It’s horrible because she is the head of HR! She’s involved in an extramarital affair with the CEO. Basically, how much worse of an HR faux pas could you commit?” Cafaro told The Post.

Who Are The Boston Brahmins? Astronomer HR Head Kristin Cabot's 'Elite Connection' Explained
Oliver Wendell Holmes coined the term in his 1861 novel Elsie Venner, calling Boston's elite families "the Brahmin Caste of New England".
Kristin Cabot, caught in a viral embrace with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, appears to be married to Privateer Rum founder Andrew Cabot, a member of a prominent Boston family.
Another employment attorney, William Cafaro, told The Post he believes from what he’s seen, booting Cabot would be easy, but he suspects the company and her might be wrangling over an exit deal.
