A US tech company says its chief executive has quit after he was apparently caught on a big screen at a Coldplay concert embracing a female co-worker, in a clip that went viral.

The clip showed a man and a woman hugging on a jumbo screen at the arena in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before they abruptly ducked and hid from the camera.

The pair were identified in US media as Mr Byron, a married chief executive of Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the firm’s chief people officer.

    Your article clearly says they can have policies about it. The penalty for not following policies is often termination. So the article doesn’t say what you are claiming it does.

          Completely banning personal relationships at work would likely breach an employee’s right to a private life

            Yeah, now apply basic logic to that. First it says likely, not 100%. Next, banning it only between a boss and a subordinate is not “Completly banning” it. There is nothing in that sentence that supports your opinion that they can’t ban “any” personal relationships.

              At this point I can only quote Walther White:

              “Is this just a genetic thing with you? Is it congenital? Did your, did your mother drop you on your head when you were a baby?”
