oh, but with a request like that (asking a man out oust himself), i'm afraid you must go to the top.
telling IR to be the messenger in that situation is never good. they worry about their own job security (asking their boss to fire their own self) and your demands will fall on deaf ears.
better to go straight to briscoe imo.
but when you call him, you need to make up your mind if he needs to fire himself or just hire a new CFO.
