Whilst EMC spreads the Microsoft Movement
AFTER 15 LONG YEARS in this
bad company,
the man leaves abruptly (with advance notification),
joining the ranks of many others.
Bill Shaughnessy is leaving his post as global VP-sales, marketing and services for Microsoft. He is expected to continue working at the company through March. It's unclear if or how Microsoft will replace him or what Mr. Shaughnessy's next move is.
Also unclear is why Mr. Shaughnessy is leaving; he is a 15-year veteran of Microsoft who, before leading ad sales, was general manger of product management for MSN's communications services, such as Hotmail, Messenger and MSN Spaces. He has also worked in ad operations and, before joining MSN in 1998, and held marketing stints for Windows.
EMC, Microsoft's Partner of the Year 2008, has meanwhile
put yet another former Microsoft employee in charge of a subsidiary.
EMC said Tuesday that it had appointed Harel Kodesh as president of its Seattle-based subsidiary, Decho.

It's very common now, at least in the states, to check criminal records before hiring. Former MS employees and partners need to be caught and weeded by HR, before they get too far into the hiring process.
