Indeed. This is what happens when a tech company pays too much attention to business men and not enough to developers/engineers. MS has ignored anything that is not connected somehow to its Windows/Office cash cow, and now the world has changed. Money spent on R&D is considered money taken away from the bottom line and what businessman is going to action something that'll lose the company money?
Apple has been very successful (I'm not an Apple fanboi btw), so the engineering talent is our there. Hmm, why weren't those people working for MS making cool things for them I wonder?
Performance review outcomes purely on the basis of length of service? That's abysmal! Sure sounds like you had a very good reason for making them your former employer.
Noooo, "Former employer" sounds like he passed up a ticket to easy street. The longer you work, the better your job performance despite working less hard! And if your initial performance reviews are going to suck anyway, then don't work so hard at the start either.
Give them what they want and game the system for your benefit!
Get off my lawn! This and the back up cam will clearly make it easier to see the expressions on the faces of pedestrians as you run them down. And that's something I can get behind.
So you want to get behind backup cameras being used to reverse over people? I can only assume you have some kind of crush fetish!

So, they might be mistaken. They've probably just detected me and got confused.
