The case of CEO Andy Byron being caught red-handed having an affair with his subordinate – HR director Kristin Cabot is causing a stir.

“He was a toxic boss. He deserved it,” a former employee at New York-based software company Astronomer told the New York Post when asked about his former boss and his feelings about the recent cheating scandal.

Also according to a source from this newspaper, a person who claimed to have worked under Byron revealed that the incident was being discussed by former employees, many of whom thought that this boss was “karma” after what he caused at work, forcing them to resign.

“The former employee’s chat groups burst into laughter and are now actively discussing the incident. Many people are not surprised and think that what happened to him was inevitable after his past behavior ,” the former employee shared with the media.

This person also added that at work, Andy Byron was known as a toxic CEO, obsessed with sales and even constantly threatening and firing employees.

Andy Byron was described by former employees as a toxic boss, and pressure from Byron caused many employees to quit.

Not stopping there, according to information from Page Six, Andy Byron was accused of causing a lot of internal dissatisfaction while working at cybersecurity technology company Cybereason, where he held the role of chief revenue officer, from 2017-2019.

A former employee shared that the company initially grew very well, but the constant pressure from leadership to grow caused things to gradually get out of control.

“We started off on the right foot and were very successful, but with the pressure to grow people and revenue, it wasn’t enough to just be a fast-growing company. We had to be the fastest-growing company,” the person said, describing the experience as “disappointing.”

A 2018 article in The Information claimed that Byron “would become angry with employees who disagreed with him, even threatening to fire them.”

Sources told The Information that Byron’s poor management skills were cited as the reason for the departure of many employees. To fill the void, he recruited a series of sales staff from his old company, Fuze.

In an interview at the time, Byron said he was hired by Cybereason to help the company enter its next phase of growth, which meant “difficult decisions” that could “disappoint some individuals.” However, he denied any wrongdoing.

Years later, Andy Byron, now CEO of New York-based software company Astronomer, is also unpopular with his employees. At the time he was caught flirting with HR director Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert, another Astronomer employee was also present.

This raised suspicions that company insiders may have known about the relationship between the two senior leaders in advance, raising concerns about a lack of transparency in the working environment.

Astronomer has yet to make an official statement. Byron has disabled comments on his LinkedIn page. Kristin Cabot has yet to make an official statement on the matter.
