For a corporate event Microsoft ceo Steve Balmer (Steve Ballmer) is not performed on the stage dancing, not screaming "I love this company, "and when the sound of his speech, many of his employees left their seats at the stadium Safeco Field. At least, this is exactly the picture arises when reading the comments of the company's employees in the blog of the Mini-Microsoft.

However, a well-known and rarely updated blog is on its way to a somewhat cynical rhetoric, so that to the fact that it is written directly in the post, it is better treated with restraint. However, the number of anonymous comments to the post, is part of Microsoft employees, part from strangers - shed light on the moral condition of the редмондской of the company.

The press and public were not admitted to this internal activity of the company, however, the comments say about some dismay, early on it. With numerous commentators can be found at the above link. We also give some that catch the eye:

"What a sad spectacle. When Steve Balmer began to speak, the people to leave their homes. In the good old days, when the said Bill Gates, everyone listened. Steve, you have lost the support of his staff - when you understand it and leave the company? Yes, and by the way, can take also LB (vice-president for personnel Lisa Бруммель) and KT (operating officer Kevin Turner)".

"In fact, this is the most painful time of 10 years of my life in Microsoft. All or dismissed, or planning to dismissal. All sell shares. The results of the audit this year proved to be the opposite of the real work. Good specialists, writing your own code, receive the mark of 4 or 5 and go, but those who got the highest scores can't cope with the legacy code base".

"Over the last several years I was invited to a corporate meeting, but I can say that it was the worst one I've seen so far. I tried, I tried to convince myself keep from the predisposition and be objective. But it was too difficult to bear the painfully boring demonstrations and uninteresting speakers with their clumsy attempts to express the admiration of our products and the future... it Seems that almost every demonstration was associated with a clipboard of Windows 8, it was only a few nods in the direction of the products that actually show themselves well on the market, and then again began the prayer for rain to the gods Windows 8. Tablet with Windows 8 is all that we can admire? Do the morale of the company fell as much as 20 thousand us all together is not able to create a tolerable applause? Please, someone, tell me that I'm wrong. Tell me that I'm not a psychological setting, and I completely misinterpreted the meeting".

"Yes, it's quite sad to see how the places were deserted during the speech of Steve... I hope he got the hint and leave in the period of Windows 8".

"A year has passed since I left Microsoft, and it was the best year in my life. The lack of vision in the manual, bad work with the personnel, the policy and the procedure of checking, obscure version of the joint work, and when people work together and simultaneously against each other, they forced me to leave."

Other commentators have noted that the speech of Steve Bulmer heard protective notes, when he said that "Windows can not lose." The tone of many of the commentators match what you can hear is usually from the Apple fans; so, they pointed out that Steve Balmer too often gives the promises come true in exactly the opposite - examples include the assertion that Microsoft will overtake Google in the search market for the year or the iPad/iPhone are not threats.

Windows 8 in general was well received by the press, as well as her new interface in the style of Windows Phone. Many, however, have criticized Microsoft for the fact that there are still very few products that are perfectly show itself. The company does not expect the appearance of the iPad, and as a result is not able to offer an adequate response to a period of two years or more. Business Xbox 360 successful, but the sale of Windows Phone and Zune are at the same level or decrease. Windows until nothing particularly not in danger, however, in two of the last quarter revenues decreased, which is a rarity for Microsoft - most analysts attributed this to неважному the state of the world economy and the effect of the iPad.

It seems that Microsoft employees are not the biggest fans of Steve Bulmer. For example, the resource Glassdoor.com, which assesses the rating of companies on the basis of anonymous responses of its staff, reports that 55% of the employed in the Microsoft people do not approve of the lord Bulmer as executive director of the software giant.
