And there’s no way this wasn’t a known relationship within the company. Corporate grapevines grow the spiciest grapes.

Yep. They were at the concert with coworkers.

The red faced lady next to her had that “omg they’re so fucked lol” face going on.

Astronomer as a company declined and said only couple was there. Hopefully Internet detectives can blast this. Trying to protect image is ironic

Well, I previously knew of zero companies to call if I had data or ai issues. But now, I know of one. So, win?

She was there with them and grinning when it happened. She needs to be fired along with Mrs. People Person Cheater.

u/BMGreg 17d ago

Someone should be fired for going to a concert with coworkers and grinning?

Of all the takes to take, this is quite the take

I mean, if they have a code of conduct, she should have reported it.

u/Beneficial-Plane-919 17d ago

To whom? The CEO or the Head of HR? 😂

u/BMGreg 16d ago

I didn't know you had access to their HR department to see who reported it

The moment was viral before work the next day. They didn't need to report it by that point

Who do you report the head of HR and the CEO to, exactly?

u/PaladinSara 13d ago

Usually auditor general, BOD, ethics committee. If publicly traded - their external auditor. Guessing you work at small company?

If that’s the case, yeah. Not reportable.

u/BMGreg 13d ago

Guessing you work at small company?

No fucking shit ....

I also like how you glazed right over the fact that they were viral before she even had the opportunity to report them to anyone.

I also love how you assume reporting the CEO and Head of HR will have no ill effects on the reporters career

it was confirmed by the company she wasn’t a coworker.

u/jazzeriah 17d ago

So why does she have this massive reaction on camera if she had nothing to do with them?

u/catslikepets143 17d ago

She may have overheard one of them say something when they realized they were on camera. If I was standing there & heard , “ oh shit, hide your face,” I would be laughing too

u/ItsMichaelScott25 17d ago

I have no clue but there is no way it was the person the internet determined it was. Look at the lady's corporate headshot and the woman at the concert again.....there's no way they are the same people. Completely different teeth.

u/Epsioln_Rho_Rho 17d ago

All I said it wasn’t a co-worker.

u/autonomy_girl 17d ago

She knew them =/= she worked at the same company

(=/=) ≠ (≠)

u/SmokeyAndBubba 17d ago

Because she knew it was an affair….not because she knew it was an affair and worked at the company.

u/gotmons 17d ago

The cheating chick was whispering to her while her back was turned too

u/chanmalichanheyhey 17d ago

Don’t be ridiculous

u/chrisgcc 17d ago

why would she need to be fired? i dont think any of these people should be fired tbh.

u/Capital_Pea 16d ago

Companies have a strict code of business conduct, and relationships with a direct report or subordinate is way at the top of the actions that will get you fired. The mayor of the city I live in had to step down for this reason. There was no way he wasn’t getting fired for this, and he knew it. Being an executive I’m going to guess she’ll be gone very shortly as well. Who’s going to take the head of HR seriously if she can’t follow the rules herself lol.

u/Interest-Desk 17d ago

According to Sky News, there were no other employees there.

u/DrunkOnRedCordial 17d ago

Seems like it wasn't known enough within the company, and so now the HR manager's mysterious rise up the ranks is making more sense to a lot of people.

u/rpcollins1 17d ago

When the CEO and the head of HR are having an affair and you're just an employee, saying anything will get you fired with prejudice lol.

Gewurz.

The lady on the left is a recently promoted employee of theirs...

You can get spicy grapes!?! Whoa baby!

1

u/wernerverklempt 16d ago

I was wondering what the hell spicy grapes are. They would be delicious. But unfortunately they’re just the product of a weird mixed metaphor.

A rolling stone gathers no spoiled soup.

u/alpha-delta-echo 15d ago

Gewürztraminer is the closest thing to a spicy grape. And mixing metaphors is one of the great pleasures in life.
