Another Telkom executive resigns

[eremos]

You know, it just MIGHT be possible that he resigned because he was fed-up with having to say stuff that he was personally uncomfortable with.

Fair enough, but frankly I would say he deserves at least some animosity for how long this took him. If I had to choose between resigning and spewing forth blatant lies I would resign and look for a new job while I still had a reputation.

Of course I don't suppose he'd have much trouble finding work. There must be plenty of other unscrupulous companies looking for a flexible spokesperson.

Waywood Hayward Gone!!!!! oh boy this is good news

Can't wait for the weekend to celebrate... and the fact that I only have to wait a few hours.... well it just gets better

Wonder were he is off too

There is a song in all this.... I shall sleep on it

So let's not jump to conclusions. And it's not like the new guy is going to be any more honest. Telkom has a public policy and it's the job of their marketing department to carry out that policy irrespective of the person who's working that department's personal beliefs.

It's not easy to refuse to do something you don't like when your job is literally on the line.

Steve Hayward and his statements are just a symptom of the larger problem : Telkom. So let's direct our animosity where it really belongs, because venting at some stupid sap who was caught between a rock and a hard place doesn't do anyone any good.

all good and valid points....but those who have been in meetings with / exposed directly to the disaffected arrogance of the chief propagandist should be forgiven a brief moment of celebration

Guess that chinese racial slur never worked out for Steve.

Now he'll have to pay out of his own pocket for the cheapest broadband on the planet, where u take this and that out of the bundle to make it cheap LMAO

What are you talking about? ADSL is uncapped and costs R200 a month here

 

[RoosTa]

Bah, still doesn't solve the problem though and he gets off scott-free (with millions).

 

[Wyzak]

Good riddance, let's hope for our sake and for his sake that we NEVER hear anything from him again.

 

[Cujo]

With 12 years of telkoms experiance in South Africa, dont be surprised if Neotel has scooped him up.

@Dragonlagos, that may be true but how then did MS become the biggest company is the world and Bill the richest man in the world?

... um, intellectual property theft 'an fraud?

Major victory for myadsl: a mighty warrior of the beast slams into the dust.

(for how long can a corporate citizen defy the prez? Um too long when the prez's own government are the shareholders.)

I feel no victory glow even though we suffer so (I give only sympathy.)

 

[NoADSLyet]

From one shiit to the other, who cares? Telkom remains the biggest lavatory in the country, a true farm pit version. Only good to be abused and crapped upon.

 

[kifoth]

Anyone think it strange that Steve "No drastic ADSL price cuts" Hayward resigned a week before Telkom announced "Aggressive broadband price reductions"? This was previously his domain, right?

Or should I put my tinfoil hat back on?

Does anyone know which company he moved to yet?

Definition of Stevelessness: a phenomenon where there is one less Steve left to do the very important job of spewing forth blatant lies and deceiving those that do not know better, on Telkodemonopolies' behalf...

Please Ivy, have pity on this Steve - give him a doughnut when your driver passes him at an intersection.
