Trouble

MS business is in trouble. They have to get COS down and innovation up. The same crappie management that existed under baller is still running the place into the ground. Windows is already irrelevant, office COS is easy two high E5 is a fail. Voice could have been a hero, but MS doss not capitalize when they could of due to flipping ty he field voice over and over, now AWS and Google both have offerings that are simpler. Office will move to $0 as Google will not stop and only excel is stopping that dam from breaking at the moment. Mobile Fail. Azure is behind and still not making money, also losing big customers, confidence and markets hare, do not believe what you are told go pull the 10Q of AWS and MS and read it for yourself. Dynamics is what 3% marketshare? Going after Salesforce? Sounds like iPhone battle again to me. What's left? Surface? Nice device no one cares about. Book? 40% DOA...fail. New mandates about diversity while having to lower staff...the behavior from stack rank is not gone it has gotten worse. Lies to kill off those that threaten. Attach to good ideas until they are overburdened and die.

What innovation? Halogens? Where can I buy one. Samsung will be in the market soon. PS/4 won. Kinet is over.

The company was over when Ray Ozzie left. Everyone there are fighting Theo keep jobs, not advance the company. Complacency and mediocrity are rampant.

Satya moves the stock, but it is built on a silicon valley style that will fall apart because revenue actually matters.

KTM leaving good? Call that the canary leaving the coal mine. He had better offers previously. He knew when to go.

Jump out be pushed off that titanic.

It was a very ugly culture when I was there years ago and my friends that have hung but are now throwing in the towel confirmed each year that it was uglier than ever. Things won't change until they escort out every leader that has been there forever that has been running the place into the ground by stifling innovation, killing off anyone that comes in from the outside that is smarter than they are or have fresh ideas that they actually say out loud - not very hard so a lot of people have been killed off. On of the worst cultures I ever experienced in my career - and yes I have high ratings and made some very good money...but left on my own in the end because I was sick of working with al of the ugly people and HR unfortunately is hopeless in making a dent in an effort to change. They walk the hallways policing people for the dumbest things while missing the big picture, that they are protecting the original Microsoft Mob and keeping the old entrenched ways alive and well. Really sad and trying to market their way out of this can only last so long before it all goes up in smoke.

If you think the word is "dat", you don't need to apply

Brilliant:

Yes it's bad, from a certain perspective. If you join as a contractor you can plan to stay a contractor. They rarely convert to FTE. If you join as FTE they keep you running with the threat of replacing you with any of the contractors.

Most big companies have their issues, but Microsoft is a great place to work. And he/she made no mention of cloud which is really why the stock is up. Join MS cloud.

Is it dat bad at Microsoft. I was thinking of joining them. Plz advice.
