More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: Weakness: The communication skills of Mr. Kleinfeld are praised and he is displayed as socially concerned manager. I am concerned that his co-workers introduced these features for three reasons: 1. They reportedly have been cought doing that in the past. 2. His communication skills cannot be that good because he announced a 30 % raise for the board of directors while laying off employees at the same time. The public is very upset about that, raising significant doubts about his communication skills. 3. If he would be socially concerned, he would not fire thousands of employees and raise his salary at the same time. (edit)

Actually, the German version of Kleinfeld's biography is much more comprehensive. While the material presented on the english wikipedia is mainly a copy from Siemens PR material, the german web site features tons of well-documented critizism, such as Kleinfeld's attempts to systematically alter his wikipedia page through Siemens PR agents, his other PR-desasters (like having PR persons photoshopping a Rolex watch out of a previously released company picture, demanding salary increases of 30% for himself while massively laying off staff or demanding a contract extension with Siemens before his role in a scandal was fully investigated) and his role in current Siemens-catastrophes like the unsuccessfull Mobile-Phones-spin-off that ended in massive layoffs and bancrupcy of the cellphone division, his role in the bribery scandal (where Siemens executives systematically bribed unionists and "customers".

Somebody should take some time and translate the german version.
