Microsoft fires CIO Stuart Scott, possibly for inter-office affair with his subordinate


Microsoft announced the dismissal of CIO Stuart Scott yesterday. They refused to give a reason. But sources in Redmond say the executive had an affair with one of his subordinates, who had recently received a substantial promotion... from Stuart Scott himself.

So much speculation on this person, can't even guess what's true.  Affairs are juicy gossip but has harmful affect on other people rightly or wrongly linked - SAD that's what everyone wants to read about.  Violating company policies is clear and straight forward - get rid of the bastard, I say.

There will always be "corporate groupies" - peopel who will want to spend quality time with big shots or talented people. lets look at the positive side - these groupies feel great afterwards. Look at Nora Jones - her mom got a gift from Ravi Shankar. If you want your child to be a future CIO, the odds go up if you get the right donation.

Sigh, Satyriasis is like nymphomania--term that was used to describe an apparent hightened desire for sexual activity.  So he wasn't the "condition."  If the attention to the subordinate was not "unwelcomed," then there was no harassment.  The reason for the promotion can be made by looking at work product and records.  Just my two cents...

The guy is a " Satyriasis" (male equivalent of a nymphomanic). He has seven children and he is only 41.

There is no option to vote for 'Microsoft did the right thing because Stuart abuses his power because of an affair'
