CxO humour

One of the last books I read contained a brief glossary at the end, with definitions of frequent and common terms in the IT business.

In particular, what it said about CxOs made me smile:

CEO

The guy/gal in the big office. This is a tough gig. CEOs are usually busier than you can imagine.

CFO

The guy/gal who tells you how many PCs or Macs you can buy

CIO

The guy/gal who tells you whether you can use a Mac or a PC

CTO

The guy/gal who tells you which is better, a Mac or a PC

Does it sound familiar?

If you’re curious about the book, it’s Managing Humans, by Michael Lopp.
