Get back to basics, Microsoft!
Get back to basics, Microsoft!
Microsoft is a big company with many opportunities, and little worry that the company and/or group you're working in will "shut down". I know I can come into work every day and do a good job, and not worry about one or two people who are running the company making bad decisions that will affect my daily life. I'm able to make long-term decisions because I know and trust my employer.
MS has gotten too big compared to 10 years ago. There's not enough small teams working efficiently and quickly. Instead, the business teams tend to run everything without talking to the engineering groups to manage what can be done, and how long it will take to do it. Basically, there are just too many non-geeks running things.
Talk and listen to the lowest of the employees on how to make all aspects of MS work better.
