Oracle CFO Leaves after Four Months of Service
An anonymous reader writes "Oracle's CFO and Co-President Greg Maffei has quit. He will be succeeded by Safra Catz, who has been with Oracle for a while, and it will be interesting to see how long she lasts. Before Maffei, Harry You was CFO for 9 months, and before him was Jeff Henley. What's with the CFO shuffle at Oracle?"
CFO's earn so much that 9 months are enough for the rest of their life.
"Larry"
News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters? Like hell.
To quote that annoying Sit-and-sleep commercial finance guy:
You're killing me, Larry!!!!!!!!!!
"What's with the CFO shuffle at Oracle?" We didn't mean to cause any trouble; We're just doin' the CFO Shuffle.
I imagine Oracle's financials are like a messy kitchen. Cleaning it doesn't sound like too bad of a job until you actually walk in and see it... Yes, I live in a bachelor pad.
If it ain't broke, it needs more features!
"When the CFO leaves, it's usually because they think they're in a sinking ship."
Yeah, Oracles obviously in the direst of direly dire straights....
I mean really rough times...
Yes, the shio is sinking!
I suspect Netcraft will confirm Oracles death any moment now.

Isn't it a realtively well known fact that Ellison is a bastard to work for?
It's very simple. CFO stands for "Chief of Fucking Off." Their job is to get hired, sit around for a few days, and then fuck off and look somewhere else for a job.
Sounds like most of the programmers I've worked with over the years. Similar to the sysadmins too, however they download porn instead of looking for jobs.
Help me take back Slashdot. When did 'News for Nerds' become 'FUD and Conspiracy Theories for Extremist Nutjobs'?
Harry You
There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere.
Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit
> You was CFO for 9 months
What? No I wasn't.
For some reason the CFOs have found it disturbing that Larry expects them to cut off their pinky if there are profit warnings :)
First rule of Oracle: Larry Ellison is God. You are not God. Disagreements with God will be answered by plagues.
Maybe they couldn't stand the financial package... ;)

Oracle CFO Leaves after Four Months of Service.
He must have finally gotten a database up and running.
The ______ Agenda
Q - What's the difference between God and Larry Ellison?
A - God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison.
After having worked at least 60 hours so far this week, I read your first line -- no joke -- as:
... great, a troll that might actually be an amusing joke. I could use a joke right about now."
... pole dancer?! Where the hell is my mind right now???
"I left Oracle as a sysadmin after only 2 months on the job as a pole dancer."
I thought, "Woohoo
Then I realized I really have to ditch this job that I'm working so much at every week to the point that I'm starting to see things that just aren't there. Hafta wonder though
But yah, that would've made for a heck of a funny story...
So give us the dirt on Safra, why wasn't it pleasant? I Googled for her picture. She looks cute.
