So did that new CFO flush the company down the toilet?

>Just a bit about said company:
>
>We got a new IT Director who was an Access/Power Builder person. I showed him what I was doing with VFP (December 1995) and he canceled the Power Builder projects- we went VFP.
>
>A few weeks later on a Friday afternoon our manager was fired – with no explanation. Monday the CFO was fired. At our Tuesday 0800 meeting the new CFO barged in and introduced himself. “I am a personal friend of the president of the company and I came out of retirement to straighten things out. First I will fire all of you programmers, as I do not believe in computers. Then I will hire 40 typists and buy 40 typewriters and make a profit”!
>
>At 0900 I called a friend and arranged for an interview at 1200. By 1300 I was hired and gave two weeks notice. Two weeks after I left the pp company all 40 programmers and IT personal were fired. The CFO kept his word.
>
>The moral of the story is to try to keep one step ahead of the pp in life. :)
