>So ... keep the current VP of CGI around because bank execs weren't fired?
No. If I were the CEO of CGI, well, first off, hopefully we'd suck a lot less. Second, I'd like to think I'd have the foresight not to hire someone like her, but I'm not the CEO and I'm talking about the way things really work, not the way you think they work or the way I would like them to work. Because I agree with you.
>I'm not in finance, thank God, but in the tech world stuff like this would not pass muster. Unless you happen to be the CEO of HP, AMD, or Oracle apparently ...
You sure it works that way at huge tech corporations? HP, AMD, and Oracle are probably closer to the rule than the exception, or at least they're more common than you think. You don't think Intel execs would close ranks for even a few weeks around someone that was entrenched and well-connected and said something stupid? I feel like you're giving them too much credit. I mean, we worship Apple, but Jobs took weeks and months to fire two of the guys responsible for Apple Maps, and when Jobs was screwing up in his mid-career, it wasn't overnight that he was let go.
