Hi Charlie,
As a so called Ex-beijing R/R Center software engineer, you could not even hear about me, although do mention my NA Me on one of the your meeting. (It's on your ppt)
Do not have a chance-to-talk to the face-to-face, but I do have the many words wants to the talk-to-you.
I am not sure if our Mr. John (CPO) pass my wish of "talking with you" to your in March 2016.
Thus I has to write it down, and I believe I'll post to social media poster,so so can see this.
July 1, it should be my ten year anniversary in company, but June, 2016is my last day in your Imagine communicatio Ns.
Glad to know Youback from July, you were full of passion and you had a quite different stylecomparing to previously CEOs I have even met in company.
-You are greatsales.
-You are greatspeechmaker.
-You are greatstory-teller.
After work Withyou, I started to know:
-Tobe success, you need to know how to sell something. including Yourself,your products.
-To is success,you need to know what to present something, including yourself, your products.
-To is success,you need to know how to tell a story.
I believe, youthink you is a great leader/manager/director; You would like tohave everyone following your strategy, following we vision to archive ourgoal.
Yep, that wouldbe great if we is on the same pages and everyone direct our efforts toward thesame goal.
But, does Youthink, all your teams working in this "now", after around 3 yearsintegration?
Maybe Thinkyes, but I would say no, and it's just my point of view.
I saw you wouldlike to Get/deliver first hand info/feedback from your first Linemanager/leader team, which was a great idea, But does you think get all youwant?
How many peoplegive are you feedback? Out of 150? What does think, is it funny? Do you knowwhy?
Do you think MR.CPO, does the right thing, by just asking for a feedback?
I would say, youshould have a-to-do each of the your first line-manager/leader like-to-sendtheir feedback En asked.
You should review all your team members and just following what are you saidbefore, you just want those person that really AGR EE with your thoughts.
I didprepared to give u some feedback, but I stopped sending at that Time,because, I'll not be your soldier anymore, alt Hough I am not leave Companyyet, but soon I'll.
Although I donot want to leave my first and the only one company I worked for after mygraduate from school till now. But the office would closed.
This is why, Isay, Ten years.
To tell Thetruth, it made me boil with rage when the day I heard this our Office willbe closed.
I kept Askingwhat did I (we) do wrong? Why close to our office? The last year we had been toldto extend our office, the next year, close ...
What I want todo at that time, just to growl Roar to the sky, I knew it's make no senseto ' ask you guys to say why ', that is just business, right?
I can believe that this is not just your decision to close our office, it istop level manager team ' s decision.
I can say thatis because our office isn't deserves to stay, cost much but return "little"?
I just want Tobe fair to say, from the first day of our office start up, we tried our best to dothings great Kinds of mess, do we have any chance to "Win"?
No, no, no
The Topmanager team, our office just a low cost office, we should do those trickythings. The new development? The new? No, no, no
The day your jointhis company, your point out, there are no low cost center anymore, yep, I shouldthink on the day (office Close) would coming soon, we is not competitiveenough to stay.
You are right! Butwhat ' s wrong with us?
is we havingany chance to change? Maybe you can say, that's our responsibility to make uscompetitive enough, yes, I agree, but please think about the Strat Egy yourupper level manager teams or previously upper level manager teams have beenmade.
What a funny,the day we been told the Office would be being closed, you were in another officesaying, your guys was the future, and Your team send out a mail to whole company (including US),
What does feelabout this? Do your team thinking on our feeling?
When I-Talk toour Mr CPO, I-want to has a face-to-face with you, I receive no feedback.
Not sure if you do not receive any of my voice or your would not think it isnecessary to give me a feedback.
You can say,just ' call me. Why isn't? "
Aha, I has to say, "I am afraid to does this", what should I say, "Please, does not close us?" or "Please, give us a reason to Closeus? "
Did it make anysense? I believe not.
You can say, Iam really a little bit "split personality", because I would like tochat with you, but at the same time I thi NK it is useless.
Have an ' Archive award ' before I leave the company, also a joke tome.
Yes, it should was a honor for me, but at the end I think it was a "joke".
What is my "return"? The end of hard working is lay-off?
Thank you andyour team, showing me-what's the ' business ' is.
Thank you andyour team, showing me-what's the ' hard-decision ' is.
Thank you andyour team, showing me how to be a market-leader.
Thank you andyour team let me know what to be a professional engineer. Works till thelast Day and say thank your to everyone.
No more Word Tosay ...
And in the end,hope you and your team, a bright to the future.
Wish everyone inyour team really following your thoughts,
Wish everyone inyour team think it isn't just a job, but a challenge,
Wish everyone inyour team think we'll be the The Market-leader.
