Slowly Becoming Microsoft
Slowly Becoming Microsoft
Decent flexibility for PTO, good benefit accounts, and not too difficult to do well.
Benefits have been getting worse and worse every year.
Microsoft just tells us what to do and how much money we get for salary/bonuses, and then they move goalposts to pay less.
Constant layoffs with below industry standard payouts.
Poor top-level decision-making and an inability to stand by good products instead of chasing a shiny new technology.
Stick by some of the existing products instead of KTLOing good solutions customers use. (Via laying off, then re-orging most people to a shiny, new product)
