Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Are we celebrating the anniversary of Canopy Security?

It was announced two full years ago, touted as cameras watching a van full of tools and connected to ADT for real time support.

None of that happened. Doesn’t work in a van, doesn’t connect to ADT., now their lin3 is it watches valuable tools left in an open truck bed 🤣🤣🤣 (nobody does that).

What have they done?

Looked foolish at the 2023 CES event.
Hired 80 people, estimated cost salary and benefits costing $16,000,000 per year.
Paying a “CEO” another million per year.
Sold almost zero subscriptions, already dropped the price to $10/month.

Just to cover the close to $20 million in salaries, they would need to sell over 160,000 annual subscriptions. It’s not happening.

When will there be accountability to shareholders and employees’ bonuses for this huge boondoggle?

Is canopy security still around?

I still can’t believe anyone thought ADT was a good partner for wireless vehicle security, since ADT’s entire business has always been based on hard wired, landline telephone connections.

I thought Stern would shut this debacle down when he joined. Maybe there is a contract with ADT they don’t want to pay damages to end early.

It doesn’t appear they are even trying to sell this anymore. Their X feed hasn’t been updated in weeks, no other apparent marketing. Once this comment is posted, it will get read and someone will tweet something…

Now that you bring up FLV and his great qualities, it brings to mind the story of Hermes, the ancient Greek god of trade, wealth, luck,

“Hermes … rubbed two sticks together, thus inventing both fire-sticks and fire.”

FLV was on a “leave of absence,” why has he not returned?
Another question is why hasn’t Stern shut this down?
Canopy is going nowhere but under.

You negative people would be taking back the criticisms had FLV managed the program to and through launch. He was the brains behind its potential and the media hits caused his efforts to get cut short.

Naturally if the lifeblood of the program is drained and replaced with unenthusiastic and sub-par replacements, you get what you get.

Canopy is still a great product and service, but could have been much better with the right leader.

Well, the “CEO” did manage to take their kid to the suite for the Lions game, kid was too sick to go to school but not to hang out for hours infecting everyone in the room.

A Glock or Mossberg sticker on the truck and the accompanying equipment that comes with the sticker on a human is a better investment.
