    I mean, I feel you, but I also used to work for Microsoft.

    Their management is largely literally delusional.

    The groupthink / corpo culture is so strong that its basically like talking to an ET alien, on many topics.

    So yes, clearly they do not care, but also, they’re very much deluded into thinking that everything they do is just obviously the way you would do something.

    Its very culty, to be frank, its one part of why I don’t work there any more, the other main one being their blatent reproduction of India’s caste system within MSFT itself.

    Multiple times I saw H1B visa junior employees getting viciously verbally absued by more senior employees from India, from a higher caste or social status, shit that I would have gotten instantly fired if I did.

    I went to HR and they told me that actually I was being culturally insensitive because that’s just normal in their culture.

    Absolute fucking horseshit.

    And this was all a decade-ish ago. I am certain it is much worse now, just look at everyone who got fired for objecting to Microsoft aiding and abetting and facilitating Israel’s genocide.

    … I’m gonna need a fucking cigarette, god damnit.
