In The Spotlight
In The Spotlight!
Once again Microsoft Corp. has found it’s self in the spotlight once again. This time in an embarrassing way they would like to forget about. Here’s what happen just in case you missed the story. Microsoft Corp. had made a mistake in pay to the people they laid off. So what did they do – they asked for the money back. A company with over $21 billion in cash asked 25 people to return $5,000, now that’s a dumb move. They would have gotten away with it 10 years ago, but in today’s world with the internet at everyone’s finger tips it’s not going to happen. To me that’s like buying a new set of pet beds, your animal sleeps on it, then pees on it, and then you take it back, not going to happen. And that’s just what Microsoft did in this case, they laid of people that they could have afforded for years to come. I would have bet that if Bill Gates was still running the show he would have never laid off one person. That’s because in it’s 34 years of being in business Microsoft had never laid off one person, which say’s a lot about Gates. I should also say that after the news of asking for the money back Microsoft decided to let the laid off employees keep the money, but only to save face.
