ESR Gets Job Offer From Microsoft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-that-would-have-been-hilarious dept.

epsalon writes "Eric S. Raymond, the well known Open Source Evangelist, recently received a job offer from Microsoft, that he strongly refused. Is this another attempt to lure Open Source figures or just ignorance?" From his post: "I called [the Microsoft HR rep], who told me my name had been passed to him by his research team. I indicated to him that I thought somebody was probably having a little joke at his expense, and promised him an email reply."

    Maybe you belong at Microsoft.

    I would rather cut off my arm with a rusty saw than work for Microsoft.
