I doubt if Mason blows his nose without checking with the boss first
I think I have responded in some detail with what I have heard about senior management dynamics at CPQ but let me say it again - the general feeling over the last year was that EM was thumbing his nose at EP, not blowing it...

And I can tell you from my personal experience years ago, the folks on EP's staff regularly told him to pound salt. Real power brokers like Gary Stimac and Ross Cooley had so much stroke with the BOD that they were as likely to have EP fired as he was to fire them.

EP does not have the "Power of Financial Life or Death" if the board can reverse his decisions, which they can and do. Right now, it is most likely EP who is asking for permission to blow his nose.
