why? why wouldn't it be a preferable situation that an option is presented that will avoid the resignations?
this actually provides options for microsoft to evaluate rather than leaving it with just post-facto realizing it was making (possibly) costly moves.
- gist 8y ago> why? why wouldn't it be a preferable situation that an option is presented that will avoid the resignations? Where do you draw the line with that type of thinking? If you want to control things to your liking and you have the resources and the skills you can start your own company. In regular life by the way this is what unions are for. But even with unions it's laid out what you can and can't do and when you can do it. The union can't decide to have a strike for any issues at any time. And why do you assume that it's simple for a large group of people to leave what is almost certainly a good job? That for a mass of people there are jobs waiting that are equivalent and would not require relocation? Once again on an individual basis it's possible. But a group? All at once? What about wives and family members? This is not like deciding to not buy a product at the supermarket 'let's vote with out dollars'. It's also not right to put pressure on fellow co-workers expecting some type of behavior that might not be consistent with their own views.
