Microsoft only left US Federal oversight seven years ago. Satya has only been in charge for four years. Do you think the mindset of an international 130,000 employee company can change that fast?
- village-idiot 8y agoYes. Because you don’t have to change all of it. A lot of those people are in support, logistics, or working in extremely stable projects (e.g. office). Besides, the risk here is toxic managerial choices, and you can and do swap out VPs and similar over half a decade.
- Kalroth 8y agoThe changes that Satya implemented were only possible because the majority of employees agreed with his vision. Anecdotally speaking, the culture enforced by Ballmer was not that popular among Microsoft's employees.
- sureaboutthis 8y agoYour two sentences contradict each other. If Ballmer's implementations were unpopular with employees, why did he hold office for so long? What I'm saying is, employees don't get to decide how a company is run.
