Here ’s a follow - up toNumair Faraz’s“Damn You All ” letter to Meteorola ’s Greg Brown , with the position of one of Moto ’s ex - European Product Line Managers . register the allege account of the wholeDilbertian messis quite dramatic and sad :
https://gizmodo.com/letter-from-a-moto-insider-how-stupid-execs-ran-moto-i-372565
I too used to work at Motorola and the incompetency of the EXEC was incredible .
Ron Garriques had a “ number 1 in 1000 day ” strategy which resulted in sell loudness at all costs . employee know over a 18 calendar month ago that Moto was heading for a train crash .
Several European middle managers submitted plans to make profit rather than deal loudness and all were dismissed by the US VPs include Ray Roman ( since survive ) who adjudge that there was still pregnant demand for the original RAZR and anyone who require to terminate selling it ( in favour of more profitable phones ) did n’t know what they were babble about .
Amer Hussaini ( also go ) head of portfolio , declared that no one needed anything greater than 2MP cameraphones and that there was no time to come in sliders .
Ed Zander sold off Freescale despite there being a solus 3 thou chipset contract still being in place . Result , Moto could n’t corrupt cheaper Qualcomm chipsets , Freescale keep on the price mellow and all of the Moto 3 G devices were uncompetitively price .
Shareholders rewarded these incompetents with favorable chute whilst the hardworking employees who were passionate about Moto were made redundant ( not me I hasten to add . I regard the writing on the wall and jump ship . )
Moto EXEC are very short - termist and only look to the next product launching and have no strategical vision . Products are establish ( late ) without any succession preparation . faculty are completely misdirect and all the good engineer are now conk .
package strategy ? Forget it . How many platforms are they still trying to support ? MotoAjar , P2 K , LinuxJava , Symbian / UIQ , Windows Mobile , plus ODM devices .
His verbal description paint a rather pitiful pictorial matter of their top executive which , following Faraz ’s mail , seems like the real thing . As he separate us in a follow - up ring mail :
Personally I do n’t screw him ( Faraz ’s ) , however , his view is very valid . Previous White House were more interested in building their own little power bases and lining their pockets rather than the futurity of Motorola . Moto is full of war tribes and it is now more vicious than ever as they seek to ringfence their little empires from the swing out cuts that are coming .
for instance Linux Java used to have ~8000 engineer . Now it is down to ~4000 and they still have n’t delivered an operator - compliant gimmick . Yet the VP is still there , still earning mega - bucks , and it ’s the engineers that get made supererogatory , not the aged loss leader . No answerableness at a senior level for unsuccessful person .
