Hi awk,
I think we all see the opportunity to one degree or another.
It's the inability to forecast the timeline and the demand which are the keys to nearly all of the problems.
The same folks who you rely upon for your 3 month timeline are the folks who have horribly screwed up their forecasting for the last year to such an extent that getting 3 months of life for Wave is actually a doubt. The same folks who said $60m a month or so ago and $50m a week or so ago. They seem clueless.
At the same time, they are accepting performance bonuses, increasing family remuneration, and substantially raising board compensation. Snackman recently reported a conversation he had with the CEO which appears to have been highly misleading.
I admire your will and your focus. I can't defend the last year from any perspective except vision.
For me, that is no longer enough to justify supporting the CEO as the person responsible for imagining and executing an operating plan.
Unfortunately, it is probably too late to do much of anything. The edge of the cliff is here. If there are no feathers to be had, our goose is cooked.
