I fear for MeeGo even before it's properly released. Just cross fingers that it doesn't meet the same fate as Maemo or even worse.

Maybe so however, things change...

My mention of QG was more out of concern. I suspect his role will either get much bigger or much smaller. Either way a change...

A company culture change is not something most people within enjoy, especially those on remote assignment.

Folks tend to circle the wagons and want to stay close to where decisions are made when major changes come in hopes that they can pick up signs to help them predict their own future.

That last bit has just been my observation and experience in this life. It has also been my experience that in reality, getting closer to the core doesn't usually provide any more benefit than staying put. It just temporarily relieves the anxiety some feel.

This big roundish rock we are all on keeps on turnin'.

Precisely the reason why it would be good if they did hire you back into that type of position. Recognizing that you lack resources is a far better qualification for this job than someone who is convinced that they are fully qualified but fall short on recognizing when they actually needed better insight and resources.

Read it. Don't buy it. Wayyy too conjectural, even for me.

Not gonna happen.

Ever hear of the Peter Principle?

I do appreciate your sentiment, but it's not my thing. I'm more artist than businessman by far. I know my limitations, too. Not gonna try to exceed them. I'd rather excel within the realm of practicality and enjoyment.

That said, I would love to return to Nokia in a capacity within my likes and abilities. I don't see it happening. Rumor has it the rapidly-shrinking Dallas office is soon to be gone, and a regime change can easily make that happen. And that will be that for me.
