Easy question and risky bet.. honestly, it does matter to me. I cannot quantify this in statistics or measures of personal gain but,
I want Sailfish to be successful as there is already way too much of Android around us in phones, cars, TV's.

Looking forward to the secure version of Sailfish / embedded version later where Symbian dropped the ball with help of Elop within Nokia. Hope that explains why I think Marc should play or be allowed to play the role he took upon him untill he concludes “mission complete” (not saying he didn't but I see no celebration or reason for that).

And I don't mean the only the speeches but the real 95% of time work. I can do without speeches and I even feel slightly embarrassed when watching a marketing speech by Marc followed by an attempt to make a “people powered” wave.

However it seems the world needs a company to be impersonated by such speech giving, hype creating people. Just like you can hardly do without a web site or stack of business cards.
By that critic I am not saying Marc did not play other very useful roles in this small company or that after seeing his behind the scene job reduced / finsished satisfactory that he shouldn't be allowed / asked to give those speeches to the press now and then or use them to introduce his successor.
At some point certain responsbility is coming with being the face of the company for some time, especially when being people powered.


On the “changing job for no reason”, I can't believe it. And I would never hire persons that can change job for no reason at all. I would even question their thinking capabilities.
On the other hand I know from experience and from being personally affected that the manager types attracted by a pot of investors money can sneak in and easily change job when the money is running out.

I strongly believe that working for a company which mission aligns with one's ideology or ethics is more important than a higher salary.
If that is secondary to you that does not mean it is to others.
Although money seems to be a primary drive for job hopping, making it secondary should especially apply to higher levels like politicians who's actions leave lives of many people impacted on the long term.
Strangely they also find many personal and structural reasons to abandon their spot in a heartbeat not seldomly leaving a mess for others to clean up or coop with for years to come.

Back to Jolla, I can make an assessment of the value of Sailfish and the 120+ employees that make it happen without fancy speeches from Marc. Just like I have my reasonable idea about why or why not the Neo900.

Having written too much on the subject I promise that in this thread I will try not to care any further and pretend like people just change job for no reason at all.

Finally I hope the world, just like you do, won't care to try to read doom signals in it.
