BEGIN ALICE RANT: Call me old fashioned, but I like my CEOs to be a little on the casual side – to a point. Bill G in his cords, Steve Jobs in his classic black mock turtleneck. But I draw the line at the ponytail. The ponytail to me signals leadership trouble, and sure enough Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz proved that today by . As a Haiku, no less.
“Today’s my last day at Sun. I’ll miss it. Seems only fitting to end on a #haiku. Financial crisis/Stalled too many customers/CEO no more”
Blaming the financial meltdown for the woes at Sun is like blaming the Toyota recall on the Detroit collapse. Wonder what Larry Ellison – in his almost terrifyingly formal suits – thinks about this one?

Announcing your resignation on Twitter does seem a bit tacky to me, but nowhere near as bad as using a haiku. Has nobody noticed that whenever anyone wants to mock poetry, they use haiku? I think there’s a reason for that.
I agree. The Twitter resignation would have been tacky but there is no excuse for the haiku. Awful.

Yes! Blaming the financial meltdown for the woes at Sun is like blaming the Toyota recall on the Detroit collapse.
