Microsoft exodus

Key executive resignations at Microsoft SA add to staffing woes

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Is this a normal turnover?

 

[medicnick83]

LOL!

You guys have NO idea about my companies staff turn over... hehe.

It shows you... M$ is rotting from within... not that the Linux people mind

I'd still take an M$ paycheck over most other companies since M$ pays well - - especially considering that if you do well in SA, you're likely to move to head-office in the US. You'll be one rich person then.

I second that- I would greatfully accept the challenge, not too sure I would want to go to the US office though

I think the staff turnover is to an extent normal, but you will never know what went on behind the scenes.... maybe they were embarassed by the failure of Windows Vista, or perhaps, like the previous company I worked for, were subject to sudden corporate belt-tightening and doomsday propheteering and speeches about "the chinese threat"

True, they do pay well, but being a Linux fan and wiping my ass with M$-imprinted toilet paper, yeah well you know what my answer is.

They don't mention that Henry Ferreira jumped from Nokia to Unisys Africa CEO and then 4 months later job hopped to Microsoft?

This is interesting. Makes you wonder how long he will be at ms...

 

[3GisDaMan]

I'll gladly work for them, if only I could stay in CT.

And in January last year, just days before the launch of Windows Vista, Goona Sagaren Udayan, OEM manager at Microsoft SA resigned.

Lol. He knew what was coming. I would have done this too.

I know a couple of staff members at MS, they are also leaving..

I think MS pay very little in South Africa

Must be because Bill Gates retired

 

[Tns]

the pay must have sucked
