ACS is going to be obliterated. The three year project was a failure. Maybe they should have not brought in a leader who had zero IOT experience.

He’s finally leaving the sinking ship. It doesn’t take a lot to see the poor direction this is heading.

His connected solutions org is losing customers to better providers with better technologies. VP of business development is leaving (no one liked him anyway, super arrogant). Failed or constantly delayed rollout and deployments. Lack of vision of inspiration.

Zero surprises.

@OP my guess is that the ones that are leaving are better apples than the ones staying in their useless higher ups “thrones” with their PowerPoints and ambitions.
Stankey’s applesauce will be turning sour at this pace.

@dr don’t know him at all but it but all the more senior people I do know that have retired in the last year or so have been the more decent and human ones. Not a great trend.

For those without a clue, Arroyo is the Chief Strategy Officer and he loves Lamborghinis

Worked under him years ago. He was alright and generally took care of his people. Wasn’t a bad boss. Can’t say I saw anything he actually did, but maybe that wasn’t a bad thing. He kind of got out of the way and let you do your job from what I saw. Sometimes that’s what a good leader does. I’d say he’s probably better than everyone else at his level that works here. Probably why he’s leaving, doesn’t like the direction.

His parting/retirement gift, for all of his stellar contributions to the business, should be a 1985 Yugo. Also a lifetime supply of Applesauce, courtesy of the Stank.

As a fan of management science, this is an intriguing retirement. That's all I got. Big fan of management science though.

“ cannot handle stepping up in the new market based environment.”

Stepping up to what? Meaningless business jargon? Do you really believe this cr_p?

Sad day for me. Love my little parking spot. Mostly loved leaving the garage and shooting out exhaust and kicking up road pebbles on the 90 homeless people between my cozy little underground parking spot and 3 blocks down.

It's been fun everyone. Nos Vamos!

No one knows what he did anyway.

Spent the last 10 years looking for his red stapler.

No one C level leaving will impact the business. All of those impacting the business positively have left.
It’s the 4th qtr.
Expect more names to drop. Especially those that cannot handle stepping up in the new market based environment.
What’s really telling is he left right at 30 years. Not much of a commitment to the company leaving right at 30.

Imagine Legg and Stankey having their heads so far up their a-s that they are clueless that the company is crumbling right out from under their feet. The CTO hasn’t made a single successful contribution to this company since he walked through those doors, except for his incessant DEI goals he touted on his town halls. No words needed for the lead loser Stankey. We all know the score there. Bye Thaddeus. Bye Legg. Bye Stankey. You will all be retiring soon once the stock hits $12. F-k all three of you degenerates.

Connection solutions will dissolve. Lost so many customers. RTO didn’t help and lots of good people lost causing lost customers and contracts and delayed deployments. This is the result.

My bet is more will exit. Especially since WB is actively being shopped. Which would give a nice bonus.
