Let's see...
- no clear vision
- no real leadership
- no accountability
- bloated executive suite
- failure to keep products moving forward
- no real R&D or innovation
- brain drain
And we are getting rid of MORE workers to fix the sinking ship? When it was the leadership's responsibility to get us ahead? So if they aren't responsible for anything, why are they here again? Let us make the decisions instead, that way if I'm going to be fired it'll be my fault.
And we are divesting as well. So what has been the real purpose of acquiring so much tech? The board members have made these decisions all from long ago until now. Did they finally give up? I stand to argue that none of them know what they're doing and they have no real business sense, they got lucky with some acquires and with their poor business skills have failed to keep momentum going forward.
We were on the right track to fire Mark but we forgot to get rid of the puppeteer, Mr. Tom Jenkins himself along with the board members who have been making these poor decisions after poor decisions since it all started. But that's impossible because ALL the board members are incompetent, and there's no one above. So it's game over.
The final cherry on this cake (truly an insult to us all) is that we hired an executive failure from BlackBerry to take over as the master puppet. Tom Jenkin's hand can reach all the way through and it still won't make a difference.
This is really fascinating and funny to watch evolve in real time. The funnier part is that we have/had the tech to be great. Despite what many of you say about our products being "cr-ppy" which is merely a symptom of bad leadership, we had the chance many times to take it to the next level and instead we sat our as--s down draining whatever life was left of these products until they started to crumble. And then they have the audacity to sp-t in our faces for these failures.
I am truly sorry to everyone who has been and will be affected. The economy is not great, and some of us need our jobs more than ever. You have been failed by corporate toddlers, you deserve better.
As for the corporate toddlers, go back to business school and this time don't skip classes.
