GeekWire: Microsoft Bribes Us While We Cover Microsoft Affairs (Spin Doctoring), Hence We Are "Independent"
What good is a "journalist" sponsored by the very same company he or she writes about? What good is a "reporter" salaried to relay lies for the company that salary comes from?
They're doing it again today:
The top there says "independent" but also bribed by Microsoft. Both cannot be true. That's mockery of the very concept of journalistic integrity.
One common propaganda theme from GeekWire is that the layoffs aren't quite 'happening', citing some very misleading "headcount" figures [1, 2]. As we explained and showed some years ago, GeekWire also burns Microsoft whistleblowers. █
"One thing is for certain, you will reach the ceiling of what you can deliver. If every year you are expected to produce, do, achieve lets say 10% more than the previous year, eventually over time you’ll reach the pinnacle of what you can do. When you reach that apex and there’s no way you can do 10% more, it at that point you’ll have a very different discussion with your manager as to why you have failed in your assigned goals. The key at MS is to move around enough, which seems to start that expectation 10% over somewhat. If you don’t then its best to leave on your own terms before it gets to that. Even more so since MS has seemingly turned really ultra cheap on the severance." -One hour ago, anonymous comment.
