On: Steve Ballmer's Microsoft

[owlishness]

I used to work for Microsoft, and while I now work for a "cooler" company, it's good to see people doing some actual analysis about it instead of blind M$ bashing.

[laconian → owlishness]

I used to work for them too. The atmosphere just got worse with every passing year. I don't think Ballmer's done anything to rejuvinate the culture. It just keeps getting more cutthroat and political.

[brg → laconian]

Another way of saying this is that the employees are well tenured.
