AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express frustration and skepticism about Proton's leadership, vendor relationships, and overall performance, highlighting issues like cronyism, low quality parts, overstaffing, and financial losses. Many believe changing the CEO alone won't solve deeper systemic problems rooted in governance and vendor overcharging. Suggestions to sell the company, cut staff, and bring in foreign management or partnerships are common. There's strong dissatisfaction with Proton's pricing, quality, and political influences, with some wishing for closure or sale to foreign companies. Others emphasize the need for experienced engineers, a culture overhaul, and transparency. Despite hopes for the new CEO, sentiment remains largely negative, with doubts about Proton's ability to turn around without fundamental reforms. Overall, comments reflect disappointment and distrust towards Proton's current state and management.
