Once fabulous, Microsoft has now lost its heart and its way
Once fabulous, Microsoft has now lost its heart and its way
Working with a global team of incredibly smart people. Individual passion for product and technology is second to none.
When Microsoft was all about passion, technology, and customers, no one minded the long hours and non-optimized interpersonal relationship skills of our senior management. We had a shared mission, vision, and goals.
There is no longer a positive variance on the "my deal at Microsoft" balance sheet for employees. Long hours, abysmal collaboration at all levels, and an interpersonal environment that feels increasingly like Wal-Mart.
Pull up!
There's still time, just not much. We're quickly losing all our best and brightest.
