Microsoft Loses Two Key Executives
DIY News writes "Microsoft lost two key employees amidst major reorganization announced last month. One of them has led several MSN efforts and another who was a top developer for the Office unit. According to Microsoft, 'when you have a company of 60,000 employees, people are coming and going all the time.'"
I reallly hope they find these guys, for the sakes of their families. Sure, 60,000 is a lot of people, but losing people... wow, and Microsoft acts like it is nothing.
First thrown chair!
Everybody's a libertarian 'till their neighbour's becomes a crack house.
They lost a couple of key executives.
I guess they'll have to just go to ACE Hardware for their keys, now, just like everyone else...

It's not too much of a shocker, people DO come and go all the time, even at big companies... status quo, IMHO.

Here's the appropriate lyrics for those who want to sing along.
Altho this one might be more appropriate.
Microsoft insiders report that the company still does not know exactly where the two executives went. Local law enforcement has become involved, and has collected a substantial amount of evidence, including two slightly bloody chairs. Microsoft has declined to comment on this evidence.

Microsoft should be declaring bankruptcy any moment, now, give me karma.

This is one of those threads where people get free Karma by pontificating about the impending demise of Microsoft.
:P
I doubt it, Funny mods give no karma. You'd have to make either an insightful, interesting or informative comment to earn that, and I don't think "pontificating about the impending demise of Microsoft" would be insightful.
*Starts whistling, hoping his comment was insightful enough*
(Yes, you can mod this funny, I'm in a good mood today)
Goooooooggggggggglllllleee!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck off, you fucking Google-astroturf!
MS does something: "Oh, it doesn't matter, it's old, and they're evil, and I'm runing Linux since the 70s."
Google does something: "Ooooooooooooh, that's GREAT and soooo innovative!!!! I hope they will blow the M$ out of business really soon now!!!!"
Get a fucking job.
I'm taking bets that most will be modded funny instead of insightful.
:)
Granted though... I could be moderated insightful for THIS post... so I'm betting against myself
The price is always right if someone else is paying.
When I read this quote, "When you have a company of 60,000 employees, people are coming and going all the time." I couldn't help but be reminded of the comment made by Spinal Tap's manager about the band's declining audience.
Marty: The last time Tap toured America, they where, uh, booked
into 10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues, and it
seems that now, on the current tour they're being
booked into 1,200 seat arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and uh
I was just wondering, does this mean uh...the popularity
of the group is waning?
Ian: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...no, no, not at all.
I, I, I just think that the.. uh.. their appeal is
becoming more selective.
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
I, for one, welcome our new pontificating Karma giving overlords (moderators?)!
Don't use the Troll mod just because you disagree with me.
+5 funny is still the most satifying moderation.
You must be really pissed to be +3 Insightful right now.
