●● Toxic Culture at Microsoft

Posted in Google, Microsoft at 10:12 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

“Fuck! It took you a year to figure that out!”

–Sociopath Bill Gates

Summary: Racism, intolerance, sexism and bullying are rampant at Microsoft; but Microsoft would rather deflect/divert/sidetrack to Google and so-called ‘GAFA’

One reader wrote to us about the “Conspiracy Theory” that “Microsoft is just as guilty as Google with regard to employee intimidation/retaliation and toxic cultures” and is therefore behind the latest media wave that defects all attention to Google. Months ago Google was blasted for pursuing business in China — the same thing Microsoft had done for like… forever?

“I wonder if they’re sponsoring the presses vendetta against Google at the moment,” this reader added, “because their names aren’t being mentioned in any of these articles.”

“They did this before,” I told this reader. “Their PR lobby was called “Scroogled”.”

Did they ever completely stop all of these smear campaigns? Seems unlikely.

Since the media likes to talk about toxic culture at Google let’s revisit some old examples from Microsoft.

There are lots more. There are dozens of examples in Techrights, but the above ought to suffice for now. Microsoft lacks moral high ground in just about every area. █
