Title: Martha Stewart and Bill Gates
Post by: SpeeDFreaK on 5 June 2003, 17:23: I was watching the news around 7AM and they had a little story on Ms. Stewart current troubles. What got me was what they described her new position to be. She was still a member of the board, but she was now the "Chief Creative Officer". My response after hearing this:

:confused: WTF?

Is this what people with large corporations do when they screw up? Resign from CEO and take some obscure title in their company? And would it work this time? Martha ain't no Microsoft.
