This last part is where I have heavily retracted my story. I wish I could tell you how little some senior leaders care about their employees. I wish I could show you the pictures of the partying. To this day it still makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it and have those images play in my mind. This was the third time I lost respect for Satya Nadella as our leader. The first time was how he handled the constant stream of sexual harassment complaints coming from women across the company. The evidence was overwhelming but the company slow walked it. They sheltered and protected multiple execs and even paid for their legal fees. (I had decided my kids will never work for MS after this). People who complained about harassment and hostile work environments (including Satya’s office and support staff) are systematically targeted and eliminated. Second was how he handled multiple complaints (with clear evidence) of systematic corruption and bribing for contracts by Microsoft around the world. This still happens today. Third was how he chose to handle these layoffs. Being an immigrant and father I thought he would have a little more empathy about uprooting people’s lives at this scale. Let alone taking some accountability for the actions, he asked the board for a raise while all of the above issues I mention are still ongoing. We just have a polished PR and HR machinery to handle this now. I see it as a huge moral failure.
