Disclaimer: MS is a big company.
I don't see this attitude in my group at all. Not saying it doesn't exist elsewhere, but people are extremely generous with sharing credit/praise, and people overall are pretty good at standing up and publicly admitting errors.
I'm sorry you worked in a sucky group. Hope it's better where you are now.
- jdp23 15y agoVery true, and I didn't mean to tar all groups with the same brush. There are plenty of great teams at MS which avoid these dynamics. However there are also plenty of people gaming the system and I think if you look at Microsoft's overall lack of success -- and the number of passionate creative people who have left -- "the curve" and how it's applied have a lot to do with it.
