“As I’ve told colleagues and upper management, Canonical isn’t the company I excitedly joined back in 2011 and it’s not a company that I would want to join today”
Pretty damning comment. I don’t know the backstory here, but it seems aimed at management not doing a good job given the praise he lavished on the tech teams.
Can someone here fill me on the issues they’re facing?
- BaseballPhysics 3y agoYeah, tbh I was a little shocked he put that out there. Speaking for myself, I know I wouldn't publicly burn a bridge like that for what seems to be no good reason, and I'd advise anyone leaving a job to try to do so on reasonable terms if possible. If Canonical is really that bad, people already know (and judging by the comments... yeah... not great).
- frozenport 3y agoOSS companies have strong community interaction. He needs to explain why he tried to get tons of people to work on Canonical adjacent tech, but is now leaving. He'd be burning bridges with all his contacts if he didn't off them an explanation as to why Canonical tech is no longer something they should contribute to.
- BaseballPhysics 3y agoI don't agree. He could simply say "After reflection and thinking about what I want to do next in my career, I've realized it's time to part ways with Canonical.". Frankly, that'd be about as detailed as what he posted, but without the parting shot (it's not like he elaborated on his management complaints). He owes no one a detailed explanation for his decision and it's perfectly normal to keep things like this close to the vest.
