lead singer commenting is hilarious. All the other details is the cherry on top.
I mean do CEOs ever actually take responsibility? Between the golden parachutes and increased salaries no matter how the company is doing, no one should be surprised by this abominations behaviour.
It's a startup. He doesn't get a golden parachute
Bet you he's still pocketing enough money to effectively get one regardless. Just because it won't be millions upon millions of dollars doesn't magically make lesser pay gaps than fortune 500 execs acceptable.
I’m totally OOTL on this. Saw the video linked here and was trying to find the CEOs statement but what keeps coming up is the company is now saying that his response was “fake” 🙄🙄
I can’t find what the origin of the “fake” statement was though. This Mirror article(yeah; I know) just says it “emerged online”.
The infidelity is one thing but no need to insult her over her older age. /s
Damn, I’m just dumb.
No it wasn't. She's the CPO, Chief People Officer. Basically head of HR. Where did you get the idea she was a secretary?
What else would a woman be doing in the C-suite?
(Huge /s)
Some of those women secretaries have both MBAs and JDs and are running the business while the c suite farts around all day.
The person who takes the minutes of the meetings controls the direction of the organization.
I was typing from memory and got it wrong.
Hate when that happens. 😓
CEO cheats with his human resources chief and blames the general public for it. That HR chief has likely fired people for similar relationships within the company. Says the public is at fault for violating his privacy at a public event. Everyone is pissed for some reason or another.
Could have just cheated with anyone else and it would have been a personal matter, but the situation and his reaction have been pretty bad.
I just hate how her and her friends just laugh. Like it’s a big joke that she’s a ho, sleeping with a married man and destroying/humiliating his wife.
How are they just her friends? From reports they’re all employees of the same company. Both he and her are to blame, he made the decision to sleep with his employee knowing he was married, and she made the decision to sleep with her boss knowing she was married, they’re both shitty people.
She's married too
Thanks, wasn’t aware, comment edited
On the one hand its dumb that people only give a shit about the CEOs wife given the HR lady is married too.
On the other hand, maybe its for the best at least one of the spouses is getting to fly under the radar.
It's not a big deal, but it is funny how it happened. Never heard of any of these people or the company before, so I have nothing invested in this.
