I currently work at Microsoft, and all I can say is that I actually have so much respect for CEOs lately. It takes a huge amount of foresight and understanding of human nature to move a company this size in the right direction, because you’re trying to incentivize all these divisions to behave the way you intend. As I’ve become more experienced I’ve learned that company culture is way more important than I thought when I first graduated college.

> the right direction I used to have a great relationship with Microsoft. I gave them money, they gave me software and went away (patches aside). Now they want to monitor me and advertise to me. It's fairly sad. And certainly not what I would call the right direction.

  Every now and then when I get silly thoughts about Microsoft as such (as opposed to just very specific divisions) being "on the right direction", I recall that LinkedIn is under MS ownership. It’s not that LinkedIn is bad; it’s a trackfire if dark patterns and has been getting worse since acquisition.
