This is a decision that the Microsoft CEO gets briefed on, and can veto, but largely an independent subsidiary doing something like this doesn’t come from the mother ship.
- cheschire 6y agoI hope you're that forgiving by default to all leaders who's organizations / countries make controversial decisions, and aren't just being a Microsoft apologist.
- XenophileJKO 6y agoLinkedIn largely is independent. Especially on smaller product decisions like this. We already had something like this for years as a limited release product. It was called "ProFinder".
- spoonjim 6y agoWhy an apologist? I don’t even think this is a decision that Microsoft or LinkedIn needs to apologize for. Is this already a scandal somehow?
- Lammy 6y ago> independent subsidiary I hope you will forgive me if I refuse to believe in such a thing having worked at large companies (non-Microsoft, tbf)
- spoonjim 6y agoWith a lot of large independent subsidiaries, the main company CEO’s decision is firing and hiring the subsidiary CEO and not a whole lot more. The parent company’s management often doesn’t have the bandwidth to get deeply involved so will just veto major decisions.
