AOL CTO Shown the Door

BrewerDude writes "Reuters is reporting that AOL Chief Technical Officer Maureen Govern has resigned from the company. Is this an appropriate penalty for releasing 20 million keyword search results, or is it too harsh, or not harsh enough? What do the slashdot readers think is the appropriate outcome of this fiasco?"

    I know, does anyone think this would have happened if a man had been the CTO? It was clear to me from the beginning that this was caused by a woman. If there are women at your company, they are almost certainly the cause of problems like this.

    The knowledge that there are so many women infiltrating the traditionally male workplace makes me fear for our future.

    Women are often emotional, and their actions are more likely to based on feelings than on real thought. This is why they are so dangerous in corporate America.

    Just ask yourself, "Would I prefer my isp's CTO to be named 'Maureen McGovern' or 'Michael Johnson'?"

    Her company showed her the door, maby her husband should show her the kitchen.
