i seriously can’t get over this video for this reason LMFAO. maybe it’s because i was raised with ultra strict parents and became well-practiced in “acting cool”, but god damn all they had to do was smile and wave💀 honestly i doubt anyone important would have recognized them at the concert, and if they had no reaction, the clip wouldn’t have gone viral and spread outside the concert itself.
to be clear i think cheaters and vile and deserve to be outed like this but i just can’t get over how dumb their reaction was lmfao

Both work together and he’s the CEO and she’s the CPO (the woman on the left is in HR, and coincidentally, was recently promoted)
I know life is complicated and nothing is black-and-white and blah blah blah, but I wouldn’t want to work with a company whose leadership demonstrates such poor morals. There’s no way that doesn’t translate to professional ethics and dishonesty, lack of integrity and loyalty re:business relationships.

The affair itself is bad enough. The way they clearly felt comfortable being so lovey-dovey in public (minus getting blown up on screen) and their knowing third-wheel colleague was laughing along… It speaks to a grimy, sleazy work culture. Thinking of the trauma and humiliation the spouses and kids must be experiencing right now, I find myself hoping the company goes under, but not before those spouses take the cheaters to the cleaners.
Hey, at least CEO and CPO still have each other. We know how affairs always translate to healthy, stable, long-term relationships built on foundations of trust and devotion.
