Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott Gets Axed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-mysterious dept.

avjt writes "Microsoft has terminated its CIO Stuart Scott for 'violation of company policies'. They won't elaborate. Now what do you think this guy has done?" Ya know, I'm positive someone reading this story knows the answer to the mystery... and they could post it anonymously and be totally fine because there will be a hundred other totally wrong guesses and it would be completely impossible to distinguish the two ;)

    Got caught putting Superglue on Ballmer's chair to keep him from throwing it?

    Got convicted of stealing office supplies for turning off Clippy?

    Got caught actually following an ISO without commoditizing it?

    Got caught following an NDA instead of stealing the ideas for pre-release by Microsoft before their partner?

    We could go on all day on this one.

    He started behaving like a convicted monopolist instead of a monopolist. Having a conscience as an executive is not always a desirable trait.

    He also says that they don't post slashvertisements. Slashdot isn't able to stand up for basic editorial values like fact-checking, not shilling, or just plain copy editing for basic grammar and spelling. So pardon me if my faith is only as strong as the actual practice of their principles.

    I hardly think this is the time for name-calling. The poor guy is unemployed and has seven (that we know about so far) children to support.

    Two words: sexual harassment.

    Scott: Word around the office if you've got a fat cock.
    Mailroom Employee: Yes, I do..
    Scott: I've got a fat cock too. Maybe we should rub our fat cocks together sometime. Maybe a little oil..two fat cocks..together..oil..
