From the article,

"After he had been working at Adobe for about six months, Elop told the company in June 2006 he’d be leaving, setting his departure date as Dec.5, one year to the day since he had been hired."

"At Juniper, Elop resigned on Wednesday (2008) β€” also one year to the day from when he started "

And then Microsoft for two years. And now Nokia. What kind of impact did he make on all these companies (given the tiny amounts of time spent in each) that made Nokia think he had the chops to rescue them? Genuine question.

And to think that when underpaid developers move frequently , they are "bad hires" e.g: "Never hire job hoppers. Never. They make terrible employees." - Mark Suster (HN discussion at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1287110)



The differences in standards applied to people perceived as "executives" vs. people perceived to be "employees" are truly astonishing.


You are being too unkind. I think Elop has already finihsed his job.
