Why did Astronomer put Andy Byron & Kristin Cabot 'on leave' instead of firing them?
Astronomer put ex-CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot 'on leave' instead of firing them after they were caught cheating at a Coldplay concert. Legal experts told New York Post that firing employees just over "ugly" headlines isn't easy. "If HR greenlit what happened with Coldplay...heads will likely roll. It...might take few more days before axe drops," experts said.
