The Elio Engine

and why are they not forced by those P.C.- Pep Boys & Girls? lol

No, you can't make any references to gender! Pep Children. But that is probably ageist. Pep Young People? Or maybe just chop the end off like the did with "chairman" and make them just "Pep"

2 months ago I watched another manager miss a project time line by a little bit . Not bad considering the time allotted to do it was questionable from the start. He had his contact canceled on the spot. No other problems in the past nothing. It was explained to him you did not do what you said you would do.
Gone. This happens often. He will land on his feet some where else , he is very good at his job. But it won't be here. Now if he does great things where ever he lands, he could someday end up back here and replace someone that fired him . Just how it works. Do what you say you will do ,or don't say it.

Everything you've shared about the company you work for and I have to say, it sounds like a fairly horrible place to work. If I was that manager I wouldn't come back to that company in the future, I'd get a job at a competitor and do my best to destroy your company!

Join the real world the way it works. You want the glory you must produce.

I don't necessarily always agree with what Smitty901 has to say, but in the real world you must deliver on your commitment.
Failure to deliver on your commitment reflects poorly on your credibility and may cost you your job.
On the other hand, if you consistently produce your deliverables, you stand a very good chance of advancement.

They delayed due to stakeholder schedule. Apparently, something came up at the last minute that Paul and his guys thought was important enough to warrant a delay. That is all we know. Everything else is conjecture.

And I don't blame you for not wanting to read all this thread!

What industry makes a difference . Share holders have found new power and many and demand results. In our case company was making money but the assets sold off were more the twice the stock price. It would have made sense to sell it off and walk away. Huge investor took 13%, took over the board and replaced CEO. New CEO was cold hearted. He fixed the problems that had held the company back fast. He hit the ground running day one.
He tossed unneeded and non producing people out day after day. He was known for asking someone what do you do here. If it took to long to respond, or the response was phony double talk gone. One year the stock price doubled. The day to day employees that would have been out on the street had the company been sold out still have jobs. Manager means different things at different companies. CEO has no problem paying some one 6 figures a year.
But you are going to earn it. Biggest bunch that hit the road Marketing, he shut down one whole building of them, " could not find a single thing they did there" His team did better without them. Customers we were about to lose he ask them to give him 30 days to fix it and he did. Companies that were looking at taking us over two years ago are now worried we may take them over.
The 240 million Elio needs, for this company is a line item small number. But the issue is the same. If you want investor money you have to earn it.
If you want to run the company then you have to earn it dreams and nice public appearance don't get it done. In the right hands ELIO can do great things in the wrongs ones it will be just another start up failure. Failure is not rewarded no madder the reason. Up till now ELIO gas not done what they said they would do.
You think I am against ELIO I am not ELIO needs a real wake up call quick.

Nice find, any idea why it's such poor mpg, compared to what the Elio "might" produce?
Back in the day I had a 3 cyl SAAB 2 stroke- lots of fun

Don't get me wrong.
I had to write peoples appraisals. And not withstanding personal friendship, I had to be objective.
On top of that, I had to deal with outside vendors.
I recall a VP personally coming to my office to discuss the business case I made for buying specific equipment from a specific vendor. He told me that he was very impressed with the business case I had made, but because of "stakeholder issues" I needed to look at the other two finalists and prepare a business case for the best alternative Tough to do on a 250K computer equipment acquisition. And when I was done I had to personally justify it to the "stakeholder" (a VP from another organization).
You are entitled to your opinion. Sometimes I will agree, sometimes I won't.
I was agreeing with your general statement and disagreeing with the idea that people shouldn't have to be answerable for failing to meet their commitments.
