Microsoft's Chief Legal Officer Leaves Microsoft After Nearly 30 Years
And not retiring
According to this new report, Hossein Nowbar is leaving Microsoft. Keep both eyes on the ball. This news matters. The company is in a really bad shape. There's a lot of fake news out there, even as recently as hours ago. Once again, for example, Microsoft uses VAPOURWARE as a form of bribe in the UK, i.e. the usual (something something "hey hi"). And Microsoft's legal chief seems to have just left. Yet almost nobody pays any attention. Instead, we see slopfarms and lousy news sites celebrating more political bribes using money that one 1) DOES NOT EXIST and 2) will NOT get spent. Days ago they used another decoy. What all the latest "Satya says" pieces distract from: Microsoft's mass layoffs are still ongoing, but some are "RTO"-labeled. Microsoft continues using "HEY HI" (hype) as smokescreen and excuse for BUSINESS FAILURE, resulting in an endless chain of mass layoffs (about 12 waves/rounds so far this year).
Anyway, quoting the part which truly matters: "Nowbar, a former Davis Wright Tremaine associate who has spent nearly three decades at Microsoft, said via email that he isn’t retiring from the legal profession but wasn’t yet ready to disclose his next steps. Nowbar took to the company-owned professional networking platform LinkedIn to detail the benchmarks that have helped shape his career."
So he's moving elsewhere after almost 30 years at Microsoft. If things are so rosy at Microsoft, why do executives quit so often? We've covered many other examples in recent years. █
