For the record, Mike Z is 100% dedicated to Nortel's transformation, and isn't going to Motorola or anywhere else.
I can also confirm that Gary Daichendt isn't returning to Nortel, and that there are definitely no plans to grant you an exclusive one-on-one interview with Mike Z :)
Thanks for the clarification. If you can't write something like this on April 1, when can you do it!
Motorola is going to buy back Mike Z using its warehouses of unsold RAZR and ROKR phones as currency? They are almost as worthless as Nortel stock...
In retrospect, a more beliveable story would have been if Zafirofski had been run over by an irate shareholder.

Thanks for the addition of the last line. NOW this is funny as heck.
The problem is that the whole story (and the comments from Bo - who I hear is looking into a Sunglass Hut franchise in Topeka, KS) never made it to my Google alert. PANIC - RED ALERT! You get the picture. I do have a great funnybone, but there are a lot of hard working tense people out there that were caught off guard. Some will say this is the making of a good April Fool's joke, and I agree. As I stated earlier, the last line now makes this hillarious and appropriate.
Fool me once, shame on me!
When Owens visited all major NT campuses and told us repeatedly that he is not a temporary CEO people called me a cynic because i didn't believe him.
You don't expect a talented young man like Mike Z to stick around forever do you? I think if he isn't successful at selling the place in the next couple of years he will have to move on either way.
But then again, you never know....
