The 'Kiss Cam' incident at a Coldplay concert has led to the resignation of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, but Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot remains on leave, prompting questions about the disparity in their consequences.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned after a viral kiss cam video showed him and HR head Kristin Cabot cuddling at a Coldplay concert, sparking public backlash. While Cabot remains employed, legal experts say contractual obligations and internal investigations likely explain the delay in any action against her.

Tech executive Andy Byron was caught on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert embracing a woman reported to be his company's chief human resources officer. The woman in question, Kristin Cabot, has subsequently deleted her LinkedIn profile. Newsweek contacted Astronomer for comment via email on Friday outside regular working hours.
