I wonder what he did. Criticize hd-dvd or Toshiba?

A CIO getting fired for "violating company policies" has to have an interesting story behind it...

Rob71 · 11-07-2007, 05:29 PM

Was he too honest?

glenn22 · 11-07-2007, 05:31 PM

hmm... perhaps he was trying to push for quality products...

Monkey · 11-07-2007, 05:43 PM

last two posters nailed it.

gandley · 11-07-2007, 10:43 PM

did he undermine Amir in an insiders thread?

Trebar · 11-07-2007, 10:49 PM

You know it was Pron on the network.

He found out the horrible truth that all the working 360's were sent to japan where no one buys them.

Like that one

Maybe it was the 'I LUV Blu' he had tattooed on his forehead ?

The jokes write themselves.

He kept referring to his title a Chief Information Officer, when it was actually supposed to be Chief Misinformation Officer. He and Amir were supposed to be working as a team.
