How can there be so much in fighting within Microsoft?
Surely there must be a manager somewhere that looks over both teams and makes sure they aren't trying to shaft each other.
- StrawberryFrog 15y agoI'd imagine that that manager is Steve Balmer, or only 1 level below him. The heads of WinDiv (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/ssinofsky/ http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/ssinofsky/ ) and DevDiv (Not sure who that is - Scott Guthrie or his boss?) are pretty senior. Has the infighting gotten worse since Bill Gates handed over?
- michael_dorfman 15y agoScottGu's boss is Soma (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/somasegar/ http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/somasegar/), if I am not mistaken.
- StrawberryFrog 15y agoOk. Still, I get the feeling that Balmer should be sorting this out and setting direction. or making sure that someone does. Doing the "vision thing". Leading, basically.
