At least Googlers can dissent and protest. Not one big company comes close to the amount of times Googlers can and have affected change. No company is perfect. Look inside yours before always finding flaws in one.
I think we're going in circles. I"ll let it rest. I appreciate that you engaged in a civil way. Are you still at Microsoft ? Is Azure the alpha org now ?
Yes and at Google each individual employee can raise concerns. Not some "org head" who may ask softball questions because his promotion is directly controlled by the CEO. I can't believe you're comparing this cherry picked gathering to a setting where literally anyone can go up and ask a question.
And then you justify leadership standing their ground. Ha. So Microsoft leadership is all benevelant, never wrong. There's a reason 99/100 make the move from Microsoft to G.
Haha nice ! Your bad attempts to doxx me are nice. Are you tweeting in favor of Amazon too ?
It took a pandemic for Amazon's perks to be equal to other companies lol. Just go to blind and see how every Amazon employee bitches and moans about the perks at Amazon. Even at your "concert" people were allowed "2 sodas" lol. Nice.
Tell me one avenue where employees have complained ? Satyas QnA ? And like you said no one does anything there. You really believe 150k people are all aligned with military contracts ? At Google there are at least 4 company level avenues to raise your voice. You can Google them. And Google has walked back on contracts after backlash on employees. So clearly there is more proactive action here. At Microsoft there is both employees are too meek or don't care and employees can't even voice their concerns. Cycle keeps going on and on.
'By the last day of August 2020, 310 employees had added their data to the spreadsheet. Microsoft employs more than 150,000 employees around the world.'
Lol just 94 people protested this contract at msft. I don't want to debate if it's the people at Microsoft or the suppressed voice by upper management. Either way Microsoft gets away with a lot of contentious business decisions as employees are more inclined to keep their head down.
Also about salaries, try creating a spreadsheet for salaries at Microsoft. I guarantee you, you will be fired within the week.
The point I'm refuting is that there are far less avenues in Microsoft for employees to collectively complain or share information together or dissent against the top brass.
LOL Microsoft has few forums to even voice your concern. You can't even share your salaries within Microsoft. It's such a joke to tout it as more employee friendly than Google. For starters it pays lesser across the board. Google has also backed out of many contracts when dissent was raised.
The voices aren't suppressed at Microsoft, because there're no avenues to raise them anyway.
