Now, LOLZ aside: Working for Microsoft

without comments

After this excel­lent and funny video, many former work mates ask me what its like to work for Microsoft. The chutzpah to take time to make a video like this is in itself a test­a­ment to the cul­tural state of Microsoft. Well, some parts at least.

Rory Blyth, formerly of the Chan­nel 9 team, writes what it’s like work­ing for Jeff Sandquist.

Sadly, I don’t work dir­ectly for Jeff, but do con­trib­ute to some of his sites. Rory is 100% cor­rect about this par­tic­u­lar part of Microsoft. It is worth a read for those man­agers think­ing about approach­ing this blogging/web 2 world. The stress of becom­ing more cor­por­ately trans­par­ent is going to be felt by the man­age­ment level.

Dunno how Jeff does it.
