The team is full of smart and motivated people.
With repeated rounds of layoffs and performance-based reductions, morale is challenged, and many of the smart and motivated people whom I have enjoyed working with have found or been shown the door.
SLT should be more proactive at retraining and redeploying talent. I think this would go a long way to building up the human capital in the organization instead of demotivating during this time of rapid change and business pressure.
Microsoft's different organizations feel like very separate businesses that don't cross-pollinate with talent enough.
