The Coldplay viral video in Boston unintentionally lit the company’s fire, after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the head of HR, Kristin Cabot were captured at the “Kiss Cam” stadium. The clip, captured by the 28 -year -old Grace Springer concert, quickly spread through the social media, while the audience was amazed by the recognition of a high -ranking couple.
Springer, who described himself as “Coldplay Megafan”, said the US Sun that she had no idea that she would get such a traction. “I didn’t know they were famous, or it would throw it into the air as it was,” she said. “Play stupid games … win stupid prizes,” she added, acknowledging that the will that the video has released since then.
“I hope their partners can recover from it and get a second chance of happiness that they deserve with their future, still ahead of them,” Springer said, expressing a mixture of regret and determination.
Springer describes the clip as a “blessing in disguise”, noted that the impact that could have on Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan and Cabot’s former husband Kenneth Thornby. Cabot is reportedly recently divorced, while Byron was quickly identified in the video as a physically close Cabot – an interaction that took place in front of another astronomer staff sitting nearby.
Byron, Cabot and Astronomer did not give a public statement, and several Linkedin profiles have disappeared after a stir. But silence did not stop the wave of criticism. The incident triggered a wider discussion of the ethics and dynamics of power in the workplace, and many social media users have called what they perceive as a “toxic” corporate culture.
According to one former employee, outrage reflects deeper problems in society. “This is exactly who is Andy-Agresive, toxic and obsessed with sale,” the person said, adding that many former employees “revel” in what they consider a long-term exposure.
In a viral video, when the steam screen appeared on the steam, Byron looked visibly uncomfortable. “F ** King Hell, it’s me,” he murmured. Cabot reaction? Simple, stunned: “That’s embarrassing.”
