Andy Byron has resigned from his big bucks CEO position of AI company Astronomer just days after he was caught canoodling with his head of HR on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert, setting off a wild internet frenzy.

“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the company said in a statement. “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.”

On Thursday, the company said Byron was placed on leave and an interim CEO was named.

Byron and Kristin Cabot sparked a near-unprecendented viral storm when they were seen desperately dodging the kiss cam while cuddling at the concert near Boston Wednesday night.

She can claim whatever she wants...she simply can’t be head of HR anymore. How is anyone in the company supposed to take her seriously?

AND...other employees can claim she benefitted from her relationship if she is allowed to keep her job.

What? You mean the heads of HR aren't routinely sleeping with the boss?

Who else would go near them except each other?

Maybe because she wasn’t married, and he was...?

In any case, for an HR officer to do this, her career should be ruined.

The Barbarella AI bots were jealous. Better watch out for these jealous lovers.

The company may well have a policy about intra company romances.
