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 doesnโ€™t 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 .

    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"
