I read MiniMSFT while they were active in the 00's. The nastiness we saw continued layers down the chain of command. It wasn't just a despot at the wheel, everyone in the bus was singing road trip songs.

I will admit that it says something that Satya was able to survive inside of Microsoft during the worst parts of this, but I don't know if that says more about how amazing Satya is, or that the internal toxicity is over-reported. We all know multiple people who have reported horrible things about Amazon too, and yet there are still people who enjoy working there.

Everyone has their own version of the truth, but once bitten twice shy, and I've lost count of the bite marks. Have your truth, just keep it outside of arm's reach of my nose, thank you.
