[โ] greyfrog@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) I'd love to know what happened internally, I really do not feel Snafnauer was the problem though. Alpine have been lost for a long while now. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Radium@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 years ago (2 children) This feels to me like a work project where management promised it done next month and it will reasonably take a year to finish. Otmar the middle manager kept insisting it will take a year but upper management doesnโt care and thinks that replacing the middle managers will somehow speed up the timeline. From my experience this delays the original year long timeline and worsens the overall end product. I feel bad for the Alpine employees who are being subjected to this thrash . permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] bhmnscmm@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago That's exactly how it sounded to me too with all that "we agree on principles but not on the timeline" phrasing. They may as well reset the clock on their 100 race plan. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago Othmar pretty much said that in his goodbye interviews with the media. He came in, the suits told him "this is the plan and we need to be that good in that time", Othmar told them "that's not doable" and they were like "well then you're the problem" permalink fedilink source parent
