Also, I'm curious what it's like to be a Microsoft insider. Is there a perpetual whisper along the lines of "Why can Apple execute, but we can't?".
I'm not denigrating Microsoft and it's employees. But I'm really curious what morale is like over there, before and after Bill Gates left.
edit: Start with Forstall, bring Ray Ozzie back, and you have a very solid leadership base.
- CurtHagenlocher 13y agoFor the most part, employees who are unhappy at Microsoft will leave. From what I've seen, Microsoft employees have no trouble finding jobs at places like Google, Amazon or Facebook -- even those who I don't consider especially desirable as employees. For the rest of us, we're mostly focused on shipping whatever it is that we're working on.
- milhous 13y agoThanks for sharing. Having gone back to student life, but with prior experience working for larger companies, I guess you can't really worry about C-level stuff because it's out of your control. Good advice on staying focused on what you're doing until something affects you directly. How long have you been there, and how would you compare it to other places you've worked at? No need to disclose specifics.
