Elop to employees: "the company was standing on a “burning platform.” “We have more than one explosion,” he wrote in an internal memo, according to news reports and a person with knowledge of the document. “We have multiple points of scorching heat that are fueling a blazing fire around us.” WHAT THE EMPLOYEES HEAR TRANSLATION: "I'm incompetent and out of touch with you employees who could have probably told me the reasons I have set the company on fire. I'm standing here now blaming you in a round about way for it, rather than taking the blame myself or pointing out how incredibly stupid management has been. There is no way I would ever consult you so you could clue me in on what business we are in. You might have some really great ideas but I'm really not interested, unless it benefits me directly. Besides it's obvious I'm a lot smarter than you peons. Just look at my suit!!!" WHAT ELOP IS THINKING: "I have absolutely no idea what to do or how to compete. I guess we'll have to surrender to my former company. I should come out OK what ever happens and that's the important part. My assets are secure but what the heck, maybe this dog and pony show will have some effect and people will continue to believe I'm competent, so if Nokia goes down I'll be able to find another lucrative job somewhere else. It's hard to believe that anyone is going to swallow this pile of crap though. But you never know there are some really dumb people in this world."
