If I was him, knowing the amount of $$$ waiting for me at the end of my tenure, I'd also be forcefully optimistic, if only not to get kicked out and lose some of it. Go Mikey!
Nortel watcher
Mike should be careful with some of those hand gestures, they can be interpreted as offensive in some parts of the world.
I can see how familiar Zaf is with CALA region customer TelMex referring to them as TeleMex. Just another CEO that cannot dot his i's or cross his t's.

What's this, April Fool's ??
Mike, lead by example …. something like, $200,000 salary + share appreciation bonus compensation …. $10,000,000 and failing doesn't cut it ….
sad sad day for nortel
Mikey, take my advise, split the enterprise and carrier products. PBX platform is on a different road then the Carrier VOIP solution (Nortel no longer #1 in voip). It's no wonder the R&D organization is in shambles. It's pretty sad when your own products don't work well together or when interfacing other 3rd party vendors who have adopted open standards. Nortel has come a long way from the days of driving and chairing standard bodies to unify open standards. Nortel has become irrelevant!!
