Microsoft said it fired Chief Information Officer Stuart Scott for violating unspecified company policies.
The company terminated Scott after "an investigation for violation of company policies," said spokesman Lou Gellos, who declined to give details.
Call me crazy but if a senior executive of one of the world's largest publicly traded companies gets his ass fired one would think that there would be a wee bit more information made available.
Valleywag has an interesting take on it. Irrespective of whether or not the rumour behind it is true the fact that this will be CIO #4 in 4 years is pretty much unheard of in a company of this size.
What does Scott's departure really tell us? That the CIO job at Microsoft, where Scott's chief responsibility was inflicting Microsoft's newest, buggiest software on his colleagues, is deadly boring. Boring enough to make a bit of intramural entertainment plausibly worth the risk of getting caught. Scott's successor will be Microsoft's fourth CIO in as many years.
