"I used to abuse people physically and/or emotionally in my early 20s but now I really hope I'm a different person" seems like a far fetched world view to conjure, to me. Do these people exist?
- mulmen 4y agoIf you believe in incarceration as rehabilitation then they do. But I don’t recall Microsoft ever serving time.
- hinkley 4y agoSomething life or your friends should have taught you long ago: If you want to break cycles of abuse in your life, you need to realize and accept that you are not obligated to participate in anyone's redemption story arc but your own. There's a whole subclass of narcissists who play at being victims while controlling everything. Get out. Run. Do not look back.
- mulmen 4y agoDid you reply to the right comment? What am I supposed to be running from? How are you so certain my life experience and friends are inadequate?
- scarface74 4y agoI’ve gone back to my 30 year class reunion. No I don’t still hold grudges against the people who picked on me as a short (still short) fat (I got better) kid with a computer who couldn’t talk to a girl if his life depended on it (I’m happily married). I really don’t think about it. We talk. We ask about family, etc
- mulmen 4y agoDid Microsoft attend its class reunion? Did it chat with Netscape about raising kids? Was it insufferably condescending while doing it? Did it go golfing with 3dfx? Did it cheat?
- scarface74 4y agoWell, do you see Apple and Microsoft arguing with each other like they did in the mid 90s?
- mulmen 4y agoHow many of your high school classmates died before graduation? Your analogy is flawed. Microsoft is a corporation, not a person.
- scarface74 4y agoThat just means it’s even sillier to compare what they did in 2000 to 2023. How many people do you still think work there now as then? Do you think MS is still using the same strategy in 2023 as they did in 2000 even though the landscape has changed? Any long lived corporation is more like the ship of Theseus. They are the same in name only.
- mulmen 4y agoI think culture outlasts people and that they are likely to continue their historical recruiting standards and practices. As I said in another comment, I get older but Microsoft stays the same age. Corporations don’t mature.
