Gemini version available ♊︎Microsoft’s Vice Presidents Keep Quitting en Masse
Summary: Sanjay Parthasarathy is leaving Microsoft
WE HAVE attempted to find more articles about this (using Google News), but all we could find are the Seattle-oriented and/or pro-Microsoft folks covering what seems like Microsoft’s little secret.
Sanjay Parthasarathy, the Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) corporate vice president who oversees the company’s Startup Business Accelerator group—which was set up last year with the charter of building new businesses for the company—is leaving Microsoft, paidContent has learned. The announcement was made internally this week, although a spokeswoman said that Parthasarathy made the decision to retire late last year for personal reasons.
So, that would be around the same time as at least 3 more departures at an identical level (vice presidents) [1, 2]. There was another one quite recently.
Microsoft’s PR people (disguised as journalists) wrote about this latest one as well. So what are those “personal reasons”? It usually means lost interest in the company due to lack of prospects, direction, or ethics. There was another one last week. █
