See Ya, Meg
I'll miss eBay's outgoing CEO, Meg Whitman. I always enjoyed interviewing her. My favorite was in 2005, when I sat down with her, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, and eBay's second employee, Jim Griffith, for a long session about the company's 10-year anniversary.
Whitman then told me she only went on the eBay job interview so the headhunter wouldn't get mad at her. After one look at Omidyar's bare-bones Web site, then called AuctionWeb, she sarcastically told me: "I remember sitting there thinking, 'Oh this is just great.'"
Hopefully, before long, I'll get to see what the new guy, John Donahue, is like.
