Whew, what a ride! It's been great at Alphabet! The product is on track and in talented hands, but it's time for me to move on to disrupting the next industry! I'm being fired, but if I don't dress it up, I'll lose what's left of my stock options!

it's too bad the crony tech journos got onto fadell's case so badly because his leadership was exactly what the industry needs, showing tech "workers" little to no respect and treating iot customers with equal contempt
