Behind The Metricom Meltdown
from the not-looking-good dept
Red Herring has an article they wrote about the collapse of Metricom. They actually wrote it prior to the bankruptcy filing, but rushed it out to their webpage to be more timely. It basically points out the many mistakes they’ve made along the way, and says that the current “interim” CEO’s job all along has been to sell the company – but they’re not sure it will ever get done. I’m still hoping someone rescues them, or I’m going to have to go back to dialup.

fucked company...
What we need for this continuing saga is a F*ckedServices.com web site to monitor what will happen to services that are going out of biz…. Can you say publicity stunt, Masnick??
metricom -- good pay
Good find on the red herring article. I wanted to bring you your attention that the interim CEO is being paid $150K gross a month PLUS $5K per DAY — that’s $300K * 12 = $3.6 million a year PLUS 1.5% of the sale price. Even if the thing doesn’t sell for a while, for its certainly going into bankruptcy — that’s my kinda job!
