Not suprising. One of the greatest programmers I ever knew eventually got hired by Microsoft. He worked as hard as one can work, only for his whole team to quit one by one due to the workload pushed on him by a boss seeking KPIs. The boss did so because it was the only way to get promoted. After all the coders on the team including my friend being the last, eventually quit, the boss ended up leaving after not being promoted / being unhappy a couple years later. Non of those coders will ever want to return. Such terrible loss for the company, that deserves no better due its handling of them, with as usual a complete lack of oversight of its middle managers. But Microsoft was never known for carefully curation of talent or breaking technologies, from its roots it was a , take what it can, hold on it, sue the rest. From the earliest days of DOS to the later years of ignoring the iphone, to the careful privacy invading code even from the 90s. I am greatful for all they have done, and some thin skinned managers may read this and be upset, but this is just feedback, which can help improve the company.
