Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up
Henry V .009 writes "BusinessWeek calls him Microsoft's Deep Throat. Although Steve Ballmer denies reading the blog, there are plenty at Microsoft who do. Mini-Microsoft says he wants to "slim down Microsoft into a lean, mean, efficient customer pleasing profit making machine." The user comment section of the site is the real gold: thousands of comments from Microsoft employees who tend to have a dim view about the company's recent evolution. And Microsoft may even be responding to all the internal criticism."
What's insane is that making a criticism of the company is perceived these days as "a liability for incalculable damages".
That's insane.
First of all F U for mis-quoting me and even using the misquote in the context of something else I didn't say. If I knew specifically all the things in his employment contract that he was violating, I'd have listed them, but merely criticizing his employer was not my point.
This guy is writing about confidential internal processes and problems, and soliciting others to do so on a collossal scale - he's insane (and a hero) BECAUSE of what's presumably going to happen if they catch him.
Anyway what is the problem - you don't like the idea of a contract in general?
