Bet the board of the Boston tech firm Astronomer never thought this is how their week would go!

Posted Friday afternoon at 2:39 PM EST:

More from Axios, which says the CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot have been put on leave, pending an investigation.

  • Between the lines: Both Byron and Cabot were immediately put on leave, according to a source familiar with the situation.

  • The company's delayed response has been due in part to Byron's slow resignation and exit package negotiations, another source told Axios.

  • In the meantime, it took the company more than 24 hours to issue even the simplest 'we are investigating the matter' holding statement.

If you sit on the board for a company, now might be the time to plan for a communications strategy if your CEO and "chief people officer" get caught cheating ... and become a viral internet meme.
