The Andy Byron Coldplay incident

My take on the Andy Byron Coldplay incident:

We see that Andy Byron got a lot more heat than Kristin Cabot for what happened at Coldplay.

Do you know why?

Because he is at more fault.

First off - why do I say he got more heat? Because he is the one that the social media people cannot stop talking about. His wife's reaction is more discussed than Kristin's husband's reaction.

And now - why is he more at fault? Because he was in a position of power and he misused it. Andy Byron as the CEO of Astronomer had a lot more power than any other employee in the company and he chose to use that power to seek an inappropriate and unethical relationship with another employee in the company who worked below him.

Any one is Kristin's place would have felt coerced to go along. That is not an affair, that is coercion and harassment.

And she is not a singular woman in this situation.

Many women all over the world feel obliged to stay in inappropriate relationships because of power imbalance and fear of losing their jobs.

And he is certainly not a singular man in this situation.

Many men abuse their positions of power to get what they want.

Some might argue that she looked too happy in the video for it to be coercion.

To them, I'd like to say this - once you make a decision, your mind makes peace with it, it becomes your reality and instead of being unhappy all the time, your brain accepts your reality and stays happy even in difficult situations that you'd rather not be in. That's resilience.
